I seem to have had a run of BCM 450 psu failing recently, the usual symptoms, system starts to boot gets so far you hear some relay clicks and bang it reboots..

Is anyone else having the same issues ?

If its not broke tweak it..
 
None of the PSU`s i have replaced with 400w models have failed again

If its not broke tweak it..
 
So the general sense I'm getting from the thread is that the recommended 300 Watt power supply just doesn't cut it on the 400's or 450's.
