Pros: Well its a good price for something from EVGA. The second one worked great. Nice cabling, great paint job. After the RMA on the first unit. The RMA service is top notch. Shiped it out and it was a one day turnaround with UPS and three days I have a new PSU

Cons: First PSU died the first day. It had a problem. Second one was fine no cons

Overall Review: EVGA's RMA service is great. They try to sell you a "advanced RMA" to send you a unit before you send the old one in but its not necessary. The RMA service is so fast. I just called them and they were very helpful and 5 days later I had a new PSU

EVGA Customer Support

Pros: Powers my computer
Has shielding around the wires
Didn't come DOA

Cons: None

Overall Review: Would rather of had a girlfriend but my mom says I'm too ugly for one.

Pros: -Run's 4 hard drives 2 7200rpm. and 2 10k rpm, a dvd drive, a fan controller, a gtx 670, and an overclocking amd phenom x4 810 with no issues
-Is VERY silent even under full load, compared to my old power supply
-Is 500 watt bronze certified
-Has MORE than enough connectors

Cons: -I see literally no issues with this power supply so far, if any I will edit

Overall Review: -I will likely keep this power supply when building my new rig over the summer ;)

Pros: Quality power supply at a reasonable price. Stable and runs cool. It is an Active PFC supply.
Plenty of power for i5 system w/16 gigs of RAM, 1 SSD, 1 HD, and ASUS Z87 Pro MB. (NO Video cards). Used for office work and internet.

Cons: None at this time.

Overall Review: I recommend this power supply to others.
I would use this supply in future builds / repairs.
When I bought this supply it had good reviews and EVGA seemed to be a reputable company.

Pros: Works very good, stays nice and cool.

Cons: Arrived with a dent in the side of the metal box. Had to disassemble the unit to undo dent. Probably voided my warranty by opening it. The dent was large enough to short pins out at the underside of circuit board. (Note: the unit was dented but the neither interior box and the outer shipping had any dents or damage, so how did the dent get there? Where is the quality control?)

Pros: Nice looking pwr supply. Quiet, can't tell it's on, that's a GOOD thing. Steady voltage output, even under 100% CPU Load. Using it to pwr FX-6300 CPU, GTX 750 Video Card, 8GB 1866 DDR3 Ram, several (3) 7200 rpm Hard Drives, a 128GB SSD, and 5 120mm fans in an Antec 500GX Illusion Case. I Got my $10 rebate, took 3 months but no problem, making the final price $25. With a 40 amp 12 volt rail that is an excellent deal.

Cons: Honestly I can't think of one single con. Not modular, but that would have been completely unnecessary considering I used all the cable connectors available. Some have mentioned the short AC pwr cable, but in my case this worked out perfect, since I plug all of my electronic equipment into a surge suppresor, you're asking for trouble if you don't. I lost a Rosewill USB modem to lightning by failing to use surge protection.

Overall Review: This is the first EVGA pwr supply I have purchased. I have used their video cards for many years and been very pleased with the quality and performance. If this supply can last as long as my 9500GT video card, still working great, I purchased over 5 years ago, I will be purchasing and recommending EVGA pwr supplies to all my friends and customers.

Pros: Quiet, cables are long enough, price after rebate, bronze rating, enough power for my needs, customer support.

Cons: Bad power supply cable.

Overall Review: Had a bad power supply cable. If I would move a the pc it would turn off. Contacted EVGA they sent me a 5ft. 16awg cable. It originally comes with a 4ft. 18awg cable. Works just fine.

Pros: Cheap, quiet, plenty of stable power, plenty of cables, EVGA warranty

Cons: At this price? None

Overall Review: Running an FX-8320 @ 4.4GHz and a R9 270 @ 1050MHz Core/1500MHz Memory, along with 6 fans, 1 HDD, 1 SSD, Antec Kuhler H20 920, LED fan controller. Plenty of power for the job. It's not top of the line, but at this price I'm not complaining. Plus I know I can count on EVGA if anything goes wrong with it.

Pros: I've got a few good things to say about this, really.

- The PSU that I ordered wasn't DOA, contrary to the typical rumor of a PSU being Dead on Arrival.
- The cables are very nice looking and come organized in the box it was shipped with, and are braided, and they seem durable, so far.
- When I finished putting together my build today (I just ordered the RAM, the last thing I need for the computer to work since my MoBo has onboard graphics.) I powered this thing on, and everything seemed to be working just fine. No awkward rattling noises, and as I can recall, the loudest thing was the CPU fan whirring away (Thanks AMD, you just made a con to my build. Thing sounds like a dang jet engine.)
- The black makes it look super sleek, and it feels durable, and appears (from what I can tell and see) to have rather superior-side quality components on the inside.
- This thing is less-than-whisper quiet. Seriously, I turned it on thinking it was DOA until I noticed the fan moving. This thing is literally scary quiet. I love that.

Cons: None that I know of, yet. If it happens to suddenly die, I'll post again. If I find a con, such as power stutters or something along the line of that, I'll be sure to post later. So far, even though I have really no sense to be posting this considering it arrived today, it looks good. Sounds good...even though it has no sound at all (Pro, though).

Overall Review: Seems like it's well build for the cheap price. I'm not running anything extreme, the only thing very power hungry in my build so far is my processor.

Build:
ASRock 880 GM LE FX

AMD FX 4350 Black Edition Processor (Stock clocks since I have the stock heatsink and fan at the moment)

Old hard drive from my older computer. 500 GB Toshiba..maybe Samsung. Idk.

Old DVD burner from my older computer, I think it's LG.

Gskill Ripjaws Series X 1600 RAM

AMD Radeon 6670 (Don't have yet, and will be ordering some time next week.)

Pros: The power cables are pretty easy to organize (zip ties make this look so satisfying). Lots of extra outputs for multiple GPU's and other PCI-E devices.

Cons: Low top wattage (not really fair to hold against it considering its wattage is as advertised)

Overall Review: More of a PSA than anything, but if you are looking on the low end for wattage for cost, just hop up to the next wattage. PSU's degrade over time and its not a good idea to have a top wattage just above what the components use. Find a wattage calculator before you pick up a power supply so as to not run into this issue. Just for reference, though, a very high wattage CPU combined with a high end GPU is gonna be hard on this PSU. Keep all of this in mind when picking out a PSU.

Pros: Powers my i5 3570 that is overclocked to @ 4.2 Ghz and paired with a gtx 780.

Cons: not one

Overall Review: The ASRock Z77 Extreme6 is overclocking my non k i5 3570 flawlessly

Pros: evga quality. runs quite. has enough power for my SFF box

Cons: none that i can think of

Overall Review: got this with a rebate so it was even cheaper, while not modular the cables are decent in looks for the price segment its in. runs very stable, no weird voltage. got this before they announced their smaller SFF PSU. wish it was modular but that would make the price go up.

Pros: - Look, people want you to believe you need to have modular PSUs. This is not one of them, and that is a-okay with me. I put this into a budget mini-itx build and thus far have zero complaints.
- Wires are sheathed
- Price was remarkable.

Cons: - None

Overall Review: - This is the only non-Corsair PSU I've ever bought. Time will tell if it holds up, but I've seen nothing thus far to indicate it won't.

Pros: I got it super early from the date it said before, easy installation, and works like a charm

Cons: none

Overall Review: love it

Pros: stable, silent, on sale often :-)

Cons: none

Overall Review: This is a budget to mid-range PSU and it does a great job at it. The voltage on all the rails is very stable and well within the ATX standard. The PSU is silent at normal loads. The length of the cables is adequate. Time will tell how reliable it is, but so far I am very happy with it.

Pros: Cables are packaged neatly.
Easy installation (in the right case)

Cons: Not Modular
Tough to maneuver cables around a mATX case - not impossible, but not easy.

Overall Review: Cable are managed well, and easy to use in larger cases
I suggest a modular PSU for smaller cases.

Pros: Provides the power needed, easy to install and hook everything up.

Cons: None

Pros: Worked perfectly out of the box

Cons: none

Pros: Nothing too exciting to write, just that it provides quality, efficient power in virtual silence to my Phenom II X4 (3.2ghz) htpc system with a simple GT 720 GPU. The lack of any fan noise at all is actually rather exceptional. Plentiful connectors and EVGA customer service would round out the full "pros" list.

Cons: Absolutely none.

Overall Review: Looking for stable, reliable, and silent but don't need the power to light up Vegas at night, then this is definitely my recommendation for an ideal PSU. Yet another excellent product from EVGA bought through NewEgg.

Pros: Rock solid construction-
Stable power-

Installed it, turned it on and haven't turned it off yet. Currently running Blu-ray drive, 1TB HD, 2 500GB SSD, MOBO-CPU(of course) Radeon R9 285, with zero problems. Lots of connectors, even MOLEX, what are those used for again? Plus PCIe plugs for video.

No complaints at all. Class act company with an awesome product here.

Cons: ZERO!

Pros: It's a good cheap power supply made by a name brand. Has plenty of sleeved connections. Powers my I5 and gtx 970 with no problems.

Cons: Some wires are stiff but did work for routing.

Pros: Im giving this review after almost 5 months of usage and I can say that, I don't need to worry on a failing power supply anymore since I purchased it. Was using a generic one previously and had to worry about it every single day. This is listed as a tier 3 in Tomshardware if I'm not mistaken, so its a good choice for a medium spec gaming rig.

Don't have any problems OC'ing my 8320e to 4.2 GHz together with my GTX 960. The rebate process was also very smooth. Took less than a month to get mine. Thumbs up to EVGA for this!

Cons: None

Overall Review: I wished I had bought the 600W PSU for more headroom as it was a few dollars more than this at the time I purchased this.

Pros: plugged everything in. works. not sure what else to say.

Cons: idk, what would warrant a "con" in a psu? it wasn't doa. that's good.

Pros: Really cheap. Just $29.99 after a $20 rebate.
80+ bronze!
From relatively reliable manufacturer
3 year warranty

Cons: Would rather get cash compared to Amex gift cards from rebate

Overall Review: Really good if you get it for cheap.
I used this for my first build, and it's working great.
Build:
AMD FX-6300 3.5ghz with stock heatsink
4x4GB DDR3 RAM
GA-970A-UD3P Motherboard
MSI R9 270X 2GB
1TB HDD
1 normal fan, 1 led fan
1 fan controller

Pros: Silent.
Power efficient.
80 plus bronze.
Runs relatively cool.
Cheap at $54.99 at time of review.

Cons: None as of time of the review.

Overall Review: Great 500w psu for the buget or entry gaming build, which is why I purchased it. This guy went into the PC I built for my brother. It is powering a ASRock Z75 Pro3 mobo, i5-3470, Asus GTX 750ti, Seagate 1TB HDD, and 4 GB (2x2 GB) of G.Skill 1600 Ram. I will be adding another 4 GB of the same ram for a total of 8 GB (4x2 GB) in the near future.

Pros: Works very well. silent. very good product.

Cons: none!

Pros: Built my own computer with customer parts, including this power supply. Had no problems with it yet after 2-3 weeks worth as of 2/4/14

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great power supply for the price

Pros: EVGA 500 B Bronze Certified
Haswell Certified
Very Quiet Almost 100% Silent!!!!
Perfect for HTPC
Looks Good 2,,,

Cons: None,,,

Pros: For what you get this thing is a great deal especially with the 15 dollar rebate rebate

Cons: the supplemental power cord was a bit short even in a mid tower case forcing me to run the cable in front of everything

the power cord is also insanely short... like 2 feet maybe

Overall Review: i would have still bought this product knowing what i do now

Pros: Incredibly quiet, incredibly cool, single 12vrail, cheap, 3 yr warranty.

Cons: Cables are on the short side.

Overall Review: Guts are made by HEC. Component quality is good, but not excellent. Crossload less than desirable, but in practicality this doesn't matter a whole lot.

Also, I wish newegg would stop pooling reviews with other products what the hell is that?

Pros: It passed my personal intense 2 day test with my hd7850 and fx 4130. Quieter than my cx 430 which was supper quiet. The only sound i hear now are the flaps of the butterfly wings outside. Also got it for $25.

Cons: Only used it for 2 days

Overall Review: Awesome but id wait for more reviews. Or be an adventurer like me and buy one.

Pros: Quiet fan, thats about it.

Cons: Failed after less than 20 hours life! PSU is completely dead now.
Messy cable layout
Very ridgid and inflexible wires, makes cable management difficult.

Overall Review: Have this power supply sitting unopened in box until a little while ago waiting to use in a build. After installing it in my build it FAILED with less 20 hours use. This is the worst psu experience ive ever had.

Pros: Good while it lasted

Cons: Expensive outcome

Overall Review: Overall this has tough me a valuable lesson don't cheap out on your power supply. Sent the pc for repair to find out the power supply fried the motherboard, my graphics card and one of the ram sticks. This psu truly is something else are you looking to upgrade your pc? look no further install this bad boy in and get forced into buying a pc. This is very frustrating and sad for me.

Regards,
EVGA

Pros: Easy to install and have always bought EVGA power supplies but this unit is the first that I have bought and installed that has been truly unreliable. On very light duty no overclocking no extra graphics card power to motherboard sections failed. No issues with Newegg. Probably a good reason to buy Newegg extended warranty on any heavy postage items.

Cons: 3 year warranty has a big gotcha. You have to pay postage before sending a RMA. Really is a "tuly limited warranty" for any sub 100 dollar power supplies from EVGA. Really makes no sense to pay more for postage for a 2KG RMA return package where postage is approx 43 dollars Canadian. Cheaper to buy new from Newegg when on special.

Overall Review: No would not recommend this model to anyone. EVGA approved the RMA but 43 dollars to return the item makes the power supply proposition a throw away item. If you bought a high end unit then postage not the full cost of product to make a return. No issues with Newegg but disappointed in this particular EVGA product.

Manufacturer Response:

Pros: Works no issue, easy to install and powered right up

Cons: Its not modular , so you have to deal with the cables.

Overall Review: I used EVGA power supplies in all my builds, I just trust them and they haven't let me down yet.

Pros: EVGA makes a good power supply.
performance.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I put this in a computer that i built for a friend. so far he has had no issues with it.

Pros: Nice solid power supply. Plenty of power connectors for everything you could imagine throwing into a PC case (even a floppy drive!). The power supply includes a master power switch on the back as well.

Cons: None - good quality power supply

Overall Review: This not a modular or even semi-modular power supply. This is old-school so you'll need to find an area to tuck away the connectors/wires you are not using. Not a minus, just letting other potential buyers know.

Pros: -No problems with it

Cons: -None

Pros: it`s a power supply - whats to tell / does what its supposed to do.

Cons: no cons.

Overall Review: I would buy again - absolutely .

Pros: This is the 5th EVGA 500 I have used in a build, and I have never had an issue using these PSU's what so ever. Provides more than enough power for low to mid level systems.

Cons: None.

Pros: +12V@40A more then excides my Video Cards requirement of A minimum 300W or greater system power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 18A) works as advertised

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133320

Cons: none

Pros: I could not tell you the pros it didn't work. However the return was hassle free so far, expecting refund in a few days.

Cons: DOA

Overall Review: I have heard of other people having this issue with this power supply also.

Pros: Great power source for my DELL

Cons: Better power source than the one that came with the computer

Pros: These EVGA PS's have never failed me yet. This one like others I've bought are dead quite. I usually buy a PS that has nearly double the wattage as what's needed for that build. That insures the PS is pulling a very low load.

Cons: None here.

Overall Review: Buy this one or any EVGA PS,they'll work in your build like they should!!

Pros: Easy to install with no prior experience in pc parts. It runs quietly and I have had no issues with my pc turning off or anything. I have a simple pc with only this power supply and a GTX 960 running on it.

Cons: It's not really a big deal but it isn't modular so you will have extra cables you may not use. They might make it a little tighter fit if you have a small case like my stock HP case.

Overall Review: Very good performance I have had it for a year with no problems and works for a budget pc build.

Pros: -Low noise
-Quality build
-Solid power delivery

Cons: -None so far

Overall Review: I highly recommend this unit. 500w is usually enough to power most medium builds so this is a good unit to go with.

Pros: Reliable clean power
great price
great customer service

Cons: 8 pin CPU a little too short but not to bad

Overall Review: If you're looking for a good quality power supply for a good price the B series power supplies from EVGA are my typical go-to for clean power, Corsair and EVGA are the only company's i use for builds, however EVGA has them beat on price

Pros: Love EVGA products!!! Works as expected and great for budget builds!!!! Great price!!!

Cons: None!!!

Pros: Hooked up to an amd fx 8320 cpu with a gtx 970 and now gtx 1070 all overclocked with 2 hard drives and works fine for over a year now. I guess some people here are having bad luck receiving some defected supply. Well I can say that when it works its great and no problems with noise or power fails.

Cons: Nothing really it does exactly what i want it to do.

Overall Review: I'd recommend it to medium lvl users who doesnt need uber power and want to save some cash. Its a nice middle ground

Pros: -Worked fine
-Did not blow up
-Very quiet !
-Its black like my soul
-Its simple and a Good Price !

Cons: -N/A

Overall Review: -Would Recommend
Currently Running
2 1Tb HDD
GTX 460 (soon R9 290x)
AMD Athlon X6 II
TA970 Mobo
16GB Ram

Pros: Can't comment on longevity yet, but:
-quiet, almost silent (budget system with i5 and 130W GPU)
-easily powers everything, no problems with included connectors (important in a non-modular psu)
--...it works well. basically.

Cons: I read that this was Haswell "compatible", which essentially means that it supports the new C6/C7 power off state of Haswell CPU's. IT IS NOT. This is not a big deal, as my motherboard (GA-h97n-wifi) supports disabling the C6/C7 state, but if these states are not disabled, the computer will not wake up from sleep. Mine would briefly spin up the fans, cut all power, then power on again and nothing would display (required a hard reboot to fix).

Easily fixable, but scary because it looks like the PSU is dying. BAD FORM to mislead the consumer with marketing...

Pros: Good quality for the price
Plenty of cables
Sleeved cables
Easy to install

Cons: Some cables are short but I expect minor flaws like this from a $30 Psu

Overall Review: Amazing for a mid tier gaming rig. Would highly recommend

Pros: The price
Worked as desired

Cons: A little louder than I would hope, but it is a bronze rated PSU. PSUs such as these don't include higher end fans or cooling methods, so they tend to get noticeably audible after a few hours.

Overall Review: To be fair I am used to platinum PSUs with hybrid fans that never turn on, so this is slightly louder for me, but not horrible.

Pros: Worked perfectly, very quiet, plenty of connectors and plenty of power for my graphics card.

Cons: The cables can get a bit tricky to fit in tight spots.

Overall Review: Worked great, I bought this psu to replace the cheap no name brand that came with my PC's case. I can happy report that this PSU not only is more quieter but it looks and feels like something that is very high quality.

Pros: Very well built, solid, awaiting parts so I can finish my build

Cons: PcRush sent this in a box with a single crumpled up brown(looks to be brown paper lunchbag material) for packing, and sent through usps

Overall Review: Cheap, looks amazing, comes with oodles of connectors

Pros: Starting to like EVGA PSUs. This is my second one. My first one is a 600w with a little over a year on it and no issues yet. I have no doubts that this will be any different.

Cons: Not modular. (For the price, I'm not too concerned.)

Overall Review: $49.99 with $20.00 rebate. I've been hearing that corsair hasn't been honoring theirs.

500w for 30 bucks? I'm down!

Pros: Got to replace PSU which would "Windows Kernel event ID 41 error" when playing some games. This PSU which was 250W less than the 750 worked fine ... , However mine developed bad grinding sound within the first week. Which as I understand it they would accept a swap out at no expense to myself. I was so relieved to have working albeit noisy psu that I didn't contact EVGA for a swap out.

Cons: I never returned the PSU, as it seemed to work fine with the exception of the grinding of the fan. But my hard drive failed after noticing some

"Windows Kernel event ID 41 error's"

which basically mean the computer turned off without shutting down, whcih could be attributable to a problematic psu or the fact my hard drive was toast due to the same errors occuring with the old PSU ... go figure, however a PSU which sounds like a 15year old dodge is probably not a good thing to keep in this build. SO Im going to see if they will still do a swap out for me ...

Lesson for all ... any problems contact EGVA first.

Overall Review: [February 9th 2016] edit : albeit noisy its still running almost a year on ...

Pros: Used the INCLUDED tester to make sure it powered on. If it weren't for my case fans I plugged in I would have thought this was dead. The fan is absolutely SILENT without load. I turned off everything in my room and still couldn't hear anything. Air movement was great. If I run into issues after I build my computer I'll update. The cables have a nice mesh covering, long enough for my Mid-tower. I have a very simple build so I'll be putting most of the power cables behind the steel plate. But it's good to have upgrade potential!

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: If your CASE doesn't have a bottom vent for bottom mounted PSU then you are advised to install it upside down so you aren't blowing air against a solid sheet of metal/plastic. That's a Con for your case though. This PSU rocks!

Pros: Good value power supply and I define value as good performance for the price. I wanted to put a video card in a Lenovo PC my girlfriend bought at a big box store, and had to upgrade from the 300 watt cheapo power supply manufacturers use. Installed this one with no problems, and no problems getting the rebate from EVGA either. It has been working just find for about 9 months now, and I have bought as second one for build I am doing, and will buy a third to upgrade a friend's computer as well. Another reason I decided to go with EVGA is that I only use their video cards, and never had an issue with them either.

Cons: I have not had any issues, so no cons at all, other than they could do a buy one get one free deal, lol.

Overall Review: You can't go wrong buying this power supply.

Pros: Well Constructed and performs as expected. Easy installation and cable management despite lack of modular cables. Great price.

Cons: None so far. Will update if it suicide bombs itself and my other components.

Pros: Good output values, EVGA 3 year warranty, price.

Cons: Non modular, sleeve bearing fan (bad thing).

Overall Review: This Psu is a product for medium budgets offering a good relationship between price and performance.
Testing on stress programs as OCCT, the Psu offer solids values on the 3 lines: 3.32 (+3.3V), 4.97 (+5V) and 12.16 (+12V). No coil whine, silent fan, adequate long wires, It could be better? the answer is yes if I put it side by side with my EVGA G2 750 but if your are looking for a decent and inexpensive Psu it's a good option.

Pros: - Easy to install in a mid tower atx
- No noise at all, very amazing

Cons: - Instructions are very poor if you are not familiar when changing stuff in your computer.

Overall Review: If you are buying this for a mid tower, consider the fact that it's not modular and that the overall wires will need space.

Pros: Cheap and comes with 3 year warranty

Cons: lots of cables

Pros: -Got it for $30.
-I have a mid-tower. Fits. (Duh)
-80+ Bronze
-Works

Cons: I don't like how short the power cable is. It's not unrealistically short or anything. Actually it might be normal size. But I want something longer. (That's what she said?)

Overall Review: Got this for $30 for a cheap gaming build. I don't know if I could have made a better choice.

Pros: For the price, this PSU is one of the best choice for a budget computer, or if you're just needing to replace/upgrade your PSU. It doesn't have that cheap feeling to it a lot of PSUs have at this price range which really surprised me. I am thoroughly satisfied with this power supply and would definitely buy from this company again.

Cons: Although this is a great power supply, it does fall short, kind of literally. The CPU power connector is a bit short. I have to thread it over my GPU just to so it would reach the CPU power header on my motherboard. I would not recommend this PSU for any case larger than mid tower, especially if your motherboard has the CPU power header on the left side, otherwise you might have trouble getting it to reach.

Overall Review: Some of the peripheral connectors feel cheaply made and might come out of their plastic coverings.

Pros: good price for the performance.

Cons: none I can think of.

Pros: Cheap, quiet.

Cons: Shipped defective. One of the two SATA power cables was bad out of the box. Poor QC.

Overall Review: Was able to finish building the system by using a molex to SATA power adapter to replace the bad cable. Testing _ALL_ the power cables before shipping a power supply should be an obvious thing to do.

Pros: Have had the PSU for a couple of months and seems to work just fine. I have a smaller case so cord length was good, and it was very easy to install.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Bought this to make sure I would have enough juice for my HD 7750, I had read you could do it with a 300w but wanted to make sure I was good to go. So for the price with rebate (25$) there wasn't a better option anywhere!

Pros: works great real quite

Cons: none

Pros: This PSU is awesome. It runs quiet and it felt solid when handling it. So far it hasn't died or caught fire so I feel pretty confident in it. At the time of me buying it, the PSU was only $40. Which if you ask me was a steal.

Cons: Cables are not modular and they are thick which makes cable routing a little hard.

Overall Review: I feel sorry for people now because I saw that the price had been increased on this unit from the original sell price. Its a fantastic PSU, but not worth the $60 its going for at this time.

Pros: Price
Build Quality
Warranty
It's made by EVGA

Cons: Unicorns didn't fly out of the box
Didn't come with a free three wolves moon t-shirt

Overall Review: Seriously why are you reading reviews on this power supply? With the mail in rebate it was only $35. It's like getting a Bugatti for the price of a Kia. Just hit the purchase button and all of your problems go away. Register with EVGA and enjoy their excellent customer service in the event Chuck Norris karate chopped yours and it stopped working.

Pros: - No hiccups under full load
- Cables are decent length
- Can't even hear the fan spin
- No changes since it's been out of the box
- Great price

Cons: - Nothing so far

Overall Review: My only "complaint" would be it's not modular, however I bought this product knowing that. Got it on sale fr about $30 or so, definitely well worth the money.

Pros: Good PSU, sleeved cables, Haswell certified. Single 12V rail with 40 amps capacity, a must for newer GTX700 series cards that demand at least 30A on 12Volts. Super quiet, cannot hear the fan running, even with all case fans unplugged.

Cons: Cables are a little short, but had no issues, so not knocking an egg off...

Overall Review: Replaced an aging Antec True430 that was from 2004... This EVGA PSU is a lot better, EXTREMELY stable voltages, 12V, 3.3V, and 5V rails all stable within .001 volts, 5V is reading steady at 4.992V reported in BIOS. The random shutdowns and reboots are thankfully a thing of the past!

Pros: Quiet, well built, adequate connections. Good quality sleeving.

Cons: none for the price

Overall Review: This is a solid, no frill power supply that is quiet, and well built. Perfect for a mid-line system. I have no complaints. The cords were good length and all sleeved. Used with an install of an older Phenom II x6 (power hog 125w CPU) and it is perfectly stable and quiet/cool so far.

Pros: Bought for HTPC at a very good price after rebate and worth every $$$.
Rebate took 8 weeks to receive and every stage is updated on their website.

Good quality
long fully-sleeved cables
Ample Cables.

Cons: Not a complete silent PSU.

Pros: Lots of Connectors, nice sleeved cables and easy to organize. Simple.

Cons: None Yet

Pros: very nice and has sufficient power for running a beginner gaming pc. Especialy like the double deal by newegg and evga

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great price (watch for sales/rebates on this one!).
Super quiet.
Great supply for a budget box, even a budget gaming box.
I run an i5 and an r9 270x with all the standard peripherals without any issue.

Cons: None at this time.
As noted above, I'm not really driving this thing hard.

Overall Review: I do wish it was modular just to avoid the cables I don't use... but the price was right!

Pros: Very good deal, I got mine with a rebate. Build quality seems to be pretty high. I am comparing it to a Corsair CX600 and a Thermaltake TR2 600.

Love the fact that it has a single 12v rail with nearly 95% of total output put (480W max). All the cables are sleeved. Unlike with the Thermaltake PSU, the SATA connectors and all other power connectors are easy on the hands and hardware because you don't have to jam and force them into the hardware.

Another important thing to note is that the voltage on this PSU is extremely stable... Less than 1% +- for 12v rail, 1.5% +- on the 5v rail and less than 1% for the 3.3v rail which is pretty impressive.

Lastly, it runs extremely cool and silent, which is pretty standard for most PSUs nowadays.

Cons: For some reason they decided to split the CPU power connector into two parts. This can be extremely frustrating if you are working in a tight case or simply trying to do good cable management. As much as I love this PSU, I had to knock off an egg for that.

Same goes for the motherboard connector although at least they have a good reason for it since some old motherboards use the 20 pin power connector.

Overall Review: I paid around the same amount for all three PSUs mentioned (TR2 600, CX600, and this one of course) and I would have to say that this one is by far my favorite pick.

Pros: -Really quiet.
-Inexpensive
-quality build
-Great Value for the money
- not modular so no finicky connectors or plugs to come out. (modular isn't always a good thing)
- Lots of connectors for any hardware you have.
- Plenty of power for most users. (If you have 10+ HDDs and 4 GTX 980s in 4 way SLI then you already know what you need and you weren't looking at this PSU anyhow.)

Cons: - not modular, but as mentioned before this has its advantages
- The cables are a bit stiffer than some of my prior builds so just plan out your cable management before you start trying to stuff wires into tight places. Not that big a deal, though. (The positive side is that they used nice thick wires to efficiently distribute the power to your system.)

Overall Review: If you are even considering this one then buy it. At the very least you will have a nice back-up PSU to use while you RMA your $200 one that randomly reboots on you from a bad connection at a faulty modular plug. (Why do I keep mentioning that expensive modular PSUs aren't always better? Experience maybe?)

Pros: Solid consistent power, more than adequate cables nicely wrapped, great cooling fan and very quiet, nice looking too. Perfect, accurately rated, 500W power supply for a very good price. Going on 5 mos. 24/7 without a jitter.

Cons: None for my build. Those who complain should research their builds better and buy accordingly.

Overall Review: People who complain about the cable length on a 500W power supply should understand it is not designed for a full tower case with fancy cable management in mind. The system I put together was for the president of a bank, was in a smallish case, had 2 HD's, one for automatic backups, a nice AMD processor, tons of RAM, but NO gaming video cards. Todays high end vid cards suck the juice and need to be powered accordingly. You should always ensure your power supply has a few hundred more watts than you think you need, don't stress them, they get too hot and will fail. Big cases need power supplies that are made for big cases with all the extras that you might want and then need to pay for, if you really want them. This is a very nice, high quality , 500W power supply and EVGA is a very fine company that stands behind their equipment.
Don't complain about your rebate when you do things wrong. I have spent over a quarter million dollars through newegg, and was one of their original customers way back when, and have never not received a promised rebate. Bottom line, great power supply for the right build and I would recommend it for the proper situation and EVGA products any time.
Last but not least, if it is electronic and I want it to last, I always plug it into a good quality, adequate capacity, UPS. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, EVEN DURING ASSEMBLY! If you don't, don't be surprised when the power company or some stray surge or drop in power fries your stuff.

Pros: I've purchased so many of these supplies it's ridiculous. They're my go to whenever I need a supply for a new build or a replacement. These supplies are tough and handle most abuse flawlessly. They are powerful and generally give excellent service and life.

Cons: None.

Pros: reliability - have this model in several cases (mine x3 and family x1). oldest one is probably about 3 or 4 years old now.
quiet
clean cable config

Cons: not just EVGA, but wish all manufacturers would allow for more space between connectors

Overall Review: after having good success with a couple of EVGA video cards, I gave their PSU a shot several years ago. very happy I did. bought this on sale, add in a rebate card too, and it was a no-brainer for me to buy one as an extra/backup for whenever I have to replace another family member's PSU.

Pros: I like the sleeved wires and it has enough connectors for just about anything. It was powering an SSD, a SATA disk, a DVD drive, and a graphics card with no problems till...

Cons: I bought this drive in November of 2014 so I got almost 3 years out of it, then it started to give me power fluctuations. Replaced it with an Apevia Beast 550 Watt.

Overall Review: I probably would recommend it to others, if all they need is for it to work till about the time the warranty runs out...I gave it one egg for every year it worked!

Pros: Worked fine until it didn't anymore. I like the sleeved cables and low noise yet with ample power. Looks are nice but my PC is not windowed nor overclocked.

Cons: I purchased this PSU on 11/26/2014 it is now 04/22/17 still within the three year manufacturer warranty and it has failed. I started hearing a noise other than the fan but it seemed to be coming from an external HDD. Simultaneously my PC started rebooting randomly. After reseating everything with the same results I swapped in a PSU from another PC and the problem went away. I am trying to RMA it via the EVGA website but no luck so far.

Overall Review: I wish EVGA would read this and reach out with customer support. What good is the warranty if you cannot return the item. I just want the warranty that I paid for to be honored.

Pros: - Works
- Quiet
- Easy to install
- Provides for everything in my computer

Cons: The plug-in on the actual power source itself is loose. if the cord moves AT ALL it disconnects therefore killing all power to my computer while I'm in the middle of doing things. The things that cause it most often are bumping the computer with my knee (I have a small desk) or just gravity weighing the cord down too much.
It's ridiculous.
I haven't found a way to fix it but since my first one that I put in my computer I've ordered a second for another computer I'm building hoping it wasn't a common problem but it's turned out to have the exact same issue.
If it weren't for this, the product would be super duper but this little tick is one of the biggest, most annoying inconveniences I've ever experienced.

Overall Review: I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Ever.

Pros: -Powers everything well.
-Easy installation.

Cons: Idk much since it was my first build, my first pc for a matter of fact. But the power cord is small, and is loose when connecting to the computer. It’s annoying when my freaking cat walks under the table and his tail only touches the cord and the computer turns off.

Overall Review: Like I said if only the cord was tight to the computer which is why I only 4 starred it, there’s no other complaints.

Pros: No issues when it worked

Cons: Instead of being DOA, it was half DOA. It was working the first like two days, then all of a sudden I start getting crashes and I figured out it was because my 12V rail was bad...

Overall Review: Don't buy. I like their graphics cards a lot but going through support isn't worth it just to get another dead power supply.

Pros: well for the price you get a good solid 500 watts of continuous power rated at 40c. I have a gtx 970 on this and it power fine. I only BUY EVGA power supplies.

Cons: its only 500 watts.

Overall Review: I bought this as a budget PSU untill i can afford the 1000w EVGA psu i want, but i have to upgrade my computer piece by piece now that its built tyo what i want. this PSU fit the price and performance. 5+ for EVGA products.

Pros: Super reliable
Pretty easy to install

Overall Review: Hasn't failed me after almost 5 years of hard gaming and usage. Got it for a great price aswell. GOATED

Overall Review: This psu is dog, it died in just a couple years of minimal use and fried everything in my pc

Pros: Well Sheathed cabling with Strongly attached connectors
Cable Length is just right for Mid-tower and Micro/Regular ATX builds
Runs cool even for a Bronze.

Cons: Could use more sata power connectors and less MOLEX, but has enough for most people.

Overall Review: It's a good PSU, there's really not much else to say. I've never had it go into over-current protection and the fan is very quiet. It also rarely even gets warm to the touch when stressing a 4790k and 1060 while gaming even though that's not really near the limit for this PSU. It's great for mid-tier builds.

Pros: Worked well for 2.5 years, but no longer

Cons: Worked well for 2.5 years, but no longer

Overall Review: A power supply from a well known brand like evga should not die after 2.5 years. I'm very disappointed with their quality, so I will not buy another EVGA power supply.

Pros: Durable, reliable and long lasting

Cons: None that I can think of

Overall Review: I bought this PSU a few years back as a replacement as my old one crapped out on me 5 years ago and I've used the same exact one in every one of my builds and am gonna continue to use it in my next one

Pros: Great power supply. I have had it working in my old PC for about 3 years now.

Cons: NA

Overall Review: A good buy!

Overall Review: Everything I expected.

Pros: delivered on time! and in good working condition

Cons: haven't had a problem

Pros: good first impression but only lasted half a year. It worked great at first. I was glad it came with a free self tester which i did put to use.

Cons: My computer just went out one day. I checked everything and it came to the psu. Thanks to the tester i was able to figure out the psu did die on me.

Overall Review: I was very bummed out it didnt last, because this is my third build and everything has worked great, this is the first part to break on me and i didnt really find out why. I am in the process of contacting evga to see if it is covered in the warranty and i will write back on that experience.

Pros: It looks nice.
It was cheap.

Cons: It only lasted 2 months of light use before failing.
It was cheap.
The supplied cord did not fit snugly in the power supply. This caused the computer to shut down unexpectedly if the cord was bumped. Luckily I had different cord that actually fit.

Overall Review: Not sure if I would recommend it. Hopefully the warranty claim is a higher quality.
