CORSAIR HX series HX650 650W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: 24 pin and 8 pin are long enough to route behind board. plenty of plug-ins. Good while it lasted

Cons: Only lasted a year.

Other Thoughts: My computer started giving me surge warnings on start up, then it would only turn on for a couple seconds then off then on. I tried different outlets and surge protectors. I ordered a new power supply and just replaced this one. Everything works fine now. I realize that components die but this was not a cheap supply so I am upset that it only lasted a year.

Pros: Price after rebate. Gold rating.

Cons: This PSU has a bad fan that chirps as it spins down, this is a common error noted by others. Also Corsair tech support is terrible, it takes them days or more to respond to a question. I would advise staying away from Corsair products simply because of the terrible service.

Pros: Great PSU. didn't have any problems installing it.

Cons: None so far,

Pros: Good brand name
Nice psu

Cons: Whistles when the fan changes speed

Other Thoughts: its a nice power supply but its really annoying when it whistles

Pros: Good cable management, probably quite reliable. Has been in the several months I've owned it.

Cons: My specimen began exhibiting the dreaded bird call about two months into ownership. And that's exactly what I thought it was... a bird outside my window. At least, at first. And because it only happened every several hours at best, I didn't decide to look into the noise until recently. Once I did some research I found I'm not the only one.

Now the noise now occurs every 10-15 minutes. And the warranty has expired. This is a decent p/s and was recommended at tonymacx86 for a Hackintosh build but I won't recommend it unless you're using in something like a data center. If you use your computer as a HTPC or perhaps as a DAW or anything where noise levels are critical, the chirping will drive you up a wall.

Other Thoughts: Get The SeaSonic X650, which also comes with modular power and doesn't exhibit a cooling fan that chirps like a bird.

Pros: Cable Mgmt is nice

Cons: This thing sounds like a monkey or bird is living in it. Just built it today and it started after running a few minutes. What a pain to replace (RMA) it now that I have the thing built. Wasted hours of my time!

Pros: The pros to this power supply quickly flew south once i powered it up.

Cons: CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP your way back to new egg little bird. RMA after 2 hours of use and ready to pull my hair out. Between a friend and myself we bought 4 of these, 2 if them CHIRP!!!! It's a coin flip if you're going to have to return. NOT WORTH THE RISK OF PURCHASING!!!!

Pros: Very good build quality and packaging. Also modular which is always a plus

Cons: None so far.

Pros: This is a great PSU.
I'm probably pushing around 700 watts though this thing daily with my Crossfire HD 7870XT's maxxed out 1200+mhz each and my i7 3770k OCed pretty hard. Along with a few other items I have running in it. and it takes it like a champ.

Cons: Little high in cost now, but well worth it!!

Other Thoughts: Got it on a deal. So it was worth it to me.

Pros: Ill never use a non-modular Power Supply again! I loved it. Only needed two modular cords. Really easy to install. Increased air flow across my MoBo without all that extra plugs not being there!

Cons: NONE
