Bought it during thanks giving sale, trying to assemble it now, It is not working. Beyond RMA period. Other Thoughts: working with Corsair support to see if they can resolve the issue 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 6/16/2013 8:58:06 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: Good power, Does the job. Cons: A bit on the loud side. Had trouble with my casing. There's a little part that almost made it not fit my tower. Other than a little tweaking, it's fine. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 6/11/2013 12:27:33 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Great power supply with long cables. The fan is dead silent. Cons: Wish it was modular. Other Thoughts: Smells good. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
lucas 6/9/2013 3:19:49 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5good,simple,quiet Pros: nice QUIET power supply, i've never ran it at full load so I don't know if the fan gets loud. Cons: none Other Thoughts: good desktop psu. does what you need it to. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
smk 6/7/2013 11:18:48 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5So far so good Pros: Nice cheap upgrade supply Pretty quiet Cons: Wire spaghetti!

JCAndarcio 6/3/2013 6:19:58 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Choice for a Small/Budget Build. Pros: 1. Lite-weight with a sturdy construction. 2. Stays cool and quiet through a very stable power delivery. 3. Enough power cables to supply a small gaming rig. (1 X PCI-E) 4. Cables are sleeved in a black sturdy plastic mesh 5. The casing is neatly finished with a matte black coat of paint. 6. Brings black zip-ties. Cons: 1. None so far. Other Thoughts: This is a great choice for a small build as long as you don't need more than 1 PCI-E. Everything about this PSU seems to be nothing but high quality. Even the package it comes in feels fancy. I got this PSU for $24.99 after a Mail-In rebate and I saw it at a final price of $19.99 May 31st during a Shell Shocker deal. With those prices, there is no better deal for a power supply of this category. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/31/2013 8:12:50 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5So far works great Pros: Stable, looks quality, somewhat heavy, 80+. 18 dollars after rebate. It only costs $5 usd to RMA any power supply people. Use the Fat rate Padded envelope. Fits perfectly. I RMA and sold power supply using padded flat rate. Cons: So far none, powers my 7850 stable.

spunition 5/30/2013 10:57:26 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Provides ample power to an Asus Z77-A, MSI GTX 650 Ti, i5 3570K, optical, SDD and HDD. no complaints. Sits nicely in a Corsair 200r case Cons: Nothing that I can think of. Other Thoughts: the mounting screws were a little difficult to get threaded and tightened. nothing a little 'merican muscle can't solve though! Not planning to overclock, so this works very well.
