Pros: Worked perfectly for five months.

Cons: Failed without warning after five months. Just shuts down. Red failure light come on. I could restart it but after the initial failure it would only run for a few minutes.

Other Thoughts: I am wondering if an intelligent PSU like this one might be less reliable than a dumb PSU. In this case the processor clearly was detecting something it didn't like. But perhaps it was being to finicky.

Pros: Silent - I am running a 5960x overclocked to 3.8 GHz. Runnning at 100% the fan does not kick in
Fully modular
Looks great

Cons: Fan runs at full speed and is a little noisy at power on
Expensive
Software takes about a minute to load all values
Internal usb connector is a little bulky

Pros: good

Cons: first one died after a few days, second one has been fine, 1 star for the dead one, 5 stars for the good one, average 3 stars

Pros: Lots of cords, nice soft bag......

Cons: Software sucks, doesn't report right on my x79 sabertooth. I uninstalled corsair link and speed jumped up. Don'y buy with x79 based systems. Also having problems with my fans because of the corsair controls, this is very dangerous for me as there is lots of money invested for work! I CAN'T BURN THIS PC UP!

Pros: The thing looks awesome. It performed awesome, when it worked. Silent when not at full load. Cords are long enough to be routed behind motherboard for excellent cable management. Plenty of cords included. Cords are durable.

Cons: It broke in less than three full days of operation.

Other Thoughts: I'm getting a second one, because maybe I just got a bad one, but a $300 product needs better quality control.

Pros: well built
enough wires for everything
enough power to run your house

Cons: will need big case

Other Thoughts: bought a EVGA 1200xi came DOA... had them send me another before i sent that one back and that one was DOA.. i got RMA for both and bought this corsair 1200.
fired my rig right up

Hero maximus mobo
32gb ram
2 gtx 980
corsair 900d case
swiftech h240 cooler
4 red cathodes
3 140 front fans
1 140 rear fan
3 140 top fans (2 for rad)
2 blueray burners

powers everything very nice.

Pros: Silent fan.

Handles 5960X & GTX 980 in 2-way SLI with plenty of room for upgrades. Since everyone is focused on power efficiency I'm assuming this will last me many years/builds, don't think I'll ever need more power than this.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Corsair Link isn't really useful to me.

Pros: Nice stable power

Cons: It was completely dead after a month. One day its working great, the next day my rig doesn't even power on. No previous symptoms, no smell of burning electronics, just an expensive paper weight.

Other Thoughts: Keep your receipts with this one kiddies, cuz you may need them for the RMA

Pros: Second one works...

Cons: First one broke after a week but with good support I have received second unit after a week that works over a month so far. For this price i was expecting highest quality but after reading other reviews it looks like there are many, too many returns.

Pros: Great specs, nice look, slick packaging... only reason for the 1 star.

Cons: Built a sweet new SLI Rig Friday night. Went to sleep with a smile on my face with games in queue downloading. Woke up (late) Saturday morning with the girlfriend away for the weekend expecting to game all day/night only to find the new PC dead. After several troubleshooting steps I narrowed it down to the PSU. Disconnected all cables and ran the self test... fail. No light, no fan, only 2 clicks then nothing... nada.. zero... zilch. Lasted less then 24 hours. Not what I expected from a high end PSU from Corsair. Unfortunately this looks like a pattern with this unit. Now I'm dreading the RMA process....
