Pros: it looks perrty

Cons: 2 doa psus in a row. should look cool but never actually works

Other Thoughts: ive learned to never buy from apevia.

Manufacturer Response:

You can do an RMA through us for the power supply to get an exchange on the PSU if you are still under our warranty period. You can contact Apevia's customer service at service@apevia.com or call at (909) 718-0789. We try to reply to all calls and e-mails as soon as we can.

Pros: none

Cons: Old technology, I bought this in Sept of 2009 for the same price it is today...$89.99 Died in 14 months. I only left this review because I was so surprised it is still on the market.

Pros: No problems. LEDs are awesome. Good power output and connectors.

Cons: None to report at the moment.

Pros: Attractive price for a 900w supply. Lights look cool.

Cons: DOA. I switched it out with two other psu's and they fired up no problem. This one one gave a faint hum but that's it.

Other Thoughts: This is the second item I've purchased on Newegg that has arrived in a broken state. I hear good things about this site but so far I've experienced nothing but disappointment.

Pros: Haven't had a problem with it over the year I've had it but if I knew how bright this thing would be I may have reconsidered, don't get me wrong, it looks and runs great, but if you're sensitive to light at all when sleeping you're gonna have to turn your machine completely off, as we're all accustomed to right?

Cons: .

Pros: looked pretty

Cons: DOA didnt get to use it ............. swapping out for a 80 plus gold modular 850w or higher

Other Thoughts: dont cheap out on a PSU lesson learned

Pros: Didn't get to use, was DOA, but at least installation and un-installation were easy, and I liked how all the cables were protected, hope the next one actually works.

Cons: DOA

Other Thoughts: Had to pay $14 for a label to send back a defective product. Bummer

Pros: High wattage, LED's look cool, Works

Cons: Not modular
Cables everywhere :)

Pros: Powers my system and components extremely well

i5 CPU
8GB RAM
GTX 460

Cons: I have had none whatsoever

Other Thoughts: A friend reccomended Apevia for my first build a while back and I have used them ever since. I have never recieved a DOA after ordering 4 of these supplies.

A friend of mine used an Apevia Iceburg 680w for his build 4 years ago and it just went out last week. Replaced it with another one that was just as old from a now outdated computer and it's running perfectly.

Pros: Huge 12v rails that even still by today's standards are sufficient for most gaming rigs.

Different color LEDs built in for those "vain enough" to care about having one solid complete color scheme for your system in addition to the option of switching to no LEDs during the times when you don't want a neon blue metal Christmas tree 6-12 inches away from your screen.

Also has active PFC which is largely moot nowadays, but back 2+ years ago it was much much more difficult to find.

Cons: Not modular. 2+ years ago that was expected, these days there are more than 14 total PSUs on newegg that are modular.

Wouldn't mind if the molex were on a little longer cables or on separate sets of cables since they're a bit tight when you're stretching them across all corners of the case but that is more of an annoyance that falls under cable management and doesn't affect the PSU's performance. Not really worth dinging an egg for, but something to keep in mind.

Other Thoughts: This is in my system running about 4-12 hours per day, every day. The average load on the PSU is much lower than it's rated capacity but was intended to be used in an upgraded system that hasn't happened yet due to a hospital visit that consumed my new rig's budget. (Oh well. Living is slightly more important than a higher fps in crysis.)

The power in my area is not very stable and fluctuates (it killed my last PSU after less than 1 year), it has survived 3 power surges, and even the mighty dust bunny the size of a snickers that I pulled out of it 3 months ago during it's first cleaning in 2 years apparently didn't seem to bother it either. (Next build will definitely include filters)

This is the 3rd apevia PSU I've owned. First one was a ATX-AS680W-BL from 2007 that ate a surge and consequently fried (along with some other parts), second one is a 680 watt iceberg from Jan 2008 that is still going strong in my other rig, and this warlock from Sept 2008.
