1 out of 5 eggsDo Not Buy

Pros: -Sleeved Cables

Cons: -I hate the turbo fan mode on the back
-This PSU keeps casuing ym computer to shut off during high load situations, waste of $40 dollars

Other Thoughts: -Listen to other 1 egg reviews, the risk isn't worth it
-Spend a little more money and get a know, reliable PSU

5 out of 5 eggsVery good power supply

Pros: - So far haven't had any problems works great I was worried 500 Wwatss wasn't going to be enough but it runs my Phenom II x4 965 and EVGA 660 OC with no issues
- Extra button on the back that puts the fan on boost nice feature
- Had enough cables to attach everything and had extra power cables for HDD, SDD, or disk drives (I only needed two)
- Looks great! The white paint with black lettering looks extremely nice in my black case with blue lighting
- Small, I expected it to be bigger It could probably be an extra 1/2 wide and still fit fine

Cons: - Short cables! If you plan on good wiring this might not be the PSU for you. My 20+4 pin reaches just to the connector with a little play but would never be long enough to route behind the tray. I have the cables tied up alongside the motherboard not great but it works.
- Also not a modular PSU (One where you plug the cables you need into the PSU rather than having 10 or so come out and just tucking away the ones you don't use) but those are generally a decent bit more expensive.

Other Thoughts: Bottom line if your on a tight budget like I was this is a great PSU I've had no issues, it runs great, and you don't need to worry about it being cheap its very nice! I won't be replacing it unless I upgrade to something that needs more power

5 out of 5 eggs

Pros: Good power supply. I mean it works! It powered up everything that I need to send to power to. That's the goal right?

Cons: Only 6 SATA connectors. I really ordered the wrong power supply. No need to take any eggs away for something that I did.

5 out of 5 eggsgreat little psu

Pros: Pretty much all the psu's I ahve purchased in the past have been raidmax, they aren't the most featured, but hey, I like their cases and their PSUs get the job done and haven't failed me yet.

Cons: wish it was modular, but doesn't matter, have maybe one spare cable, and its great for the price.

Other Thoughts: great bronze certified PSU, can't go wrong for the price

1 out of 5 eggsInterfers with X-10 modules/controller

Pros: None. Listen to the other "1 egg" reviews posted here, I should have.

Cons: First one I received would lock up my system as soon as the PS warmed a little. The second one (Thanks, NewEgg for great customer service support) works, but it creates so much electrical noise on my home's electric system that it interferes with my Active Home Pro (X-10 Powerhouse) system. With this power supply installed and the computer running, most of the X-10 modules won't respond to the controller signals. When I reinstall the old power supply, the X-10 system works just fine. I have an expensive paper weight as I won't be using this power supply for anything!

Other Thoughts: I bought this unit to replace a power supply that is louder than I would like. Although this unit is quiter, it's worthless to me.
