COOLMAX ZP-1000B 1000W ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI / Crossfire ready / 3 way 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC and Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply

Pros: This provides more than enough power than i think i will ever use.

Cons: cables could be just a little longer, but it did reach all of my components even if a couple of them are as tight as bowstrings

Pros: very nice psu, gives stable power and looks great! the modular cords are very nice so you can use them or tuck them away when needed!

Cons: the cpu cords are too short if you have a case where the powersupply is at the bottom you have to drape the cord over the crossfired video cards.. :(

Pros: it powers everything in my gaming pc and still has power left to spare.

Cons: the 8 pin 12v cord was a little short, but my case (cooler master storm trooper) came with an extension for it. because it worked out for me i didnt deduct an egg for it. just make sure that you buy an adapter for the 12V rail if you are putting this in a bottom mount full atx sized case

Pros: Quiet operation, lots of power on the 12v rails (which is where it counts!). Inexpensive for what you get. 5 year warranty (make sure to register!). Future proof as it already has provisions for next gen GPU's. Overall, would recommend.

Cons: The length of the wires! They need to be at least an inch or two longer, and that's on a top mounted case... I ordered a 12v p4 extender just in case. Also, the semi modular doesn't work for this particular unit because you basically have to use all the wires to feed the system due to the inadequate wire length. In my opinion, this causes more clutter than it saves. All of this because they slumped out on a dollar or two of wire... This could have easily been a 5 egg unit.

Other Thoughts: This is currently installed on a low draw 4 year old dual core, single GPU system, hardly a test for this unit. We'll see what happens on Friday when I build my new rig. 2500k processor to go 4.5k+, p8z68-v/gen3 mobo, h60 water cooling, 2x4gb G.Skill low voltage RAM, EVGA 560 TI to overclock to 950+ mhz, Antec Illusion case loaded with 5x 120mm and 1x140mm led fans, and a 120gb OCZ agility 3 SSD. Will report back with the results.

Pros: Modular cables are nice.

Cons: Not all cables are modular - particularly the 8-pin and 4+4-pin MB cables. In my experience you're only going to use one of those.
Cables could have been 1" longer.

Pros: Great PSU. 1000W! It's modular, and can handle 3x dual power video cards. I bought this especially for the 80Plus Bronze rating. Fan isn't LED (I hate LED fans). Using a Kill-a-watt, it shows I'm idling at 140W, and I max out at about 450W with 2 video cards (both of those numbers are draw from the wall).

Cons: The 8-pin power cable for the CPU could be longer. In my bottom-PSU-mount Antec 300, the cable barely reaches straight around to the top of the MB where it plugs in. If it was longer, I could wrap it around the side and not stretch it right in front of my heatsink. Minor gripe, but not that bad.

Only other cons: I wish it was an 80Plus Platinum (up to 92% efficient), and I wish it was cheaper, but we'll have to wait a few years till they can make PSUs that fit both of those criteria.

Other Thoughts: -Antec 300 Case
-GA-990FXA-UD5 Board
-AMD Athlon II X3 445 CPU (soon to be replaced by Bulldozer)
-2x AMD Radeon HD 5850 (with a 3rd one on the way).

Very powerful, and I've very happy with it.

Pros: easy to setup

Cons: it lists 3 x 6-Pin, 3 x 6+2-Pin
but mine cam with only 2x of each cord
so I had to pay to buy some extra ones when I thought they would come with this PSU

Pros: none

Cons: it fried every thing I bought for this build nothing like hooking it all up and then see it go up in smoke ...

Other Thoughts: if you want too see your build go up in smoke buy it

Pros: This product powers everything I can possibly imagine. Runs cool, many attachment cables come with it for any possible configuration you can think of.

Cons: None

Pros: Not only does this psu work, but it works fine. The modular cables are very handy.

Cons: It isn't completely modular, but that is why this 1000w is so cheap.

Other Thoughts: First time buying a psu, for some reason, I was scared out of my mind of frying something. That didn't happen. I'm happy.
