OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
An important tip from one of our users: don't just check total power output, find out what you need in the way of current on each power rail. If you need 20 A on your +12V rails and the supply only has 15A, it doesn't matter how many watts the supply puts out: don't buy it. Make certain that you have ENOUGH rails, too: sometimes, you need more than just two +12V rails for your setup.

Replacing an existing power supply is easier: just get a replacement that meets or exceeds the specifications of the old one. (You can usually find those printed on the side of the supply.)

That said, here's a power supply that is compatible with most ATX format motherboards, puts out 600 watts of power (see specifications for exact distribution). Could this be your next power supply?

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Runs all my gear fine. Stable power to OC my 5000+be to 3.22 and my 8800gts512 to 805 all day long. Super cheap after rebate.
Cons: Not the ebst effeciency rating.
Other Thoughts: Good product from a decent brand. Buy this over a no name you're unsure about. If I had to do it over again I'd try to snatch up one of the deals on the Earthwatts 500w PSU.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Decent Price, Works
Cons: A little Noisy
Other Thoughts: My system consists of a Q6600 @ 3.2 ghz, 4 GB Ram, 8800GT 512 video card (700 core / 1000 memory), 4 Sata Harddrives, 2 IDE DVD-rw drives, a wireless card, and an external usb harddrive. My old 500watt power supply couldn't handle this (constant reboots) so I purchased this. I have to say that I've owned this for one week now and it's been working great. Where as my old power supply would reboot every 20-30 minutes, I would leave this on overnight doing memtest and it doesn't break a sweat. I'm a bit weary because people here seem to have bad experiences with this but johnnyguru (psu expert) reviewed this and thought it was pretty good so that eases my worries a bit.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great power and connections for the price.
Cons: after owning it for a while I have noticed a few things..

1.) The cables weren't quite long enough to reach the top two slots on my COOLER MASTER RC-690 case. That was pretty dissappointing, but not really a big deal.

2.) It would be nice if the cables were wrapped in the black mesh for looks, but no biggie there either.

3.) Lastly, the only other thing I have noticed is there could be more sata plugs, for computers being built now days, you think you would get more.
Other Thoughts: personally, if I were you, I would look into a different hard drive. I haven't noticed any smell like the last guy mentioned, and it hasn't caused me any real problems since I got it back in February. For this price though, it wouldn't hurt to just get different power supply.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Has Survived almost 2 years now.
This PSU came in a computer I bought from CyberPower (didn't think I knew enough at the time to build my own.)
Originally there was an EVGA8800GTS 320mb, 2GB of RAM, 320GB HDD and C2D 2.13ghz CPU on a P5N-E SLI MB. I have since changed out the basic RAM for 2 sticks of Corsair XMS2 DHX 2gb per stick, OC'd the CPU to 2.85ghz and put in a Xfi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty sound card, Netgear wireless card and just last month a Palit 8800GT1gb sonic (I think I'll add another if this PSU will handle it. . . just need to make room already have the card).
Cons: first time I turned it on the fan made a very loud rattling noise like others have described. to fix this I took the grill off and flipped the fan (it was blowing in now it blows out) the rattling never showed up again.
Other Thoughts: My whole system stays around 82-91 degrees Farenhiet with stock CPU fan, 2 80mm's and 1 120mm so I figure turning the fan around hasn't killed it. temps under load don't go above now with the 8800GT from palit its cooler is much better then the EVGA stock.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Does what its supposed to, as long as you take care of it.
Cons: Many others have had the same problem where the psu fan was failing. It began to make very loud rattling noises, that would stop when the fan stopped.
Other Thoughts: I solved the fan problem by opening the power supply (voiding the warranty. idc though), removed the fan, and oiled the sleeve bearing of the fan. i did this a few months back and ive had no problems since.
