1 out of 5 eggsWORST PSU EVER

Pros: The box says this PSU is "Silent" it really is!

Cons: Don't buy this PSU. Out of the box it doesn't work one bit! There is really nothing else I can say.

Other Thoughts: If your looking for a great 600W PSU, just get a Corsair CX600M, I'm using one right now, it just works!

1 out of 5 eggsalright for price

Pros: Plenty of connectors, long wires.

Cons: Excessive coil whine, heats up extremely fast while gaming or just in general if you're running alot of stuff. Really annoying when the fan is always above 50%. I'm running a FX-8350, Reason 7870, 8gb of ram and a water cooler with 4 additional fans.

Other Thoughts: My main concerns are the whine and that the fan is constantly going. Its louder than my GPU fans in almost all cases. Really annoying and I'm looking to replace it already even though I've only had it since February.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat performance for the price

Pros: Plenty of cables to work with.
Runs quiet and pretty cool considering the load I keep it under.

Cons: No problems yet.

Other Thoughts: When I built my new PC, I was worried about under powering my board, but it turns out this was more than enough for my needs.
Running it under an AMD FX-4300, Radeon 7850 and 4gb of ram, and haven't seen a single hiccup.

2 out of 5 eggsYou get what you pay for

Pros: I used this supply for over two years. It was cheap on sale and has served me well. But;

Cons: My current rig with CPU and GPU upgrades needs 550W minimum. My PSU version has no power factor correction and a 600W supply that can only source 32A of +12V split accross 2 rails (18A) each is not cutting it. Its more like a 500W supply. Cheap Chinese caps have swollen on the +5V

Other Thoughts: For its price range it is probably a decent supply at least better than most OEM supplies. If you don't need more than 500W and more than 2 years service then buy it otherwise spend the extra $30 and get a better supply.

5 out of 5 eggsAmazing budget power supply

Pros: I've had this for almost 2 months now in my budget gaming build and it's been amazingly quiet and cool. The fan is barely noticeable when the room is quiet and virtually silent when in a gaming session. Powers my rig great and does its job.
Has two 6+2 pin PCI connectors for high end graphics cards, though I wouldn't recommend them with this psu

Cons: It isn't 80 plus certified but I knew that when I bought it. It's still pretty good though.
Not modular but I'm good at cable management.

Other Thoughts: Will be upgrading to an 80 plus certified modular 800W psu in the coming months and putting this one in a secondary build powering an AMD APU.
The current rig this powers without breaking a sweat is
Intel Core i5 3570
ASUS P8Z77 V-LX
EVGA GTX 650
8 Gb Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 RAM
Western Digital 1 Tb 7200 rpm hdd
dvd burner
3 case fans

5 out of 5 eggsreally good psu for me

Pros: Easy to install
Has a big fan with good ventilation
Is usually quiet
Lasted me for over two years now

Cons: None really

Other Thoughts: I bought this over two years ago, and used it in my quad core q 6600 setup. My pc started to crash about a year ago, and After going through two motherboards and some ram, I felt that this psu was bad.
So I took it out, opened it up, removed the fan and some wires. I realised I was still getting the prob but paid no attention until recently when I replaced the motherboard and "re built" this psu, and this psu still works!!

I also finds it cools my case good. I have a cheap generic case, but have had 70+ degrees case temps with other psu, and have 35-40 degrees Celsius with this(I live in a hot country with room temperatures at 35-40 degrees).

I have Intel q6600 oc to 3 ghz with antec cooler, 4 gb DDR3 1333 oc and ati 5750 HD oc .

5 out of 5 eggsWorks will Dell Computers -Stays Cool - LOTS of power

Pros: I needed a power supply to replace a Dell Dimension Computer. I bought 3 PSU and none of them worked. Finally I decided to call the PSU manufactures, and the ONLY Company that understood the difference was Coolermaster. All of the other companies simply did not know which one would work with the Dell.

I bought the Cooler Master RS-600 and I was back in business. Latter, I decided to build a new computer using an ASUS motherboard and was able to use the Cooler Master Extreme 600w with it. I am a gamer and have never had any problems. 600 watts is a lot of power and it has a big cooling fan. There are more than enough connectors and if you need more connectors you can get adapters for couple of dollars.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I highly Recommend this power supply
