Pros: Worked great for over 3 years!

Cons: Burned out (literally caught fire) right after 3-year warranty was up, and took some of my gear with it.

Pros: Quiet and effective.

Cons: Died after three years

Other Thoughts: Not worth the buy honestly if its going to die so soon.

Pros: Quiet, measurable efficiency (80%), lots of connectors

Cons: Dead after 3 years and 2 months! Cables not modular and really thick

Other Thoughts: I expect things to die, but I really expected 5 years out of this PSU. Considering it was $170 at purchase time (9/1/2008), that is a cost of $57/year.

Pros: Looks good, lots of cables, worked well for 3 years.

Cons: Broke hard after three years. I expect PSUs and hard drives to fail, but after only three years?
Plus, the fact that it's not a modular PSU means that the profusion of cables is in your face no matter what.

Other Thoughts: 3 years at 5 stars combined with 0 stars for the rest of time gives 2 stars.

Pros: Looks Great
Low Noise
A lot of wattage
Plenty of Cables

Cons: Not Modular
No fan speed settings
No LED settings
Did not last long enough for what i paid

Other Thoughts: I purchased this PSU from newegg on Oct. 2007. I paid $220 for this back then.It worked very well for a while. After about a year my PC started to reset on its own. Before i decided to blame the psu i checked all other options. I thought i had fixed the issue and i had no problems for about another 6 months. The resets started happening again. Once again it went away. About a month ago the random resets started to happen a lot more. This time it would reset many times in a row and then last for a few days no problems then act up again. I tried everything possible to make sure it was the PSU and not something else. Sadly i tried a alternitibe PSU i have " a 550w" and the issue was discovered. The 950 had gone bad. Rosewill would not replace it because it was past the 3 year mark. I guess there is a reason they have 3 year warenties and not 4 year.

Pros: Seems like a good supply for the money. Not really taxing it yet but i bought it for a future sli upgrade. I am running a 930 i7 at 4ghz with it with a gtx 470 and it doesn't have a problem with this setup.

Cons: One of the power cords were not long enough to reach the top of the motherboard. I had to buy a molex converter to 8 pin to get it to reach the extra 6" or so that i needed. The antec 1200 case has the power supply on the bottom and the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R has a power connector on the upper left hand corner of the board so it was just too far around to reach. If it was a case with ps on the top if would not have been a problem.

Pros: None

Cons: DOA

Pros: runs cool has crossfire support and runs well with my phenom II X6 1055T, it gives me around 800 watts to play with and has a nice looking blue light. It is reasonably priced with other manufacturers in the same watt bracket.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: 1055T amd cpu, 890gx mb, 1 terabyte WD HD, antec 600 black,
powercolor 5830 1 gig vid card, 4 gig ddr3 1600 running dual channel and mounted at 1066 2k ht, LG blueray burner.
