XCLIO GREATPOWER 1000W ATX12V CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Retail

Reviewed By: on 12/30/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Worked fine the 7 months it did work

Cons: Lack of customer service. I have sent emails to every email address I can find since there are no phone numbers, and have yet to get a response. This has to be the worst company I have yet to deal with, and as a business owner, I deal with many companies. We will never order another Xclio product.

Pros: The modular cables were nice and allowed for a nice and neat cable management system

Cons: The power supply ran under extreme strain with the following:
AMD 955 BE
2xSLI BFG GeForce 275 OCX
5 120mm Fans
1 Zalman CPU fan
2 10,000 RPM Veloci-raptor drives

UNTIL IT NUKED. This is quite a pricey PSU and is advertised to work under the loads required for my system. Not only is it extremely disappointing to have a blown PSU, xClio doesn't make it any easier because their customer service sucks. While trying to RMA this power supply under it's 1-Year LIMITED warranty, I had to jump through hoops just to get ahold of a representative.

Even when the PSU was working, I would get BSDs due to power shortages on the 5v & 12v rail.

Save yourself the headache and get an Antec

Pros: Great Power supply!!!! Have been running it for a yr now. It was running my Phenom 9950 at 3.3 Ghz (Major power drain!!!) without missing a beat. Upgraded in Feb to a Phenom II 940 and its OC @ 3.3. Its also powering 4 HDs (300 GB 10,000rpm Velociraptor, 1TB WD RE3, 2TB WD Green, 32GB OCZ SLC SSD), 2 ATi 4870s 1GB in Crossfire, 2 22x DVD burners (samsung and LG), 5 case fans (2x250mm, 3x120mm), tuniq tower 120 cpu cooler, 3 CF readers on the MB USB ports, 1 CF reader on the firewire port on my MB, a zune and a USB HD are also attached to the PC.

For an entire year it hasn't missed a beat! No problems with freezing or stalling due to power inconsistencies or any trouble OCing my CPUs or graphics cards.

I do pro photography & videoography so I use my PC quite often for my profession, several times a week my PC is pegged at 100% CPU load (at least 12 hrs at a time!) rendering HD and standard video into DVDs for my clients. Rock solid and stable!

Cons: None!!!

Other Thoughts: I keep track of my voltage and temps with HWMonitor and Speedfan (sidenote: the Phenom II @ 3.3 will run around 52C in a 86 degree ambient room (at 100% load), Easily 40C (at 100% load) if the room is 65F)

I also am an avid gamer so I make full use of my system in its "rec" time, it handles the drain of 2 4870s like a champ!
