Kawauso 9/2/2010 4:57:06 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Worked great while it lasted Pros: Was great while it lasted, had solid 12v rails, racing stripes make it look like its moving really fast! Cons: After about a year of owning this PSU one of the capacitors inside burst and gave me a great light show with sound effects including sparks, flame, and smoke effects. Woo! Only destroyed it's self in the process, I got darned lucky with that, from the other reviews it seems like others have had this problem and not been so lucky.. Other Thoughts: Antec, you used to be great and reliable, what happened man? If you want a rock solid PSU brand stick with Seasonic, can't go wrong with them. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 8/16/2010 8:39:02 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 2/5arg!!! Pros: Looks good, lots of power and nice cable management. Cons: Well after a couple years the 24pin cable wasn't connecting properly and after jimmying with it and all the sudden my video card started smoking (NOOOO). Now I gotta get a new PSU and GPU. Other Thoughts: I bought this PSU in hopes that I'll be hanging onto it for a long time so I'm really disappointed that this was a first point of failer on my latests build and it took the video card with it.

Psxnitro 8/14/2010 5:46:05 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Electrical Buzzing Pros: Modular Cons: Worked fine for a while, approximately 3 months of 24/7 operation. Started giving a buzzing sound at regular intervals, first I thought it was my mobo, but upon further analysis I realized it was this PSU. I guess I got unlucky this time on my first time I buying a Antec. I'm now moving back to OCZ, since their PSU lasted me at least 3 years, and was still replaced under warranty when it's output was reduced. Going to have to RMA this and just use the refurb as a back up. Other Thoughts: Corei7 930 OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 ASUS P6X58D-E WD Caviar Black WD6402AAEX 640GB SATA 6.0Gb/s XClio Windtunnel Antec TPQ-850 850W Did you find this review helpful?

Raptor007 8/13/2010 3:38:18 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great PSU for bottom-mount cases! Pros: • Plenty of power for any gaming rig. • Great modular design, with only the vital cables hard-wired, and tons of modular cables included for connecting your devices. • Front-to-back cooling, which is better for bottom-mount PSU cases. • Main ATX power connector has enough length for bottom-mount PSU cases; I was even able to route it behind the motherboard tray. • Black color looks perfect in all-black cases, like the Lian-Li PC-P50WB. • Built by a trusted brand name. • Reasonable price for this much power, especially from a well-regarded brand. Cons: • The cables are a bit stiff, which can make them hard to route through small spaces. I did manage to route them all nicely, though. • Both the 4-pin and 8-pin CPU connectors are hard-wired to the PSU, so you're definitely going to have one unused cable. Not a big deal. Other Thoughts: I looked at a lot of PSUs, and is the best one out there for bottom-mount cases. They also come in 1000W and 1200W varieties, in case you're making some kind of crazy triple-SLI rig. Other components in my build: MSI X58A-GD65 Intel Core i7-930 6GB (3x2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1333 Nvidia GeForce GTX465 1GB 2 x Hitachi 1TB 7200rpm SATAII (not in RAID) Gigabyte i-RAM (PCI) + 4GB DDR-400 (swap file drive) Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic (PCI) Lian-Li PC-P50WB case Did you find this review helpful?

GFJ 8/3/2010 10:23:54 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5worked good till it blew up Pros: The packing is nice the case it self looks well made. Cables are well made. It worked with no problems for 1 year, 9 months, 8 days Cons: It blew up out of no wear. The price should be less if they dont last few years. Other Thoughts: If they had feed back when I was buying it and it showed the same problem every one is having then I would have not got this one. Antec seems nice and well made but I have this blow up and my case fans are not working right on top of this and its a antec 900 case. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

CAT_101 7/20/2010 3:30:02 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: good power out put. have had it for over 2 years with only 1 problem see below. Cons: Running a AMD P II 940 OC at 3.7gh (167w) 2 GF 8800GT XXX, pushing 4 screans (Flight sim's), XFi gamer, OCZ 4gb ddr2 6400 4-4-4@2.2v. Was sitting on the desk top and the PSU just went pop. Not sure but I think I over did it. And it was due for a cleaning (blow dust out) Other Thoughts: If your going to be pushing your CPU and vid card's (SLI/crossfire) go big on the PSU. I will be buying the next step up. The true power 1000W, I want the 1200 but can't aford it at this time. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 6/13/2010 11:12:04 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5She quit on me! Pros: Worked (badly) for two years. Cons: This thing just decided to quit one day when I had no money, so I had to wait a month to buy a new psu. I couldn't find my receipt so no warranty for me. >:( Other Thoughts: I got some satisfaction from smashing it with a sledge hammer. I wish I had a video camera on me, I would have put up a video of me smashing it. Do not even bother with this series of psu's it is old and outdated. Antec's TruePower NEW beats it hands down. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Bad Luck 5/8/2010 12:21:31 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 1/5Ruined 2 HDDs, 1 optical drive Pros: It looks nice, fits snugly in an Antec 900 Cons: After hooking everything up in my new Antec 900 case I pressed that case power switch and heard a small pop then a whiff of burning electronics. After that the PSU would not fully power on with anything connected to the modular plugs. After pulling both HDDs and testing them neither drive would spin up or do anything really. I put the optical drive in another case and it would not even open the drive using the front button, all of the electronics were dead. All 3 items were working perfectly fine with my OCZ power supply 2 hours before I installed this Antec PSU. This is terrible quality assurance and their customer support is non-existant. I have yet to receive a response from Antec about this matter after I emailed them Other Thoughts: Choose a real established company with real support. 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

J 5/7/2010 4:51:42 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5What I needed Pros: Ordered this one cause I thought my Thermaltake Black widow was dying and I love the design of the fans on the PSU. The efficiency was another reason I bought this. Goes well with my antec 900 case. Good power delivery Cons: The connectors that are hard wired in. I wish I could find a PSU that only had the 24 pin connector hard wired and everything else modular and the 24 pin length is a little short for the management. Oh well back to the drawing board Other Thoughts: I would buy this again in a heartbeat if this one every died on me 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Steamtrain 5/3/2010 7:51:56 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Powers my computer Pros: Attractive look, plenty of power, removable sleeved cords to reduce clutter. Cons: none that I have run into yet Other Thoughts: Works great for my system and powers everything. The ability to remove useless cords really helps to reduce clutter in the computer. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
