Manuel R. 9/7/2014 4:14:05 PM Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Not 760W, maybe 500W This review is from: COUGAR A-Series A760 (CGR B3-760) 760W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Ultra Quiet Power Supply Pros: This psu is very quiet and is well built. Has lengthy cables for big cases. Cons: DOES NOT PROVIDE ADVERTISED POWER. Other Thoughts: My system is not very demanding, as a 750W psu should power it up no problem. However, this psu just caused too many stability issues even when only one of my graphics cards is connected.
