been good
- Pros: I do not have the modular version but it the same 550w and it has been running for 7months without any problems
- Cons: some of the connectors are little stiff the fist time to align all the pins
- Other Thoughts: I would buy again
It works, but....
- Pros: It provides stable power for my Phenom X4 9950/ Radeon 4850 Crossfire system....
- Cons: Had several fan related problems. First, the internal bundle of wires was making contact with the fan. This created a rather obnoxious noise. I should have returned it at this point but I figured I could easily fix it myself, which I did. Second, after a few weeks of use the fan began making making a rattling noise which increased during heavy use. I replaced the internal fan myself and the power supply has been problem free ever since.
- Other Thoughts: Throughout all of it's problems it always provided stable power. Tighter quality control on BFG's part could have prevented these troubles.
I wanted to like this PSU ...
- Pros: Had some favorable internet reviews which led me to try the BFG MX550 out. BFG Customer Service was responsive to my calls.
- Cons: First unit received died Two Minutes after installation. Called BFG Customer Service and described the problem and they said to RMA. Great turnaround by Newegg, received the second PSU within one week after shipping back the original. The second unit had excessories that were not with the original unit (velcro straps & tie wraps, hmmm was the original an RMA?) but when I took it out of the box and it's bubble wrap bag, two screws fell out. Re installed the screws and installed into a new build and ..... Nothing! Customer Service at BFG said to RMA again, but this time I went for a Refund and a different brand of PSU. Again Great Service from Newegg, Refund has been received and a new Working 550W PSU from __Z has been installed and is running great.
- Other Thoughts: Like the title says, I wanted to like this PSU, but after being burned with two DOA's in a row, I went with another brand. However, even with the problems, I have to say Thank You Newegg for your Great Customer Service and fast turnaround on the RMA's and Refund!
