Pros: TRUE to it's specs. Exceeds its specs. I've been testing this psu since I got it in Febuaray on a dual core Opteron 170 (2.9ghz) and for the past month running it in sli on 2 x 7900GT's w/1.5vmod oc'd 680/940. My sesonic power angle power monitor has recorded this psu pulling peaks of 578 watts running 3dmark06 and has no issues running 500 watts continues while runing cool. I get a PF rating on my monitor of .98-.99 and VoltAmp rating just a few numbers above the wattage pull readings. This psu is powering a dual core 170, 7900GT in sli 1.5vmodded cards, dvd-rw, 2 drives, fan controller, 2x120mm fans, and full blown watercooling using a D5 pump. All while overclocked to the max w/no system crashes even during peaks past 550 watts.
Cons: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Other Thoughts: I purchased this from a neweggs competitor but felt I had to give a good review of it here since I'm always ordering from newegg too.

Just a Power Supply

Pros: Did u ever wonder why some products have hundreds of review and some only have a few? Well guess what... quality generates interest. This is one awesome PSU. Slick smooth design, well fit, all the screws too. Someone said the cables are stiff, heck yeah they are, and you sure don't want em floppin around after you place and route em. The cables are well thought of, I like the cables with 2 of each type of power connect on each one, and 2 additional cables with a floppy power connect on the end.
Talk about rock solid voltage... this baby has it. I loaded up my system and ran the voltage monitor for 2 hours of heavy gaming and it never changed.
The fan is no louder than my stock 350watt psu, and in fact it may actually be a tiny bit quieter, but when the system stays up for hours on end without crashing... who really cares about the difference...
If you're looking for a psu upgrade, this is a strong contender. Check out the specs and the other reviews, then see for you
Cons: Shiny black finish, it's heavy, big fan, it's heavy, long cables, it's heavy, auto voltage switching, and did I mention it's heavy? Oh is this supposed to be Cons ? ooooops..... ;)
Other Thoughts: Alright already, stop reading review and go buy this thing, the only way you're really gonna know is to see for yourself.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Owned this PSU since 3/23/06.
First PSU I experienced with modular cables and now all future PSU's will have the same. Very well designed modular cables and had no problems at all with lengths.
Handled SLI when I tried it out for a week or so a couple years ago.
Was well within the limits of all the rails when I tested it last a few weeks ago.
Cable storage sleeve is a nice plus.
Cons: Turned off my computer last night and it wouldn't even POST this morning. I had a spare PSU to test and it booted up fine.
Warranty is for 3 years. Mine was 3 years and 6.5 months old when it broke.
I think the fan broke. I did NOT have fire works like others experienced.
Would have given it 5 eggs had it lasted for another couple of years.
Other Thoughts: I am going to be building a new computer and I may buy another one of these for the old Athlon 64 X2 3800+system to replace the one that broke. I need to shop around first.
Price is pretty much half of what it was when I originally bought it so it's now a bargain but was mid-high end when I first bought it.

Terrible Power Supply

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Lots of cables. Great layout. The power cables for the video card have a red color, so you immediately know where it goes.
Cons: The first one I ordered died within a few weeks. Made a large noise and sparks flew when it did. My replacement has been slowly dying for a few weeks, making large whining noises, and know it won't boot up my computer at all.
Other Thoughts: Avoid this power supply at all costs! Don't be fooled by the cheap cost of this power supply.
