Quiet and Powerful

CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Handles 3 hard drives with ease and barely makes a sound. Custom built PC could be demanding on a lesser unit. Nice looks, packaging and cables.

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

Low Quality

Thermaltake NiC F4 (CLP0606) 120mm CPU Cooler
Thermaltake NiC F4 (CLP0606) 120mm CPU Cooler

Pros: Price

Cons: Noise gets worse over time, even after cleaning the coils and fans several times. This thing is huge. Fans and fan clips are super cheap. Noise got so bad I replaced it after a few months.

Defective Board

ASUS P8B75-M/CSM LGA 1155 Intel B75 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P8B75-M/CSM LGA 1155 Intel B75 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: None

Cons: This board was defective. I called ASUS customer service and they walked me thru a number of tests, which I already did before calling them as I have 6 ASUS boards running in my home and I know what I am doing. The ASUS rep admitted they have had problems with this board and told me to return it for a replacement. I paid $15 of my own money to return it. Then the POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE group kicks in and tells me to pay $180 for the repair. I only paid $70 for the board. Without my knowledge, they are sending the board back to me. They have kept the board over 3 weeks and I am now outside of the return window to return the board. ASUS dispute people continue to hide behind email and won’t let me talk to anyone. The board is BAD and the customer service is WORSE.

Overall Review: If ASUS was not going to honor their original commitment, fine, just let me know if enough time so I could still return the board.

Dead after 2 weeks

CORSAIR RM Series RM1000 1000 W ATX12V v2.4 and EPS 2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR RM Series RM1000 1000 W ATX12V v2.4 and EPS 2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Worked great for 2 weeks, then died.

Cons: Listen to the reviews! Just like the reviews said, mine died after two weeks. Even though this unit had many reviews of DOA or dying after a few days, I bought it anyway as the price was good and I have had good experience in the past with Corsair products. My fault, as I have several computer builds in my home, I waited a couple of months before installing it. Now it is out of Newegg's return window. As soon as I replaced it with a year old Corsair HX750 that I was saving for another build, this computer was back up an running in a matter of minutes.

Pros: Very Good Quality

Cons: Can't work the clasp and no instructions. Only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. Wife loves it other than that.
