CORSAIR Gaming Series GS800 800 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply

Pros: This PSU is so quiet that I have to double check to make sure that it's on. The LEDs aren't too bright. They provide a delicate glow, and the color is selectable between red, white, and blue (you can also turn them off! +!). There are 4 6/8 pin PCI-E outlets, one 8-pin CPU that you can split into 4-pin, and a ton of molex sata plugs. Everything is sheathed so it looks somewhat contained. The logo on the side of the unit is a nice touch.

Cons: WIRES! I knew this wasn't a modular PSU, but good lord what am I going to do with these wires? They're very thick and there are TONS of them everywhere. If you have a mid-sized case, you will have to be very creative in stashing them away. Even with all of the extras bundled with zip ties, I still have a problem getting them all to fit without hitting any fans.

Overall Review: I'm not deducting a point over the wires, because I knew what I was getting into, but it's still pretty difficult to deal with. As far as performance goes, this is powering 2 ATI 6950 cards as well as 7 case fans and a 6 core cpu, and it's doing just fine. I bought this because it was listed as one of the few reasonably priced PSUs that can power my video cards without problems, and it certainly hasn't let me down.

Pros: None

Cons: Item was totally dead out of the box. Pluged into ac with no load it wouldn't even power up. Hopefully the replacement will be better.

Overall Review: I've had two previous Corsair power supplies without so much as a single problem. I was totally surprised to find this one totally dead in the water. No lights, no fan, no power, no noise, no nothin. Certainly put a delay in my build.
