PC Power and Cooling PPCT860 860 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7

Pros: Very strong voltages across the grid. PC Power & Cooling sends a test sheet with their power supplies to show it was tested. Nice heavy duty PS. non-modular design means less resistance through the wires, meaning a longer and stronger life for your computer.

Cons: Since day one, when playing a full screen computer game, the power supply emits a high pitched whine during certain cut scenes, and especially during windows Vista aero assessment. Issued an RMA.

Spare wires can be a pain as well, but an empty 3.5 inch bay can usually double as wire storage.

Overall Review: Upon reading up on the problem, I found the whining noise is due to dying capacitors inside the power supply. If the issue is ignored, the power supply will eventually fail, taking every other componet with it. Ive always bought PC P&C power supplies, so one dud isnt going to dissuade me from buying one again. As always newegg came through with the RMA in record time.

Pros: Seemed to be perfect, until it died with no warning.

Cons: Tech says its probably a capacitor?? They seem to be very aware of this problem!!!! Waiting to see if it killed my Asus Mobo and ATI 4890 video Card, or any other parts. Power Supply definitley let the smoke out !!

Overall Review: Had heard nothing but good things about PC Power & Cooling, until this and a little research indicated other wise. RMA Process a little labored and slow. Now on to the repair and we will see what they are made of. In the mean time I will have to get a new power supply, (probably not one of their's), because this might take a while longer than I thought.
