Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 550 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply with Three 12V Rails

Pros: Good clean power, what more can you ask for? Plenty of connectors, good cable length. Powers my new GeForce 8800GTX without a problem as well as 4 HDDs, optical drives, and a whole case full of gear without any trouble.

Cons: None

Overall Review: As always, newegg rocks.

Pros: No problems. Voltages very stable. Very quiet. I'm using Fan Only connectors to let PS control case fan speed, and it's working quite well. 5 yr warranty.

Cons: As others have mentioned, the wires are pretty long.

Overall Review: The quietest PS I've ever had.

Pros: Got this for a 9800GT and it did the job. It provides a much more stable voltage than my old PSU. I was actually shocked to find out that my old PSU was holding me back from OCing my processor more. It's got plenty of hook ups for just about anything you want. Three 12 volt rails at 18amps each, for a combined 42amps. The cables are sleeved so they are easier to work with and they don't snag on anything else in the case.

Cons: Right when I turned my PC on with this thing plugged in I heard the worst noise. A loud clicking that was not acceptable. I fiddled with it and found that the fan was knocking against the grate some. Slightly bending it seems to fix it and now it's very quiet. My old PSU was louder, however it seems like it might be something I'd have to do if I leave my PC off for long periods of time. My PC runs 24/7 so that's not to big a problem for me. The web of connectors is tremendous. I stuck them in an empty 5.25 slot so they'd be out of the way. Really at this point modular is the way to go. There's to many to leave hanging so if you don't have a empty slot to stick them in you'll need to come up with a solution to get them out of the way.

Overall Review: I was really nervous setting this up. A bad PSU can fry your other hardware, so I was really worried. Luckily that didn't happen. I got it on sale for only thirty and its clearly worth much more than that. I'm still on fence though because it's the long term that matters. Like I said this is a 24/7 box and I'm just worried that it might take the whole system with it if I'm away.

Pros: Has Active PFC, really superb. All the rails are giving great voltages, nearly non-existant ripple. Has two molex feeds for fans, whereby the ps controls the speed of two fans based on its own internal temperature sensor, and this works really well, I have it on my front and side case fans. Has a motherboard feed so you can monitor the ps's fan speed too.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I was skeptical about the ps's two fan speed controller connections, but it's working great. Spins both my front 120mm fan and side 80mm case fans nice and slow in normal use and then I can see them speed up when I'm in a game. I've always before used a front panel fan speed controller, but not needed in this build. Nice touch. Use a power calculator when you're doing your build, and then go above it whatever percentage you feel comfortable with. Don't assume you need a gigawatt of power. Especially like, if you're going with a Wolfdale processor, you're probably going to need much less power than on your previous build. My system with this ps - e7200 Wolfdale C2D cpu, GA-EP35-D3SL mb, 4GB OCZ 800MHz Reaper memories, ECS 9600GT vid card, Seagate HD, Liteon DVD/CD.

Pros: Ample power. Fairly quiet. Lots of connectors. Inexpensive.

Cons: No modular cables. These are nice to have to help keep the inside of the case uncluttered. However, I knew this p/s did not have this feature during buying, so I am not rating the p/s lower because of this fact.

Overall Review: I've been running this unit in an Antec SX1040 for about 4 months and it's been solid. No complaints.

Pros: Quiet. Fan speed sensor. Case fan control. Antec quality.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Spend a little more and get a quality supply, you will be glad you did. Fan spins at 800 RPM idle and 1300 RPM full load Quad core@3GHz and 8800GTS.

Pros: Lots of connectors, lots of stable power, runs cool for its capacity.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Some people have been saying that the cables are too long but in my mid-tower case they are just right, or could have been a little bit longer. :)

Pros: Done by seasonic, not too loud, pretty cheap, decently quiet.

Cons: 8pin atx wire only 17 inches, barely reaches the plug on my antec case (u'd think if they designed it.. they'd know to make it longer), started making a ticking sound, returning for vx550 in about a month

Overall Review: I would have been decently happy with this power supply if it hadn't started to make a wierd sound.
