Antec TruePower Quattro TPQ-1000 1000W Continuous Power ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: Plenty of power. Modular cables so that you can use only the ones you need and minimize excess wire management and air flow problems. Average in size (i was under the impression that this unit was larger than normal for some reason). Racing stripes!

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: After reading the reviews here i was very nervous about getting this power supply since i was also purchasing an 8800GTX. Fortunately, for whatever reason, i was able to connect it with the two 8 pin PCI-E power connectors (by bending the extra two pins aside and plugging in the 6). It started right up and i had no issues. System specs: Asus Striker Extreme, Antec TPQ-1000, Intel Q6600 CPU, BFG 8800GTX, 2GB Crucial RAM.

Pros: I bought this because of the name.

Cons: Died with a loud POP today, June 18th 2010. I bought this April 16th 2010.

Overall Review: I work for a company that has used Antec for years and years. The older power supplies were just made better I guess. Lighting, power outages, hot , cold, they always work. Very disappointed in this Antec purchase. Zero eggs if I could have.

Pros: Amazing power delivery, Price combo when paired with a Antec case couldn't be passed up. Pleanty of cables to pick from to match your needs. It looks like all the initial problems and failures have been addressed with the revision update. Ensure you have the newest design power supply! I was a bit skeptical on the purchase because of the early horror stories, but if you dig through the reviews, all the problems are on the first revisions. Those with the newer revisions are having no failures. Power supply looks AMAZING, especially in a bottom mount case like a Antec 900 or 1200! Fan is supper quiet, I can't hear it at all and my case is on my desk 18 inches from my head. And my Antec 900 case runs quiet so it's not being "hidden" by case fans.

Cons: Wish they made the 2 Red PCI-E cables detachable, really can't complain as this Power Supply was obviously designed with duel and possibly Tri SLI in mind. I had no problem with cord length in my Antec 900 and I am a stickler for zip tieing up and making cords look nice. I even ran the power cords out of the way. The cord was the perfect length to hide it from 90% of the window, alow for good air flow and not have cable at the end to loop and tie. I can see how a really tall case like the 1200 or some other case with a bottom mount and higher mounted board could be a problem. However NewEgg sells a power cable extender which actually is wraped in the black stuff and looks pretty nice.

Overall Review: Antec 900 Antec 1000 watt Intel 8500 OC'ed @ 4.0 ghz 8 Gigs OCZ Reaper X 1066 EVGA 780i F.T.W. EVGA 9800+ SSC (OC'ed 14%) Vista 64 Ultimate 1600x1080 Resolution Warhammer Online - 100+ FPS (full settings) World of Warcraft WotLK - 35+ FPS (full settings)

Pros: 1000watts, modular cables, racing strips. See below for the CORRECT way of installing your PSU and a graphics card with two 6 pin connectors. This was referenced off of Antec.com under the Support FAQs tab.

Cons: none

Overall Review: 1. What is the proper way to power my PCI-E video card with two power connectors on the card? You should always use one of Quattro's 8-pin PCI-E connectors even if you only have 6-pin PCI-E connectors on your video card. If your video card has two PCI-E connectors, you should use one 8-Pin PCI-E connector (remove the 2-pin portion) and one 6-Pin PCI-E connector plugged into the red port on your TPQ power supply.

Pros: this was a great psu. I purchased in 2008 and just today 7-11-14 finally gave in and stopped working. sad day indeed.

Cons: none really. handled everything i threw at it. fan was a lil loud at times but was under HEAVY load.

Overall Review: i hope my next psu lasts as long as this one did.

Pros: This power supply gave me solid power for 3 years and 8 months, then it finally died. Just put in for an RMA replacement. It has a 5 year warranty so I'm expecting to get a new one back.

Cons: Finally died, but under warranty. Score.

Overall Review: Antec makes the very best PSUs.

Pros: none

Cons: Don't waist your time with this pile. I've been using this since 5-24-10 and now am getting ready to set up for my second rma. I exchanged this once a week after I installed it and now approx. 2 1/2 months later failed again. I'm ordering corsair 1000w now. One more con is can't give it zero egg or negative.

Overall Review: If you do break down and decide to just go with this one because you never had a problem with antec psu, order 2 so you have a backup while you wait for rma.

Pros: I loved the modular design and it worked great...for about two weeks. The racing stripe was also kinda cool.

Cons: I had a power outage at my place and so I shut the comp down since I was running on my surge protector. I shut it down and turn off the protector to deal with the breakers and once I turn on the protector, it starts sparking and popping, followed by the horrible ozone smell. Luckily the comp was off when this happened and I don't think my gear was affected but I will soon find out when my CORSAIR PSU gets here as a replacement. I can only pray everything is ok. This is my first time with an Antec PSU and I have to say my last. I had heard some fairly good things about them but this is a joke, I've never had this happen to me before.

Overall Review: You might want to think about another PSU since a frightening amount of ppl have had the same situation as myself with Antec, especially the Quattro series. Consider the risk at least. I'll try to update this to see the final damage report/verdict in case anyone else is in the same situation.
