Apevia's Tri-Fan Power Supplies combines best cooling, quiet and high performance in a stylish design. It features 520W of power housed in lightweight aluminum chassis and supports Pentium 4 and AMD CPUs. Three built-in 80mm Blue UV Reactive Fans deliver best cooling and a Fan Speed Adjustor controls the fan speed and reduces the noise level while maximizing your cooling capacity. The power supply comes with loads of phenomenal features, including the three blue UV reactive fans, UV reactive plug, switch, adapters and UV reactive wire sleeves. Short Circuit/ Under Voltage/ Over Voltage/ Over Current/ Over Power Protection functions ensure and stabilize your system. Made of the highest quality components and materials, Apevia has undergone the most rigorous testing in the industry to offer the best cooling, stability, reliability and durability for today's heavily loaded PCs. (This power supply should be installed upside down to achieve better cooling and also let the LED lights shine thru the whole case.)
Pros: This is a good quality, stable unit which delivers plenty of power. I am a system builder who does mostly gaming PC's and I have used 46 of these units without issues. I have had only one come back dead and the owner admitted to running his rig with the fan controller on low speed while gaming. DUUHH!!
Cons: People who don't know what they are talking about who trash talk this PSU. It conforms to the ATX form factor and does NOT install upside down. If you are replacing the cheap PSU that you received in a case combo then it is likely the cheap case's mount that was to blame. I have seen this many times. Yes the unit mounts with one fan facing up. This is an intake fan and is meant to exhaust the hot air that builds up in the top of a PC's case. I wish that there was a switch to turn off the lights.
Overall Review: I first discovered this supply when I was looking for a unit with a fairly high sustained amperage rating on the 12v rail,(26 amps in this case) for builds with single power hungry ATI video cards and I have never regretted my decision to try it. I would not recommend this unit for two high end ATI's in crossfire. For that go with something like an Enermax Noisetaker/Liberty or OCZ Gamestream.
