Pros: - Does power supply things... AKA supplying clean power to all your components. - Hybrid fan mode keeps it nice and quiet under light load, and even when it picks up and needs the fan for cooling, it's basically silent. Your GPU or CPU fan will easily be louder at idle than this PSU at full speed. - Plenty of cables in a nice velcro bag. Cables and cable clips feel nice and sturdy.

Cons: - Tiny amount of coil whine if you put your ear right up to the unit. It's very faint, but it is there. If you're sensitive to very faint high pitched noises, skip this one.

Overall Review: Would recommend, would buy again. I bought this when it was on sale and slightly less expensive than an equivalent Corsair or Seasonic unit and it's been rock solid.

Pros: Very well built. Modular design is top notch. Plenty of power Quiet, even when under load

Cons: Whines a little when stressed Connectors can be somewhat fragile

Overall Review: I'm very impressed with this PSU so far. I have to be pushing it pretty hard... Running a Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra case with 8 fans in it, an aftermarket CPU cooler, and 2 7970 GHz editions. Not to mention on an EATX motherboard that draws quite a lot of power... And this thing is as solid as a rock. The SATA power connector on one of mine actually snapped off when I was maneuvering around my SSD. Quite scary as I feared the SSD may have been damaged, but looks like I got lucky with that one. Wasn't putting very much pressure on it when it broke either. Not sure if it was just a faulty one or if they are fragile to begin with, but just something to watch for.

Pros: - UEFI bios is very nice looking and very functional. - Dual PCI-e x16 - Best crossfire / SLI solution around - Very solid and well built - Dual NIC's - Debug LED is good for troubleshooting - On-board power switch for testing

Cons: - stock bios cannot see most pci-e 3.0 cards - PC speaker is obnoxiously irritating (nitpicking)

Overall Review: Could not get video cards to display anything on first boot. Debug LED gave me the direction to go in, but the manual was so poorly written / translated that it almost didn't help at all. If you're having trouble getting video from your PCI-e 3.0 cards, boot into windows using integrated graphics, and get the latest BIOS update. Most of the time, this will make the board be able to see the cards and boot normally off them. Also, the PC speaker sounds like an obnoxious crow. it's nice to hear the post beep, but why does it need to sound to piercing? I'm nitpicking now... Overall the board is great. Lost one egg for bios issues and making me think the video cards were dead. Final build: Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 Intel Core i7 3770k @3.5GHz Corsair Dominator Platinum 32 GB Corsair HX850 850W PSU 2x Gigabyte 7970 GHz Edition Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD Seagate Barracuda 3 TB 7200 RPM HDD Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra Case

Pros: - Very fast - Very quiet when idle - Fans only need to kick up under heavy load - Stock overclock - Handles everything you can throw at it - HDMI out for audio and video works nicely - Faster then 690's when crossfired

Cons: - Very loud when maxed out - Drivers for HDMI can be a little picky at times; nothing major.

Overall Review: I bought two of these cards for a crossfire setup and I must say I'm not disappointed. My FPS are well above 60 in everything. Benchmarking with Furmark in 1920x1080 was over 100 FPS average. They can even handle the fabled Crysis 3 on absolute maximum settings at around 40 FPS average, maxing out around 70, depending on the section of the game. Ran into an issue on the first boot though, motherboard would not recognise cards and output nothing. Ended up being a board issue, requiring a BIOS update, so no need to lose an egg for that. And sure, the thing is loud. But I like that! Lets me know my system is working as it should, rather than being lazy. Buy two of these things! Worth every penny to be able to best 690's for cheaper.
