Most Critical Review

Thought it wouldn't happen to me

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
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: The PSU looks like a quality piece, its modular, and its doesn't make a lot of noise

Cons: I get the insufficient power warning with my two 8800GTS (G92) cards so the PSU is pretty much worthless I contacted ANTEC and it they can't help me then I'll just sent it back and never purchase a "quality" piece from them again....this is ridiculous a 1000W PSU not cutting it....

Its RAM and it works

G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5NR

Pros: Its fast and its on my QVL for my ASUS mobo

Cons: DDR5 isnt as cheap as ddr4 yet.

Overall Review: Works great just like the dozens of Gskill ram Ive purchased in the past

not compatible with 169.21 drivers

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
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: 1000W, looks great, good length in cables, tons of modular cables . All around strong PSU

Cons: didn't work with default drivers videodrivers. I installed the drivers that eVGA recommends for psu's with this type of problem. (insufficient power to card) they work like a charm plus it upped my fps on cod4 by 30fps.Antec's customer service needs MUCH improvement.

Overall Review: I'm just glad the psu works now and I don't have to RMA it. so thanks eVGA and thanks for nothing Antec.

Fantastic Heatsink

COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-LB12-GP 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler
COOLER MASTER RR-CCH-LB12-GP 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler

Pros: Easy to install (eVGA 750i F T W) Great performance Q6600(Go Stepping) idled at 34c before install and now it idles @ 25c Overclocked @ 3.4ghz it idles at 32 and underload it runs 46c for the price you can't beat this heatsink.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: fantastic buy....to bad my Antec True Power Quattro 1000w PSU worked when I got it... my system would have been complete so now I'm stuck with my 750w till antec will do something about it

Good Purchase

Cooler Master COSMOS 1000 RC-1000-KSN1-GP Black/ Silver Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master COSMOS 1000 RC-1000-KSN1-GP Black/ Silver Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case is designed great. It has tons of room, its sturdy, good cable management, nice accessories, it is also very quite.

Cons: The factory fans are cheap and don't cool very well. I swapped out the fans that came in my antec 900 case and now everything is running cool as it did in my antec case. My OC'ed Q6600 ran @35 degrees at idle with the factory fans, with my antec fans it idles at 26 degrees. Also my graphics cards are running much cooler with the antec fans....

Overall Review: I would also budget an extra 40 dollars for purchase of fans if you are going to get this case.(or deal with high temps)
