Good PSU but cables were an issue

Seasonic FOCUS GX-750, 750W 80+ Gold, Full- Modular, ATX Form Factor, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 10 Year Warranty, Nvidia RTX 30/40 Super, AMD GPU Compatible, Ref# SSR-750FX
Seasonic FOCUS GX-750, 750W 80+ Gold, Full- Modular, ATX Form Factor, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 10 Year Warranty, Nvidia RTX 30/40 Super, AMD GPU Compatible, Ref# SSR-750FX

Pros: Modular design is nice so only the cables needed are installed. There seems to be plenty of power to spare for my older evga gtx 580 graphics card which the previous Thermaltake 650 watt PSU could not seem to handle.

Cons: The cables were extremely difficult to manage in a mid sized tower. On the connection to one of my two SATA drives the cable was so stiff the tension actually cracked one of the connector housings exposing the metal contacts making it unusable. Luckily the hard drive connector was not damaged and I could get buy with one SATA power cable. Although if I need to add a optical drive I may be out of luck.

Overall Review: The PSU fan is not as quiet as I'd hoped. This PC also runs a distributed computing project (Fold@Home) that is resource intensive. This means the fan is going to be spinning at a higher speed more often than not. If the F@H client is not running and the system is sitting idle the PSU fan is very quiet. The option to allow fan less mode if the system is cool enough makes it even quieter. For normal use I'd say the PSU is very quiet and at high speed the noise isn't enough to bother you when gaming. In my situation the fan is at high speed most of the time so it is noticeable. I would still recommend this PSU to a friend with a warning to use extra caution when routing the cables. On the plus side the cables are modular so you can easily replace one if it breaks.

Works great in older PC

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB Video Card, GV-N105TOC-4GL
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB Video Card, GV-N105TOC-4GL

Pros: No need for huge PSU. Good performance with OC. Low Profile bracket included.

Overall Review: Replaced the older power hungry GPU I had installed in my HP H8-1234. I run a GPU intensive program that generated a lot of heat and noise. This card gives a lot more performance with less power draw, less heat and less noise.

I like it.

Pros: Good price, ease of install, good range

Cons: I don't care for the Logitech Setpoint software but you really don't need it.

Overall Review: Nothing fancy needed. I only sit about 8 feet away from the PC but it all works as advertised.

Works as expected

Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT12864AA667

Pros: The price. Easy install

Cons: None

Overall Review: It worked with My ASRock 4CoreDual-SATA2 R2.0. This is the fastest memory my board can support. It supports DDR or DDR2. I pulled my old DDR 400 out and put this in. I only noticed a slight improvement in performance but I didn't really expect much anyway.

My wife loved it.

Pros: Compact with a great zoom and good sized display.

Cons: Pictures are noisy in low light like in restaurants. The battery life is OK but if the flash is being used it goes quick. Would have been nice to come with a carrying case.

Overall Review: This was purchased as a gift for my wife because I got very tired of trying to clean up the pictures she took with her cell phone. She loved the color and the pictures are 100 times better than the ones taken with her Gleam. Plus it fits in her purse. Come on America use that cell phone to make calls and buy a camera to take pictures.

works

Pros: Good price & good quality.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I like OCZ products. I dealt with there customer support folks on a rebate issue with some other memory I owned and they were very helpful. I am a loyal OCZ customer cause good customer service is very rare these days.

Sold used as new

I would not recommend this seller. I did attempt to contact them about correcting this issue and would have given them an extra egg if they tried but they just stopped responding. The drives (1 TB Western Digital Raptors) were sold as new but were over 7 years old and well out of the three year warranty in the product description.
