Most Favorable Review

Without a doubt the nicest PSU I have ever used

PC Power & Cooling Silencer MKIII Series 1200 Watt 80+ Platinum Semi-Modular Active PFC Industrial Grade ATX PC Power Supply (PPCMK3S1200)
PC Power & Cooling Silencer MKIII Series 1200 Watt 80+ Platinum Semi-Modular Active PFC Industrial Grade ATX PC Power Supply (PPCMK3S1200)

Pros: variable modes of operation, flat cabling, more than adequate amount of cables, quiet

Cons: maybe price, but I am not willing to take off for that, 7 year warranty!.

Overall Review: If you run a 3 card SLI, you'll need another set of cables. 2 PCI-e integral to the wiring bundle of the unit, 2 more PCI-e 6+2 cables in the accessory bag. Not really a con....I don't kow many who run THREE vid cards!

Most Critical Review

not thrilled

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-4995-KR 6GB SC+ GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-4995-KR 6GB SC+ GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card

Pros: quiet card

Cons: doesn't seem to work...possibly DOA

Overall Review: replaced my EVGA 560 with this unit. The 560 was working, but getting old, and I wanted to ramp up my graphics a bit. I replaced the card with the 980ti, and the problems ensued. First, I noticed little blue dots here and there on the Windows7 logo screen, then startup proceeds to a black screen with blue dots and stripes....a LONG wait, and then, the Blue Screen of Death. So, I reset the CMOS, updated the BIOS on the MB to the newest (I have the Asus Maximus Hero VII), still no luck, same issues. Replaced the old card, and bingo, it still works in the same slot, with the same cables. Trying to get a hold of EVGA, but due to work constraints, I don't have hours to sit on hold. Asus Maximus Hero VII i7-4790k proc 32gb ddr3, 1600 Scandisk ExtremePro SSD NH-D15 cooler 1200W PSU One other thing....LONG card....make sure you have the room!
