Cougar GX1050 PSU

COUGAR COUGAR-GX1050 1050 W Power Supply
COUGAR COUGAR-GX1050 1050 W Power Supply

Pros: I've purchased many power supplies over my time and I have had absolute excellent results with the Cougar GX1050. I run dual 6 series GPU's in SLI/Crossfire configuration, two 2TB 6Gb/s HDDs two 128GB SSD's, Audio card, AMD Crosshair V mobo along with other power drawing accessoris and have yet to experience any issues. Plugs in without issue, cables plenty long enough to ensure excellent cable managment from front top to rear bottom. I wish I would have purchased this PSU before spending $225 on so called top reviewed power supply November 2011 I highly recommend this PSU over some of the other most highly touted power supplies. Pushing it to the limits it stays cool and delivers quiet wattage.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I just purchased onother Cougar 1050 watt Gx1050 model for a Intel build. If this runs as smoothly and delivers as my current Cougar PSU I'll never buy anything except this Cougar PSU. Great for SLI/Crossfire.

Pros: Luckily my 680 came with backplate attached.

Cons: They should come preinstalled on all 680's so you don't have to spend $25.00 more on a card that is already pushing $600.

Overall Review: I feel bad for previous poster. It's only a steel plate.

Pros: paid $140 and price dropped to 85 within 2 weeks after receipt. I guess we have to take the fortunate with the not so fortunate. It has happened so many times in my life where I will place something on my wishlist and wait a week, then the price drops and I save $78.00 for forgetting to purchase it when I was needing it, I remember it and find it $78 cheaper when I buy it, lucky me. On the flipside I buy ssd mem drive fro $248 and a week later I see the price drop to $159 for the exact same product. This happens all the time to me and everyone else. Just the luck of the timing.

Cons: ,none

Overall Review: , I whish I had considered a modular, although I do need most of the cables anyway, so no big deal.

Pros: Thanks to newegg my first cpu was overheating regardless of trying several coolers/heatsinks. I finally RMA and the replacement has not had this issue. This cpu is the best I've ever had and so far has handled the kitchen sink along with everything else I've thrown at it. Hopefull this 1099T will last me for several years, or at least until AMD gets the bugs worked out of the Zambezie/Bulldozer. Thanks Newegg for the great customer service on the RMA. Gorwell1984

Cons: knock on wood, none with the replacement

Overall Review: Good CPU
