Most Critical Review

Burned out in < 6 hours, but looks cool...?

RAIDMAX Cobra series RX-600AE-B 600 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Power Supply

Pros: Packaging was impressive. Extremely so. Actually, while unboxing I remarked that it seemed over-packed for the price (and maybe they should've spent some of that on components, since this wasn't a very expensive PSU). When it worked, it was pretty cool. This price range for a 80 Plus Gold fully modular? Yes please!

Cons: Died in the first 6 hours of use. I had it hooked up to an i3 6100 running almost at idle, and an HD 7870 (also just idling)... and the PSU burned out with the most disgustingly bad smell. Fortunately, none of the other components were damaged, but that is just unacceptable quality control, imo. I'd had one previously bad experience with a Raidmax several years ago, but was giving them a second chance. Not impressed.

Overall Review: 0/10 would recommend
