PC Power and Cooling S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7

Pros: This PSU has one enormous 12v rail, and the cabling is not modular. (See other thoughts) The voltages are extremely tight under any load situation. The noise produced by this PSU is very tolerable, and it is almost silent under normal (non-gaming) loads.

Cons: This PSU is longer than others in its class. My old Lian Li case had a blowhole that was partially covered by this beast. I have since bought a NZXT Adamas, which houses this PSU very nicely. Visit pcpowercooling.com for detailed specifications on this, and all other power supplies they make.

Overall Review: If you do your research on modular cable, and multiple 12v rails, you will find that they are not that great. Underutilized rails "trap" power, while others (like the one supplying graphics cards) are over taxed. Modular cables just provide another place for a bad connection to occur. This PSU is great for anyone that wants to run a good gaming rig. My configuration is as follows. C2D 6400 OC'd, 2GB corsair mem, 8800 GTS 640MB, ASUS P5B-E,

Pros: The wires are all sleeved, which makes organization very easy. They also claim greater airflow because of it, which will keep your case cooler. This unit comes with a plethora of wires, giving you a connection for anything you install (except for dual floppy drives ... but who does that??). It has both a 4-pin and 8-pin cpu power connector, which will fit any motherboard. As it claims, its SLI certified, and has two dedicated PCI-E power lines. The PSU is also extremely stable - a friend of mine lived in an old Boston apartment with three other guys, and he had the only PC P&C. When the power would drop off or surge, every other computer but his would shutdown. This supply is *very* stable. Its also 610W, so even with SLI configurations, you should be running smoothly (they suggest 550W). SLI also calls for 38A (I think) on a 12V rail - this supplies 49A. You should have no problems at all. This unit is also extremely quiet, which is a big plus.

Cons: The unit is long, so it took a bit of maneuvering to fit it into my case (actually, I had to remove a top-mounted USB/Firewire assembly, but that's more the case than the PSU). As I said before, there's only one floppy drive power line, so if you're planning on using two you'll have to look for another PSU. Also a warning, the main motherboard connector is a 24-pin, as opposed to 20+4, so you'll have trouble with older motherboards (I think all newer ones have 24 pin connections ...). For new builds though, this shouldn't be a problem, just keep it in mind.

Overall Review: Obviously time will tell as to the stability of this power supply, but its been running perfectly so far and from the stories I've heard, I expect it'll run smoothly for years. Oh, and the black sleeves went along well with my motherboard's data cables ;) Thermaltake Tsunami | Intel E6600 | GeCube X1950XTX | EVGA 680i | Corsair XMS2 Dominator 2x1Gb DDR2 800 | PC Power&Cooling Silencer 610W | Logitech G5 & G15 | Western Digital Rapter X 150Gb | 3 x Western Digital Caviar SE16 500Gb

Pros: EXTREMELY quiet. You won't even hear it running! More than enough power as long as you aren't running SLI. The massive single 12v rail makes this one of the most stable PSUs you can buy. It runs VERY cool. The price is not bad either! Tons of connectors for all your needs. PC Power & Cooling makes THE best PSUs available, with few exceptions. Buy it already!

Cons: Not much of a Con, but this PSU is slightly longer than most. Just plan carefully. It partially blocked the top blow hole on my Lian Li PC-65 Plus, but in my new Antec P182 it sits in the bottom, cool and quiet with room to spare. (The blocked fan hole on the Lian-Li made only 1 degree Celsius difference in my idle temps)

Overall Review: I see too many people buying huge PSUs for moderate systems. I used to run an AMD FX-55 and 7900GT on a PC P&C 510w, and this 610w will handle an OC'd Core2Duo and a single 8800GTS with no problem. The only time you need a giant 750w or 1000w is if you are going SLI and water cooled...in other words only the most extreme systems. But in my opinion SLI is a waste of money for a small increase in performance. Just get a single, good GPU. My Sys: Asus P5B Deluxe; 2Gb G.Skill 800 ; Core2Duo e6600 @ 2.8ghz; Geforce 8800GTS; Soundblaster Audigy; WD 250GB; PC P&C 610w; All sitting cool and quiet in an Antec P182.

Overall Review: I doubt anyone is going to actually read this review, but I feel I owe it to this little PSU after so many builds and 11 years of service. I thought it would live forever, but all good things must come to an end. RIP 12/8/2008-8/13/2019

Pros: Nice packaging, good sturdy design. Lots of cable options. High efficiency @ 610 watts mean i get all the watts i paid for. SINGLE 12v+ Rail for EASY setup and more upgrade options- doesn't limit you to x Amps per 12v rail. 5 year warranty.

Cons: price? But you get what you pay for. Would love a company if they shipped like 10 or 20 cheapo plastic zip ties with a 100+ dollar PSU but ehh - if thats the best i can come up with, its all good.

Overall Review: Not Modular. This is not a con nor a pro for me. I do like modular cabling but every unused lead is another bad connection where amps, etc can be lost. Look at all the high end, top $$ PSUs- they don't have modular (and its for this reason).

Pros: It powers everything in my computer. Runs cool. 5 year warranty. Came with a rebate. Feels really sturdy and well built. Good reviews.

Cons: Does not supply one point twenty-one gigawatts. I have no idea how I'm going to make it back to 1985.

Overall Review: System: Q6600, Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L, 4GBCosair DDR2 800, EVGA 8800GT, AC Freezer Pro 92mm, 500GB WD Caviar, PC Power & Cooling 610W, Raidmax Smilodon ATX-612WEB, Vista Ultimate 32bit

Pros: Its as solid like a concrete bunker.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I have a 3870 X2 and a quad core Phenom running on it, take it like champ.

Pros: I bought this in 2007 and it has powered through 3 different builds. Daily gaming. On/off cycling. Overclocking. Currently powering a RTX 2080 4k setup and not even a little hiccup. Amazing.

Cons: Doesn't seem to be in stock anymore.
