POWMAX Assassin PSAS-RD 500 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: it was free with rebate

Cons: after about 2 months it just up and died on me. dosn't floe air at all actually heated up my box. did not think it was even worth the rma so i bought a new one for alot more no problems with the new one yet. oh yea while it was working i would have to unplug the main 24 pin power plug every time i turned it off. anoying al h3ll.

Overall Review: i will never make this mistake again from now on it's thermaltake or coolmax. do not bother with this it's nothing but problems.

Pros: It provides power to your components. It looks pretty sweet.

Cons: Do NOT buy this power supply. I thought I'd go cheap because I thought power supplies don't matter much. Oh, was I ever wrong. It took me days to figure out what was wrong with my computer, because it tested out okay... But the thing only works about 1/10 times. It's seriously the most annoying thing I've ever dealt with. Every time I want to cold-boot the system, I have to unplug and re-plug in the main 24-pin connector at least several times. It is SO frustrating. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY this piece of junk. Spend the extra few dollars and get something that will last you a while.

Overall Review: The PSU is so cheap that I deemed it wasn't worth spending the shipping cost to RMA it and get another piece of junk that could quite possibly fry my PC. Buyers beware!

Pros: Powers my computer very well, looks cool

Cons: Lots of bad reviews

Overall Review: I have 4 80mm fans in my tower so it runs very cool 35c, so if there is a over heating problem with it, i think that takes care of it. No complaits thus far with it.

Pros: None. This product is doesn't work.

Cons: Bought 2 of these. Installed them in 2 cases. One died the next day. The other died the following day. Don't buy it's a ripoff.

Overall Review: Should of read the product reviews first. Wish I kept the packing for RMA.

Pros: None

Cons: The powersupply burnt out the first day I got it. It seems to have horrible overheating issues and burns itself out quickly. It's not worth it.

Pros: still works

Cons: i still havn't gotten my rebate after about 2 to 3 months

Overall Review: diet Pepsi is better than regular Pepsi and ninjas are still cooler than pirates to me at least

Pros: looks cool, works fine although i have owned it only for 3 days.

Cons: has only one 12 V rail with 17 A ,so effectively, the power is only 204 WATTS for devices like hard/DVD drives, PCIE graphics cards, and new CPUs

Overall Review: If you are looking for a high wattage power supply, its probably cos u wanna run a high end graphics card or have multiple disks, and for these devices its the 12 V rail that counts so go for supplies that have multiple 12 V rails and a high wattage, rather than supplies that have lots of power for 5 volt and 3.3 volt rails.

Pros: With the rebate it was free...

Cons: It claims to be 500W - mine peaked it about 270 before it went to PSU heaven smelling like it took a detour through the BBQ pit!

Overall Review: It did last nearly all day!
