RAIDMAX Vampire RX-1000GH Continuous 1000 watts ATX12V / EPS12V SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular PFC Power Supply Intel Haswell Platform Ready

Pros: -Semi-Modular -Color scheme

Cons: Started failing under heavy load a few months ago, tried cleaning and it seemed to look up for a little bit. Power cuts out on me when a heavy load kicks in, especially a heavy graphics load. Attempting to contact Raidmax, but got no response from their site.

Overall Review: Due to a failure in customer service I would not purchase again. If I'd at least gotten a response and maybe some suggestions to try. I can't tell if there's something wrong with the unit as in failing, or if it's got an overly aggressive power cut off.

Pros: Worked for 2 months??

Cons: Didn't work after 2 months..

Overall Review: Not recommended unless you want to waste time. 2 eggs for not breaking anything else in my system.

Pros: I built a New Gamming PC and needed over 900W PS, This 1000W is fantastic, it's mostly modular, the only connection that it has coming out of it by default is the 20/24 pin motherboard, the 4/8 pin motherboard, and finally 2 of the 6/8 pin for graphics cards.

Cons: Raidmax rebates are awful. I sent them everything including the invoice and the denied my rebate and said it was the wrong invoice... how many versions of an invoice are there? Also unlike other manufacturers the rebate site they send you to is in now way related to Raidmax.

Overall Review: So far none.

Pros: - It works... it does what its meant to do. - I really like the clean white look - It hasn't fried my system yet so im vary happy - I also like the Super flipin thick power cable it comes with. I dk if it makes a difference as im probably not using all 700 Watts yet but still its nice.

Cons: - Not really much to say that was bad - Ya it was a little hard to bend the cables but its not like im swapping components every day and doing cable management all day long.

Pros: This is the second RAIDMAX psu I have purchased this year for a new gaming build. I picked the RAIDMAX Vampire RX-800GH as I was very please with the performance of its bigger brother, the RX-1000GH, which I used in an overclocking build. I could have gone cheaper, but cheap power supplies usually give you cheap results. I used to build electronic kits and projects in the past and know there is a big difference in the quality of parts out there on the world market. Raidmax seems to have found a good balance in providing quality products that are not out of reach price wise for builders and hobbyist. The RX-800GH not only provides good clean power, but is also very efficient. Efficiency means less loss, bigger gains, all from this 80 plus gold certified PSU. This has plenty of power to go around! I found the modular design to very easy to work with. Why have a bunch of wires attached you don't need and will have to hide somewhere. And if you do need additional power, RAIDMAX supplies a mixture of all the power cables you'll ever need. All of the connections are very tight and solid with the pins well set in the connectors. Even the power cord is beefed up (make you feel like your plugging in a welder). The basic black and white housing color (with bat) may not suit some, but I feel RAIDMAX was wise in keeping things simple. The paint looks very professional and will likely hold up for the life of the psu. I've been running the RX-800GH for 3 months now and am very pleased.

Cons: None so far. I look forward to seeing the life of this PSU

Pros: The cables are semi modular making it easy to keep things neat and cool. It works great so far, and with rebates I got it for 49.99 on black Friday. (after over 6 months waiting for the rebate and having to go through a bunch of stuff) I couldn't pass up the price, but knew I was taking a chance on this with the information I was able to locate online. I am not regretting buying this PSU at all. Edited update. I have owned this PSU for over a year now and the thing is still going strong without any issues. The quality has suited my needs, but I am only powering a 4790k with a 750ti in the machine that is using this PSU for now. It is overkill, but I couldn't pass up the 49.99 offer.

Cons: I was a bit underwhelmed with RAIDMAX PSU reviews that I found on the internet, however, so far the PSU they shipped me has been working great with no issues thus far. The 24 pin connector is very hard to connect. The little snapping mechanism doesn't quite snap down, but it's working fine otherwise. Edited update after one year of ownership- one thing I would like to mention in the cons section is regarding the raidmax rebate time frame. The rebate took a very long time to make it to my mailbox, and that was only because I had to go out of my way and spend time writing emails and in live chat sessions to get it. I had asus, NZXT, and cooler master rebates all filed at the exact same time as the raidmax rebate for this power supply. All of the other companies sent their rebates in the mail within 3 months or sooner, but raidmax was well over 6 months. I had to write them numerous times and get in contact with newegg before I received it. I would not buy any raidmax product again based on my experience with their rebates, but that has nothing to do with the performance of the actual power supply. I filed everything exactly as it was supposed to be filed, but I got the feeling they just try to wait until you complain before they actually send you the rebate they offer.

Overall Review: just want to say this PSU has caused me no issues for over 2 years on a 4790k build.

Pros: I've had mine about a year now and it runs flawlessly. I originally purchased it to run a 6 card mining rig (RX 560's). Crypto market has been in the mud so long that I ended up selling my gpu's and transferred the PSU to the desktop I built. Again, still running great. I purchased mine for $80 or $90 bucks back in Feb of 2018 and I ran the GPU rig 24/7 for about 8 months so... It is a solid product in my opinion.

Cons: None that I have encountered personally.

Overall Review: I would recommend this PSU to anyone. I will definitely keep the Raid Vampire series PSU in mind in the future should I find myself needing another power supply.

Pros: -Cheap -Plenty of cabling options -Worked great without any power lag on a r9-390x CF setup

Cons: -Supplied power cord failed catastrophically (Power cable running from UPS, UPS plugged into surge protector) Cord became hot to the touch and started melting before I yanked it out of the UPS. This could have been due to heavy usage as I was spiking up to 750 watts at full load -Occasional boot up issues where after a power off cycle would usually take 2 or 3 tries to get the computer to boot. (I.e case fans would start spinning but no post) Unplugging (new heavier duty cord) from the PSU and waiting a bit seems to have fixed this for a while. -When it died it went big. Frying the mainboard, cpu, 2 sticks of ram, 1 r9-390x and 2 out of 5 HDD's. on the plus side I was using my computer when it started smoking and throwing sparks so I still have a home =/

Overall Review: -I wish I could say I unduly stressed the PSU but I had it connected to an APC 1500VA Smart-UPS which delivered "clean" electricity to it consistently. (UPS pretty much a necessity out in the country, plenty of brown outs and power outages due to the weather) -For Raidmax, the postmortem autopsy had 1 of the two larger capacitors blown and 2 other smaller black ones blown. also, plenty of melted wires and plastic. Also, even if you have to raise the price by 2 bucks or so, include a beefier power cord. -Definitely not recommended.
