Rosewill Green Series RG430-2 430W Continuous @40°C, 80 PLUS Certified, ATX12V v2.3 & EPS12V v2.91,Active PFC "Compatible with Core i7, i5" Power Supply

Pros: Quiet, mesh-wrapped cables, green, hilarious typo on box ("80PLUS Certificated").

Cons: None observed.

Overall Review: It's a power supply. Really, the only reason I'm writing this review is because "80PLUS Certificated" is hilarious.

Pros: I used my Apevia PSU Tester to check the P-4, 3.3, 12, PCI E and 5 volt values were. Each one was dead on. It did not fluctuate at all during testing and the P.G. signal of 350ms was the same value as listed on newegg.

Cons: No cons I can state, unless you would want the cost to be lower.

Overall Review: To do your own builds or builds to sell you need parts that work well. PSU's are a important part of the system. Knowing that you have a stable unit from the get go does help a gread deal. I have no problem selling this new system knowing that everything is ready to go. Do your self a favor and spend the money for the listed tester I got from newegg when you buy this PSU. Test it and then test your other PSU's and I'm sure you'll feel the same as I do. Thanks newegg......

Pros: -Works well -has all the connectors you would need -80+ save u money -Inexpensive -I got FREE shipping -4 12v rails -Runs my Radeon 9800 pro VC perfectly -Will run a ATI 3850 Rosewell makes great PSU's. I'm realy starting to like Rosewell products. I own 3 of there PSUs RG430-2 430W, RP500-2 500W, RP550-2 550W

Cons: None Yet and no problems with any of the other ones too.

Overall Review: My Specs: ASUS M3A78-EM AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB CORSAIR 4GB DDR2 1066 RAM Rosewill RP550-2 550W PSU Reviewers, Before posting bad reviews on any item, Do your research and buy the right item first then install it as the MFG says to. Your bad reviews just make it harder for others to make the right decision. If you do know what your talking about then post some test facts and Specs to back up your claims.

Pros: Smooth, quiet, dependable and efficient power. The Golf Fan does a great job of moving the air. The fan blades have about 75-100 mini golf ball shaped scallop indents (per blade) to scoop and efficently move the air for great cooling. I thought it was a nice step forward.

Cons: The location of the 4 mounting screws standard has changed, had to make a template from cardboard then redrill to mount in a Thermaltake ATX Case. Been nice if an adapter mounting plate was included for slightly older cases. (minus one egg rating). Could only hit 3 mount points due to variances existing case; still no vibration problems, so it worked out for me.

Overall Review: Keep in mind, there are no fancy lights on the fan, but I was looking for energy savings, and that was accomplished by Rosewill; so high 5 to them. Thx.

Pros: Very quiet and good overall cable lengths. Voltage monitoring has shown very good and stable voltages. Efficiency is fantastic for the price.

Cons: A little more individual bundling on the wiring would be good and the SATA power connectors aren't terminated in the style I prefer (they are using vampire terminals rather than crimp terminals)

Overall Review: for the price, to get a 80% or better power supply is fantastic. The stability of the voltages was great and I'm very happy with the overall product!

Pros: Works Great. My system doesn't require much juice, so this PSU was perfect. Higher efficiency than the Thermaltake TR2-430W it replaced, which is being repurposed in a cheap build I'm putting together for a sibling.

Cons: A little more explanation in the instruction manual about the 4+4 pin power connector would have been helpful.

Overall Review: Connected everything, debated over which of the 4 pin connections to connect to my 4-pin motherboard, got one to fit, put everything back together, hit the power button...and nothing. Feared DOA. But after taking a dinner break and giving it some thought, since absolutely nothing powered up I checked the power on header pins (tight), then revisited the 4+4 pin connection. Reoriented and found the other 4 pin connection fit as well, hit the power button and it powered up without issue. The correct 4-pin for a 4-pin motherboard is the one with the "4P" on it, not the "+4" (makes sense now, but the "+4" 4-pin fit first).

Pros: Very quiet compared to my old 2 small fan power supply. Moves a decent amount of air. Cannot tell for sure, but seems to be blowing out some cooler air than my old power supply. shows over 12V steady...old PS kept dipping into the upper 11V area. Free shipping! If needed, actually had a useful manual in the package.

Cons: Uh. Doesn't do my laundry!

Overall Review: 4 native SATA connectors, 6 Molex connectors on 2 lines, had two 4port CPU connectors, one 6port PCI E connector and of course the very much stable 20+4 motherboard connector. If anyone cares, still seems to have that floppy connector. Went from an older, unknown effeciency power supply to this. At least I know I can save a few watts here and there. Don't know what real difference the golf ball holes make sound wise, but they look cool. All in all, a great addition to replace a gray colored power supply in a black case!

Pros: Relatively inexpensive. Runs quiet.

Cons: Failed after 5 months of light usage (averaged less than 4 hours per day). Computer was connected to a UPS and kept in a reasonable environment (indoor study, 70-75F ambient room temperature, decent case ventilation, low dust).

Overall Review: This was not a heavily loaded system by any stretch. To make sure it wasn't load related, I hooked up a Kill-a-watt after replacing the power supply, and the input load into the system would stay in the 120W-150W range (varied under different system load conditions).
