-Pretty Lights-Silent Running-Lots of SATA Connectors-Adjustable Fans-three Fans-Top quality construction-Good value This factor is Massive. It doesn't even fit in my case. So depressing. It'll fit but theres no area for the DVD-rom drive up there. I was so busy creating sure my energy provide had the correct connectors and power per rail that I didn't even consider to verify the dimensions. I've been making computer systems since 1992 and this is the very first PSU I've observed with a length of 7 inches... not to mention the space you'll want in back for the cables and venting. This seems like a great PSU... assuming you've got space for it. My common ATX situation doesn't... and it was so much cash for some thing I can't even use... so depressing. Operating it outdoors of the situation even though, it seems nice. I hope this assists some of you. Manufacturer Response:Heck, there are even 9" power supplies on the market place. :OAlso, cramming as well quite a few components into a tiny casing would trigger substantially energy to be lost as heat.support@apevia.com

Fantastic value, high wattage. Will run 1 video card excellent. Top quality product. I bought this power supply with my program thinking I may possibly go sli a single day. At the time I thought watts were everything and that surely 680w would be in a position to run two 8800GTS 320's. Well the price ultimately came down on the 320's and I was able to get a second a single for 100 plus game. I couldn't pass it up, sli ought to give me a decent enhance in efficiency. Unfortunately everytime I turn on sli and run a game, the method turns off. What I have discovered is that the two cards are overloading the 2nd 12v rail, causing the power provide to turn off. So much to my dismay the 680 watts are meaningless in this situation. I am writing this review as a word of caution. This isn't a poor power provide. It worked perfectly for me for practically a year with two drives in raid and a single 8800 gts 320. Nonetheless, if you intend to run a increased end sli setup steer clear of it. You either want to get a supply that has 4+ rails or go with a single rail setup. I personally, went single rail. If you go multi rail make positive it is sli certified. This will guarantee that the pci express jacks are on their own rail. Hopefully this will benefit someone else like me who believed wattage was every little thing.

great cooling. tends to make me not really need to have the other fans. additional then sufficient connectors. a lil loud on complete speed fan. but not as well negative. and its a lil enjoyable tucking the wires. it was an straightforward install though. had to start out all screws to get em all lined up.

Comment:
I've owned this unit for more than a year and was saving it to use in a new rig I am constructing. Nonetheless following reading all the reviews here I have to admit I'm afraid to. If you look cautiously the worst evaluations are from owners with a year or more ownership. Doesn't inspire any confidence. NO OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION talked about anywhere, but numerous "fried my mobo" posts. One particular fried board is one particular too numerous. I didn't add them up but it tends to make you wonder what kind of RMA rate this unit has. Why IS the failure rate so high on this unit? Or Apevia items normally? Apevia, care to comment? Manufacturer Response:The ATX-AS680W energy provide has the following protections: brief-circuit, over-voltage, over-present, over-power, beneath-voltage, and electric shock protection.

Got this P/S as a shellshocker for แ. Upgraded from 480 watt, even although I didn't genuinely require to. Fan controls are genuinely great and it isn't seriously that loud like some other reviews stated. And the blue glow is a nice touch. Kinda big, but I was expecting that. Fit nicely right after I slid my disc drive forward, but only to get in the situation(mid-tower). After install was able to place drive suitable back exactly where it was. Was a SUPER-SWEET DEAL at แ. Couldn't be happier.

Lots of connectors that solidly lock, especially for the four pin molex connections. is at the moment handling Everything with no hiccups at all. This factor has 3 fans that are speed controlled through the dial on the back. It is incredibly easy to get it exactly exactly where you want it, really precise. When turned up about half way I see slight drops of about 1 to 3 on my cpu temps, and 1 to 2 on my MB at roughly half speed! Blue sleeved cables are good searching.The Egg had to me in 2 days...great as usual.See other thoughts for rig specs. Ok, it is not that bad but a single of the 4 pin molex connectors had three of the four pins bent downwards. Had it fixed it about ten seconds with a push up with my flathead screwdriver(no the psu was not plugged in :P). Nevertheless functions fine, for now, it is powering my DVD-Burner as of now. Like I stated, it is operating anything for me suitable now with NO ill effects.AMD Phenom two 955BE OC'edAsus M4A89GTDPro USB38 gigs Vital Ballistix Tracer DDR3 1600 BlueRaidmax Smilodon CaseWD Caviar Black 500Gig This coming Friday I will be installing two HIS 5870's and two Seagate 2TB drives, so I will be back to update.

Often has adequate energy to give me and begins up in a flash.Really reliablie. My major ATX power cable came loose following installing some new parts. The PSU detected that just before I noticed it. It's amazing. There's only one factor that bugs me about this PSU.The fan speed controller. I can get the thing to calm down but it seems shoty. Like it doesn't turn it down considerably and when I have it at max it doesn't push the air it utilized to. But I think that my fault for obtaining 2 80cfm case fans pulling hot air out. I had my old 400w PSU slowly die as the fan started to slow down... I believed it would be finest to replace it. This 680w PSU is excellent and has a lot of energy to give.5 eggs for a great PSU - Extremely Advocate it - Amazing Client Help.

-Good power provide-Sleeved cables are constantly great.-Came with lots of extension cables. Soon after possessing this for about two years. I had a rail go out on my but it was all great apevia has good support. Apevia sent me a power provide following I gave them the tracking number of the old a single I was sending back. Just completely great support. I will acquire a lot much more apevia stuff.

Price tag, i got mine for ุ yesterday immediately after mail in rebate, couldnt beat it. Cool LEDs, Quiet when the dial is turned down. Cable wraps are good too. Size of the cables and attempting to tuck them in someplace. The mounting holes didnt match up with my case precisely so i had to use excessive force on one of the screws, but its not going anywhere.Jumped on the deal to prepare for upgrades as i was working with a PSU that came with a cheap case.

Comment:
this power provide has 3 fans to keep it cool and also has its cables protected, you can also control the how intense your fans will run the fans on the power provide can be incredibly loud if you have them set to the highest setting fantastic buy

This is a good power supply purchased this in 07 and its still operating sturdy. powering a technique that never ever turns off i game at day, fold at night. Has two beefy 12v rails and 680watts for its price tag.Powers:Intel D955XBK MoboIntel Core2Duo E6400eVGA 260GTX Core two Duo3x sata drives+other stuff Not modular, the cables could make a mess. Fortunately my case has a big space between moboplate and side panel so i just stuff the cables there. The fan controller and led's on the psu burnt out right after 2nd year, i replaced with spare parts i have here from a burnt out old psu. Quite straightforward repair, still a wonderful power provide.NOTE: DO NOT PREFORM SUCH REPLACEMENTS/REPAIRS IF YOU HAVE NO Thought WHAT YOU ARE Carrying out. OPENING PSU'S CAN BE FATAL AND CAN VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

When it runs quiet, it is a fantastic power supply I have to crank the fan to the max to get rid of that awful low pitched whining sound. Sounds kinda like a child whale This is my second one of these to replace the initial a single I got back in Aug 2006 (which was really quiet and worked great till now) and it looks and feels the very same but it isn't the similar. I am upset because I have a small - medium sized case with 3 difficult drives in it, two cd roms, a floppy disk with a five.25 fan controller, temp display device and more so there is wires everywhere. I had to take a pen and very carefully move wires out of the way to locate and rehook every thing up which took a really really long time. Now due to the fact of this whining noise I will have to do all that once again. At least all those wires won't be as tangled the subsequent time

Comment:
A very quiet power supply and a lot of area for future builds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None(so far) I just can't get more than how quiet it is.....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment:
Power supply worked fine till it didn't. Provide died precisely 1 year and 3 months following obtain. Purchased two of these back in the day because the price was very good - glad I did, as well...so I had a spare. Exacltly one year and three months immediately after the obtain the power provide just died. I wish businesses would care about developing more good quality into their items - this culture of engineering solutions to last just outside of the warranty period is cruddy, and guarantees an unhappy, non-repeat client = negative small business plan for growth.

Comment:
Has wonderful capabilities, except for not becoming modular (not a requirement for my purposes). Quiet. PS didn't fail - but had voltage consistency concerns on power up - internal peripherals not powering totally (wireless NIC, video) - so no display, or connectivity when the display did work on occasion. Manufacturer issued an RMA - they are fantastic to deal with! Installed a lower powered replacement (also Aspire) and voila - all works now.

Comment:
This factor functions just fine...Easy install...lots of plugs.Glows blue just like my case light. none

Comment:
8 peripherals!sturdy3 fans I had to cut out holes in my apevia x-cruiser case to make it fit. Strange they wouldn't make it fit into the same brand case.Heavey. This power provide has such great air flow control that I don't even want an exhaust fan on my case!

This is the second one particular that I have purchased. I put this in a Apevia X-Plorer Case running on a ASUS P5NE-SLI Motherboard with a Intel Core two Duo E4600 2.4Ghz CPU, with two EVGA GeForce 8500 GT 1GB PCI-E Graphic Cards running in SLI Mode, two ASUS DVD/R Burners, Dual 360Gig Western Digital SATA 7400 operating on RAID-1, CORSAIR 4GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 and I nevertheless have connectors from this power provide that is not getting utilized for something. I have a total of ten fans operating in this case and the power supply nevertheless has enough power to handle more... Wonderful for Core 2 Duo Processors and lower class. NONE / Every little thing is best. I will buy this once more for other consumers. Built Terrific and has additional than adequate power to run an exteme gaming technique if your operating Processors in the Core 2 Duo Class. If you are utilizing Quad Core and Extreme Processor, I would advocate making use of a 700Watt....If you use Dual Quad Core on a Dual Quad Core Motherboard (INTEL) I would suggest utilizing a power of 1100watt - 1200watt, Serious!!!
