APEVIA ICEBERG ATX-IB680W-BL 680W Power Supply With 3-Color LED Lights

Comment:
Great energy supply when it worked. Place out lots of energy for every little thing I ran, way more than sufficient truly. Outstanding energy, marvelous appear, low price. Like previously said, "while it lasted." When I got it, there was a loose component. I need to have RMA'd it on the spot, but I was as well excited to place it all with each other. Didn't impact the technique until right after (of course) the 1yr was up. Method crashed 1 day, and from then on it would randomly shut off. Always ran slow and energy fluctuated fairly regularly. Seems that element brought on some sort of quick in the PSU causing it to drop energy/fan speed. I gave this a threeǛ because of the following: my laziness is likely the sole reason why it stopped working. If I had RMA'd it from the get-go, I imagine I wouldn't be writing anything in this box. I feel this is a wonderful product general, although it's significantly more for appears than anything. My case sits facing away from me with no window on best, so I will not be replacing the broken one particular with one other. Go with this for appears, and don't be lazy like I was.

functions effectively lots of connections, genuinely sweet searching in my case blue leds match every thing. powers my q6600 and single 3870 just fine. i really like the braided cables that and the leds was the main cause i chose this psu. the adjustable fan speed manage is a good touch also if you have a fold down motherboard tray the 8-pin cpu connector is a little short could use an 8-pin pci express connector for future upgrades from what i read it appears fail out of the box or 1 year later i will write one more assessment in a year or so if its nonetheless operating. im also wondering how it will do when i ad my 2nd graphics card

This is a quite strong energy provide. In additional than a year of service it has but to fail on me. The Ƴ volt rail has a incredibly fantastic capacity for all of my requirements. The acrylic cover tends to make the inside of the case look wonderful. The quality of the elements is exceptional. It supplies sufficient power for the 8800gtx. The acrylic on the psu was scratched so i had to take it off and turn it around. The 20Ʋ atx motherboard connector doesnt have slides to attach the Ʋ pins to it. I dont know if this was a manufacturing concern or not. I have doubts if the psu could deal with running 2 8800gtx's in sli. Also it could be a motherboard situation but occasionaly when i plug in a usb device all of the devices on my usb go off. I would reccomend the Powersupply to any individual. If i would use it once again, possibly not. I strategy on operating 3 cards in tri sli. so power will be vital and this psu could not possibly present it.

Power Delay of approx. 5 or a lot more seconds means stable power. It looks fantastic. I like the cable wrap appear. Transforming colors... wow. Cable wrap is stiff when trying to bend 90deg angles. Power Delay of five seconds kept my mobo from turning on ideal away (Not really a con just inconvienient). Power provide does not keep in mind which color I chose final time(a various switch design could have fixed it). Fantastic energy supply. Very good cost. Why not.

Fantastic, solid construction. Vibrant, fairly LEDs. Outstanding fan speed when turned all the way up. Fair value with rebate. Good blue casing wires. As well numerous connectors... for me anyway. I had to tie extras ྪ) below my DVD drive, but I guess that's my fault. Screws didn't all go in, I have two in which really should hold. Of program I comprehend these had been possibly produced to place in Apevia™ situations, which doesn't seem fair but they have to promote their product. If anybody is questioning why the red LED is "dimmer" than the green and blue, it's due to the fact the wavelength of the color red is greater on the spectrum, therefore producing it harder to see. The green is the brightest. Also my setup is a Logisys Phantom Mid, Visiontek RadeonHD ATI 2600XT, Gigabyte DS3L, Corsair 2gb 1066, and E6550.

Nice colors, wanted green but MIR made blue completely worth it. Has a ton of cables (good for some individuals? also quite a few for me). Has just about ever type you must require, and enough of them. All of the cables are extended adequate to reach where they require to go (and them some :/). Its four inches to my Mobo connector and the cable is 12 inches. I had to hide the further molex and further lengths of cables in my spare drive bays. I wish the red light was brighter. I wish the fan had an external speed control or I could use it to control far more fans.A single of the 4 screwholes wasn't drilled properly and one more was dangerously close to not operating as well. I'm not RMAing it bc it functions and I can't reside devoid of my comp any longer :P Adequate power for my energy hungry ATI card and OC'd q6600. My recent encounter with Apevia is Brilliant items, decent workmanship. (I got a case from them too)

emailed consumer service and was told to have the p.s. entirely disconnected from the laptop or computer take the 24 pin connector and short pins 16 (grn) and 17 (blk), and see if it will run. it did! Then, as advised, I checked the rails with a DVM and they all looked fairly good. So I reconnected to computer system and it's operating now. I repaired circuit boards while in the military and I do not care significantly for the old lumpy soldering job discovered on this p.s. Also it could use a coat of clear sealant. Plus the board is warped. Maybe a little further Q.C. would not bring the fees up also a lot. But certain would save income in the extended run, eh? But, as lengthy as folks maintain acquiring 'em they'll make 'em low-cost as feasible. Can't afford a fancy wave soldering machine or train personnel to run it. on a positive note: Apeiva's c.s. is fairly great. Answered e-mails within an hour. And it's operating for now.

Looks great. Rock solid performance. LED's and sleeving appear best notch! Not modular. But I'm very good at dressing wires. Functions far better that I ever believed it would.

Lots o' wattageMore than sufficient plugs for hard drives and video cardsSturdy construction (Has been working continually for Ӯ years) Not modularI don't have a seethrough case so I can't see the fan colors :P Fan is adjustable from quiet to quite loud, nevertheless, extremely loud brings most of my computer down to room temp.

Has been a wonderful PSU. Been running for more than a year. Altering the LEDs is good. Tough to clean (complete tear down). Antec 900 caseASUS M2N SLI=Deluxe MBAMD Athlon x2 6400+ 2.eight ghz9700 pro cooler680w Apevia PSUEVGA 8800GTS 320 MB

Looks fairly and powers my rig. This guy is powering my XFX PVT80FSHF9 GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Prepared SLI Supported Video Card without having any issue at all. This power supply is equipped with two PCI Express 16 power connectors which is specifically what my video card utilizes. Will not don\'t forget the color setting you chose soon after powering down or even going into standby. Beware if you program on purchasing this power supply with a video card like mine in thoughts and plan on executing SLI, do not get this energy provide. It says right on the GPU box that you cannot use regular molex to PCI Express x16 converters to power the card. Seek out a energy supply with 4 connectors.

Basically appear at the offered energy available to you on each and every იv rail. Most systems require a bare minimum of 20a's on each იv rails and this 1 presents more than that. It's nicely created and a lot of power possibilities to suit your demands. General I'm running considerably cooler now. there are a ton of cables and can make for a messy look but if your not working with an acrylic side window then who cares. DO YOUR Household Function! The PSU is 1 of the most essential components you will ever purchase. If your beneath powered then you will burn up your elements. Don't neglect that you want to appear for a good quality PSU that delivers a bare minimum of 20a's on each and every იv rail(s).

I've had this power supply for 2 1ǘ years now and it's nevertheless holding up just fine. It's in an antec 900 case running three LED 120mm fans and a 200mm top rated fan. It supplies an AMD 5600+ processor with the red orb cpu cooler, two difficult drives, an 8800GTX video card, 4gigs of ram, and 2 dvd drives. For a mid ranged energy provide, it has genuinely held up nicely; as I run it tough with Oblivion, Worry, Left 4 Dead all on max settings... and it has never flinched. None. Soon after 2 1ǘ years I did have to take the clear plastic cover on the best off to vacuum out some of the dust. Hopefully it'll final a couple much more years! It's major. Has all of it's LED's nevertheless functioning right after all this time!

They're help was helpful and I got rapid responses through e-mail It was DOA DOA doesn't say a lot about their QC. I ended up going with a much less high priced modular PS created by Ultra, & it looks substantially nicer with a clear case. I wouldn't know for confident but I bet the 120MM fan makes the Ultra quieter as nicely. Manufacturer Response:: ( We do try... ===support@apevia.com===

Fan speed manage, three color arrays with see-thru case, Runs quiet and cool. Modify your color to match your case with jonny-on-the-spot button, good feature. Effectively built stirdy construction. Has colored wire sleaves. Crome thumb screws. The eight pin CPU power conector was about 6" brief leaving it strechced diagonaly across the observation window in my mid tower situation. All other leads had been fine with plenty of lead to tuck away niceley I purchased this psu due to the fact it had an 8 pin cpu power conector and is sli ready. I wont have to shop far for my next develop..

Worked ok even though it lasted. Lasted only a year.

Excellent power supply that does what it's suppose to. The color shifting isn't employed since the rest of my technique has blue lights. It does add substantially far more blue to the system which is excellent so I can see my way about the basement when the lights are off. It's been running for eight months, continuously, no negatives.

Comment:
Lovely LED's, good value (got a ุ.00 rebate), high watts, and fast fans when turned up. The fans are not as noisy when turned up as you may anticipate for the speed they run at... Does not fit correctly in my Apevia X-Cruiser case, I would have liked to see them intergrate purple into one particular of the LED colors. I only got 2 screws in the PSU immediately after messing with it for a few minutes. If you have an X-Cruiser situation stay away from this PSU.

Comment:
manual fan speed manage is good when for when its time for bed, colors make my case glow :), eight Pin connector, low-cost. About 7 months into owning this it ended up supplying as well substantially power to my 500GB WD Caviar (SATA) drive and ended up overheating, about two weeks right after that a single of the pins on the 8 Pin ATX line ended up melting and burned straight through the socket on the motherboard, killing the motherboard and processor. :\ It was nice whilst i had it, but kind of a sigh that i created this comp on a strict price range now due to this failing i have to replace the motherboard and processor out of my own pocket

This power seems to perform effectively. I have had no troubles with it. Newegg shipping was good as usual! The company seems less than truthful. I filled out my rebate type, sent in the UPC code, etc. and I haven't gotten my rebate. My guidance is not to expect a rebate - perhaps from anyone. I've in no way liked rebates and they are never ever the 1st explanation I obtain a thing. I've noticed some organization representatives post on other critiques how the guidelines of the rebate necessarily have to be arcane. I guess that is an admission that they hope most individuals will miss some small detail to justify their not sending the rebate. I just don't find that a buyer friendly organization practice. There are a lot of competitors out there that I will decide on not to place myself in that position again. Manufacturer Response:I need to disagree. We have staff committed to only issuing rebates! If you are 100% certain that you met all of the criteria then you WILL acquire your rebate. Not sure who mentioned that the criteria was "arcane", but it is strict (find me a company whose isn't!). Take your time and read all measures prior to sending to make sure that if there IS a mistake produced that it will not be on your finish. Really feel totally free to contact us relating to your rebate status. Other clients should also give us a contact or e-mail us ought to they require clarification on our rebate procedure.assistance@apevia.com 鿍ꋶ-0789 M-F 9A-fiveᛆP Pacific.

looks awesome CO does not make excellent on rebate!!! they've sent all sorts of spam mail (they got my information) but no rebate. 2.five months and no rebate!!! fan light defaults to blue on startup >:-( Manufacturer Response:Greetings Red. PLEASE speak to us right away so we can get to the bottom of this. If we owe then we'd be obliged to spend. We would like to retain our karma clean! assistance@apevia.com

Decent energy provide After taking my time to fill out all the rebate facts provided by the organization that was on this internet site to print they tell me I sent the wrong info and are not going to send my rebate. If you are preparing on receiving this cheap because of a rebate opportunity don't bother simply because you will a lot more then likely not get it. Manufacturer Response:If all criteria is met, rebates WILL be issued! Granted, that when dealing with rebates from any corporation, there are strict measures/guidelines that ought to be followed.

Fairly Lights, cables are a very good length, lots of connections. Lasted 6 months just before it let the magic smoke out. It also liked my motherboard so much, it decided to take it along to the dumpster when it died. I've by no means noticed so numerous chared circuit pathways on a single motherboard prior to. If you see this coming, RUN! Manufacturer Response:You can do an RMA by way of us for the energy supply to get an exchange on the PSU if you are nonetheless below our warranty period.

Really very good item. cools effectively, runs quietly. I ordered this product lately, and there is no switch for colors, which must imply they gave me a different model, which is fine as long as it functions. Or perhaps they discontinued that feature on the product, on the other hand I give it a 10ቦ!

Beautiful lights. Lots of power when brand new. Powered my ATI 5870 for many months no difficulties. The quantity of energy coming out of this PS decreases more than the course of several months. My ATI 5870 is now not obtaining sufficient energy in the course of 3D games in spite of all hardware unchanged given that I very first built the program nearly a year ago. This is not a affordable energy supply and all the cost went into creating it gorgeous as an alternative of generating it dependable.
