Comment:
Fantastic robust runner and low fan noise. I got a lot additional than what I paid for. This infant lasted me 6 years and I will be purchasing one more one particular. None that I have noticed. Newegg excels with the very good price tag and consumer service as constantly. Had to use IE to fill out this critique. Hope this will get fixed.

What can you say about a power supply/ It did it's job. Soon after 15 months of use it died. I didn't assume it could be the energy provide that was causing my pc's inability to boot as it is possibly the youngest element I have. My expertise may well or may well not be the norm but 15 months seems like a terribly brief life.

Nevertheless operating. I know power supplies have their lives to live. Mine is nevertheless purring. My moms personal computer would not boot. No biggie. comply with these steps: 1. unplug the pc. two. press and(Hold the energy button in), for min of two mins, then plug the unit back in. She must fire proper up. Kudos to New Egg for trustworthy items. None, cant believe of one particular. I lastly gotten my worth out of this power provide unit. I will certainly get again. I can;t consider of something damaging about these units. Obtain it, but purchase two that way you have a single to fall back on if one particular fails. :)

She is still purring like a kitten, Its remarkable how new egg still stocks a quality energy provide unit. The unit will be purchased as often from new egg to replace my a single of my client's psu on his compaq machine. hahhahah are you kidding me, I cannot uncover any except I took it apart to clean it out, but hey, it still powers all prepherals. I cannot complain. Please read above and beneath. There are no cons right here. I am thinking about acquiring much more of these low priced psu's in bulk in the close to future. I am searching to have workloads of buyers lined up to have their pcs worked on for low price. I can sell these to the shoppers at a nice cost with a slight return.

I ordered this from NewEgg on 2ቯ񳏄. It is nevertheless going strong and operating wonderfully. I hugely advise it. None. 400 Watts was a lot of power at the time. If this is all the power you need to have, appear no further. I'd advise the Apex brand primarily based on my encounter with this item.

Comment:
Quiet, has SATA connector, otherwise a excellent energy supply. Only lasted two months. I toyed with acquiring a additional expensive PS and must have paid much more up front. It was low cost but I'm not going to return it for the similar PS as I'm doubtful a new one will last a lot longer. Also it wouldn't be worth the time for a RMA. Quite minimal power usage on a computer operating basically a linux terminal.

This thing is a work horse, purchased it to replace my nieces old PSU after it was nailed by lightning.Easy install, and no challenges powering her computer system.this factor doesnt make a peep doesnt cook and clean if youve got a program that has mild power needs snag this puppy you wont regret it.

Comments: And a single far more point...Those individuals complaining about heat you'll notice stated that they didn't have right internal fans. DUH! Your power provide unit isn't supposed to cool your internal temps off, your added fans are! Duh! I have 2 fans and an additional PCI fan for the video card. Anyone not running additional fans in a small case is going to get heat challenges, no matter what power supply you get. Don't blame heat challenges onthis unit or any power supply unit for this matter.Just wanted individuals to get their facts straight on this a single.

Really extremely quiet, runs cool, great value. None I have been utilizing this for over 1 year, and it has surpassed my expections in all regions. All the voltages are inside 2-3%. The two fans in the PSU are incredibly quiet. You simply can't come across yet another PSU this fantastic for $xx. Seasonic S12-330 (which I just bought) or 380 are twice or three times the price tag of this one for similar functionality and noise level.

The rails are robust and stable with pleanty of amps.For the moneyb this is an great PSU. none it's not the watts that matter... its how a lot of amps the PSU supplies to the rails ;)

Worked well for me and didn't kill anything else when it died. Died immediately after about 1.five years. Worked fine until I just started obtaining random reboots even though playing games. Had a low end vid card but 4 hard drives. Might have been also much for it but it worked fine for more than a year.

Comment:
Economical. Soon after about 8 months, the computer with this energy provide began to shut off once a day. I replaced this supply with a 350 W provide (different brand) and the problem disappears. Also a bit noisy.

Comment:
cheap died immediately after three years After two years started emitting higher pitched sound. At the finish of 3rd year can't boot the pc, cycles in restarts, can't even get to boot screen. Replaced with Antec 350 W and pc booted right away.

run wonderful although its still alive!this is a very good PS if the PS continue to operate. dead immediately after a small much more than 2yrs of use. i purchased this in 08ቶ񳏃 right here at newegg and newegg nevertheless got the record. the issue operate excellent for a small more than two year now. i just uncover out that the issue is finally DEAD at 12ቪ񳏅. this PS is really good if it can final longer. i run my method 24ǝ 365days/year, i in no way turn my program off. only restart when required. that 17520hrs. what i wonder now is if there's nevertheless warranty for this point.

Comparatively quiet. Runs cool with a lot of power for AMD Sempron 2800+ in an ASUS K8N. None...as lengthy as it continues to perform.

Comment:
Runs great/decent price tag none but may possibly get an additional

Comment:
effective, and trusted. no issues the energy switch (for case) connector that u plug into motherboard is to modest. some of the energy cables barely reach. not produced for a full tower size

Comment:
I identified it to perform niceley and incredibly quiet I have a video card sound card raid with six tough drives and six fans all running all the time seams as well function all my stuff with no problums. Can't beat it for the price tag cables are pleanty extended with much more than enough hook up even for a SATA really hard drive None

Inexpensive, a lot of connectors, dual fan style for added cooling. Low cost, defective capacitors utilised in manufacture---- Has caused me a lot of grief and hassle just before ultimately a capacitor exploded inside and clued me in as---- why gamble? Keep away from like the plague! New energy supply, significantly less then a year, used mildy on a second machine. A few months ago problems began. Namely, in games, you'd just get dumped to the desktop. As luck would have it this was correct following a big update and new drivers on my video card so I was thrown off track. The significant clue that the PSU was to blame occured when a capacitor inside it all of a sudden exploded shortly right after turning on Pc. Visual inspection revealed various other bulging/leaking capacitors. Prevent this junk.

Comment:
-study under -DOA on arrival. I attempted placing this into my case, plugged almost everything in and closed the case. I tried pressing the Start out button but all i hear is a BEEP then stops. Turned the PSU Off then ON then tried once more. Exact same results.... and you will need to buy the warranty which I strategy not to. I will not get yet another PSU from Apex once again.

Comment:
Great power provide...I have been utilizing mine fairly heavily for gaming for a very good five years now and this point is nonetheless truckin along definitely none...what bad can you say about a producy that nevertheless operates perfectly 5 years later
