Antec EarthWatts 430 W ATX12V Power Supply

Comment:
Great PS for the income. I believe this is nevertheless Seasonic primarily based and it's a really very good design and style for what you get. I really like em and I got two this last time just in case I necessary a different one. None Fantastic size for most any computer. Folks constantly appear to get either total overkill energy supplies or some cheap 300 watt tart that has a 750 watt sticker on it and catches fire when you push the power button. This factor is even overkill for most computers unless you run a pretty modern day video card or SLI/CF, but for the funds it was a great bargain.

Great PSU for a HTPC doesn't come with a energy cord...knew about this ahead of acquire; I've got extras...but beware if you don't have extras laying about...you Want a energy cord Roses are red, violets are blue...

I have owned this PSU for almost three months now and it amazes me how properly it performs. Look at my specs in other thoughts:At complete CPU load (Phenom II X6 1055t) sucks up about 220𞴠 watts with OCCT one hour test. No lockups, no difficulties, and system is on almost 24ǝ. If you have all 6 cores maxed out plus my graphics card, you would get a net load of 240𞵈 watts at most and that incorporates running all of the other elements as properly. None at all Method Specs:AMD Phenom II X6 1055t (stock HSF/ I don't OC)ECS 780GM-A Ultra (Black EditionƢGB OCZ DDR2 PC800 RAMRadeon 5550 512MB DDR32x WD Really hard Drives (Raid 1)Intel 40GB SSD (It rocks for games)LG Blu-ray BurnerHauppaugge DVR-1250 Tv tuner (PCI-E 1x)Quickly to be 2x Arctic Cooling PWM case fansRosewill (RS909, I feel) caseI wanted to post this adhere to up for all of those who wonder if this PSU can handle X6 CPUs with a mainstream graphics card, which it definitely can. I would not suggest going more than 80% of this PSU's (or any other's for that matter) wattage (e.g. 430w @ 80% = 344w); fundamentally make confident that you don't acquire any graphics card that goes more than 104 watts at max load for gaming (direct compute), if you take place to have a 6 core CPU.I hope this helps anybody else concerned with buying an x6 with a mainstream graphics adapter. Happy Holidays ;-)

works good so far. can't tell something besides that. absolutely nothing

The power provide in my headless media server all of a sudden snapped. This a single dropped appropriate in and just... Functions! Quieter than the original 1, also. Initial package in a while from newegg with poor packing. The PS was put in a considerably bigger box with a little packing paper wadded-up to the side. It fairly rattled. Excellent point Antec packed the PS properly in their box.

Features In my case, 20Ʋpin Mobo Connector came with a missing pin AND a missing power line (guessing that's what it's referred to as).

Comment:
Quiet as could be. Spiffy green colour. Much more cords than you know what to do with. ...Seriously. it's a lot of cordage. If you have something smaller than a full ATX case, you're gonna have trouble fitting it all in there.

Comment:
Uncomplicated install. I adore the quietness of Antec PSUs. None so far.

Comment:
it has lots of energy for most AMD rigs with mid high level graphis ATI cards except for the genuinely higher end cards or unless you are running SLI or Crossfire. I have had 1 of these operating 24ǝ for ӯ years now nevertheless rock solid you have to be kidding for all the AMD rigs I have constructed only one or two occasions did I need to have to get a larger 1 and that was for crossfire rig or a high end Nivida Graphics card

Comment:
Quiet, quite stable, effective and has a very good warranty...Antec makes great solutions, may well spend a couple of bucks additional for them but it pays off in the end. Did I mention this point is quiet! It didn't install itself... Use the wattage calculator offered by Newegg and get what you want plus a small extra for future upgrades. May well be shocked by how small the calculator tells you!

Runs an intel dual core 3Ghz E8400 with a GTX 275 completely fine 24ǝ with no any hiccups whatsoever in my Folding@home/backup Computer. Doesn't come with a Power cord simply because it's a green series PSU. You ought to only obtain this unit if you have spare energy cords. The GTX 275 requires a 575w PSU according to nvidias web site but this 430w Antec PSU can handle the load just fine for the previous month in which my GTX 275 has been folding 24ǝ constantly @ 99%-100% GPU Load complete time.

80+bronze, low cost, enough watts for my needs. No power cable, make certain you have a single :Pkindof a lot of unnecessary cables for me, but better safe than sorry. And i actually shouldn't be complaining about this, if i only wanted what I required then I ought to've gotten a modular PSU.

Functions effectively, quiet, no smoke or weird noises, lots of long cables, 80 plus certified bronze. Not modular (i knew that, and with some further cable ties it's fine), no energy cable (again i knew that, but nevertheless). I was rubbin' my pincers when i saw how power supplies in general look to have a fairly higher fail rate, so i went with this one particular due to all the good evaluations and am so glad i did!It powers this make:Biostar AM3 TA880GB+AMD Athlon 2 X2 250 Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB 7200 RPMAsus CD/DVD burnerKingston DDR3 ƒx1GB)two 80mm case fans with LEDs, plus LED bar in case.

Got it on sale for ุ, really very good power provide. Has hook ups for every thing and then some. 1 video card hook up?

Comment:
You can't go incorrect with this factor. Extremely quiet at idle or load, produces no heat except beneath heavy load, and runs incredibly effectively. Even has a nice dark green paint job. I personal both this and the EA-380D. Each perform identically, this one just has a tiny higher wattage ceiling. They also look identical, except for a slightly distinct texture of paint utilized on this one particular. Very same color, though. Thanks to Antec's frequent rebates, got this for ุ with no cost shipping. You can't get an 80+ bronze PSU for significantly less. None Check out 'Antec Power Provide Calculator' on their website to get an concept of what wattage you're going to will need to run your parts. Turns out, it's normally a lot reduce than you'd anticipate. As extended as your running a machine with 1 video card, this PSU need to cover all your requires very easily. For illustration: my build has Athlon II X4 630, Blue ray drive, Sata tough drive, two sticks DDR3, Radeon 5770, and two 80mm fans. The calculator says I want 272 watts at 90% load. Great for this PSU.Power Supply's often run more efficiently at medium ࿒%) load. That implies that if your system draws around 215 watts, this is the best power provide for you.80+ Bronze implies that this factor always runs at 82% or more efficiency, but at 50% load, it runs at 85% efficiency. That signifies significantly less heat and less cash to run.

•Good internal design - Utilizes a Sea Sonic OEM design which has been attempted and true for stability and effectiveness (used in the Computer P&C Silencer series, Sea Sonic's personal S12II/M12II Bronze series)•Reasonable cooling technique - Good heatsinks, openly ventilated at the front, relatively quiet ADDA 80mm fan in the rear•Short housing - Only 14cmǛ.5in long, which is very good for cramped quarters•Long cables - 50cmቯ.5in of cable in between housing to the 1st/only connector, 16cmǜin involving peripheral connectors •Only one 6-pin PCI-E - Sea Sonic S12II 430B has an extra sixǞ-pin PCI-E, charges the similar as the Antec EA-430D•Unsleeved cables - Only the main 24-pin ATX cable is sleeved, no grommet at the housing to safeguard wires, cheap wire tie rather (again, not a challenge on the S12II 430B, which capabilities fully sleeved cables and a protective grommet at the housing)•Does not come with a energy cord in the box - Hope you have a spare...•Eco packaging delivers questionable protection - Thin cardboard is environmentally friendly but won't take substantially abuse from an unfriendly delivery particular person I purchased the EA-430D working with a discount code which produced it a fair quantity cheaper than the Sea Sonic PSU I've referenced a few times currently. At a reduce price I could overlook the comparative short-fallings to the SS S12II, and it was a significantly far better fit for the budget build it was being applied for. Now that they sell for the similar value as soon as once again, there's no reason not to go for the S12II 430B as an alternative of the EA-430D. Greater external construct good quality and cable choice, essentially involves a energy cable, and better packaging.This is not a undesirable power supply, there just occurs to be much better ones out there.

Works right out of the box. Quiet. A greater output, extremely trusted typical power supply. I put a single in nearly each and every make. None for me. As with smaller situations, the cables are a bit long. A difficulty I don't mind at all since an updated case down the road won't require me to get another power supply. I'm Pleased!

Comment:
It supplies power. Apparently, this is not the Seasonic style that's been so tried and accurate. From my study, it seems that this is produced by Delta. I guess that's why there's a D at the end of the model number. Purchaser beware!

This child feed athlon IIx3 425 overclocked to 3.37, two sticks of DDR2 operating at 1000 MHz and 2.05v, and a XFX HD5770 without a single problem. No problems following hours of gaming, no complications through eight hours of tension testing. Quiet, quiet, quiet................Cable lenght is OK. None

Comment:
Worked without a hitch. A lot of power and connections for my aged Pentium IV laptop or computer and a PCIe card. Sorta a con - It's green I couldn't fairly tell from the image if it was a dark gray or green. Properly it is green. I would have preferred a unique color. Nonetheless, this is a great PSU. I may have still purchased it even if I was one hundred% good of the color. It's not a massive deal - no eggs taken off.

80Plus Bronze nowantec excellent meh, none that I've identified I've had this in my home server on continuously for a substantial amount of time, all is well. I had the previous generation of this that was not Bronze certified, no problems with that it's nevertheless powering my media center Pc

Comment:
This PSU provides a lot of power and let me recycle 1 of the several power cables I've collected more than the years. The camo-green looks a bit awkward in my otherwise blacked out situation.

Comment:
Effortless to install. Every little thing fit perfectly. None that I can see I pretty a lot often get Antec cases and PSUs. It tends to make to no sense to get super low cost components in this area. An Antec Sonata case is a dream to screw with each other and the net outcome is a incredibly quiet system making use of stock parts.
