Antec EarthWatts Green EA-380D Green 380W Continuous power Power Supply

Comment:
No problems with this supply so far (owned for about three months). Runs extremely quiet although idle and noise is extremely acceptable under heavy load. Note, it doesn't come with a cord to plug the supply into a wall outlet. I had about six extras just taking up space, so I located this to be a pro. I was worried this provide could not place out the power needed to run my old/wife's computer, nevertheless, no challenges even under heavy load with the following main specsɆ.4GHz core2Duo3 sticks of DDR2 800 MHz8800 GTS320 GB HD

80 Plus Bronze certified. Antec good quality. Appropriate size and capacity for this particular create. 8 pin cpu energy connection. (it is at times challenging to tell whether or not a PSU has the eight pin despite the fact that now-a-days they all must) Quiet design and style with a single 80mm rear discharge fan with a chrome grill. The case is properly constructed with a nice matted dark green finish. None This develop: Gigabyte MA785GM motherboard. AMD Athlon II three.two dual core regor 65 watt processor. WD 500GB Cavier Black. four GB of GSkill Dual channel 1066 DDR2 memory. It's a straightforward make that performs excellently with Win7 64 bit

Really quiet and effective, powers two tough drives and 4 peripherals. This is one effective green power supply. None so far Excellent cost, straightforward install

Comment:
-I like the efficiency.-There had been ample power connectors. Even though I installed this in an older laptop or computer (circa 2003) that required the old school sort, there were a lot. The extra 4 pins on the primary board connection were simple to get out of the way too.-It's quiet. -It didn't very fit. The bits projecting from the rear didn't quite match the cutout on my old Compaq Presario S6010V. I was in a position to screw it in sufficient although.-As an additional reviewer noted, there is a substantial pitched sound. On the other hand, soon after I closed the case it was inaudible.

Runs cool, quiet, but what i was seriously satisfied with the fact it didn't give off the impression of getting poorly constructed. It looks and feels like a well built power provide. None (Yes it doesn't come with a power cord, but that ought to be the least of anyones concern when searching for a top quality piece of gear such as this) I'm going to use this power provide on every single technique I develop, Except for systems with mid-high finish graphics. This PSU will cover any normal program with ease, very good specs on the 12V+. Thank you for generating a PSU I can ultimately put some faith into.

Nice PSU. Plenty of power for HTPC. Very quiet and stable power. Not modular

Comment:
Only higher-finish systems will will need far more than this PSU. I use these all the time. 80+ Bronze for efficiency, really quiet, excellent length on cables. Unsleeved cables, but for this price tag, no major deal. No power cord, which also isn't truly a con simply because that truth is advertised. I in all probability have at least a single other review of this PSU on here; just saying it remains my primary selection for most systems I develop that are not higher-finish gamers.

- More than adequate power for most computer systems.- High quality- Really quiet- Low-cost- Effective- Excellent assortment of connectors, such as an EPS12V power connector. - Cables are not modular.- Unusual green color does not match with the color scheme of very quite a few circumstances. This is the PSU that most people with a regular ATX/micro-ATX-sized situation and a normal single CPU with a decent GPU setup would want to get. This is a single of the lowest-priced top quality PSUs out there and you will will need to commit substantially a lot more to get a unit that is noticeably far better. It has plenty of energy for something short of a heavily-overclocked technique with a high-end GPU or a dual-CPU workstation with a higher-end GPU or a big disk array. I use it for a dual Xeon LV HTPC/media server and it fits that function perfectly.

A excellent excellent item so far. I also feel the fan is a bit loud when running at 200 watts or so. At idle wattage it is quiet. Also have not received rebate after ten weeks. Google antec rebate dilemma and come across that their rebate provider business went bankrupt. Not our difficulty Antec. JEEZ. Go locate the paperwork you saved (I hope) and submit it once again through e-mail. Guidelines at: www.antec.com/rebate.html

Affordable, so far it is performing properly, it has been installed for about two weeks None so far

Great apparent high quality. Lengthy cables. Kind of has a thick bomb-proof paint on it that would be hard to scratch and gives a nice touch. Quite quiet. It has a very strong / quality really feel to it when you choose it up. I'm back into builds again after a 10 year hiatus. I caught this with a combo deal. When I went buying for video cards I was a tiny taken back that everyone wanted 400 to 450 PSUs for the level I was considering (nVidia 450 or 5670 and above). I said what the heck and got an eVGA 450 anyway and it has been rock strong. In this regard I type of wish I got the 500W version, but can't ding an egg for my ignorance. My new develop -- my last a single was likely a P3 800 or some thing. :) I'm coming from a Dell P4 3G so it is really a step up.Asus 870 MB; Phenom II X2 560 unlocked to 4 cores and auto overclocked to three.five; 2x2GB Adata; Vital RealSSD 64GB Sata III; WD black 1TB Sata III; eVGA 450.

It can't have any pros when it doesn't even work. Stupid factor didn't come with a energy cord, thankfully I had a number of extra. Do not get this product. I purchased two for a project and neither operate at all.

Comment:
Extremely effective, exact same computer system draws 80 watts much less than before. Much less heat blowing out the back. No power cord included.

Comment:
Excellent value, very quiet, quoted efficiency excellent for my Computer which is generally on, hopefully conserve me some green $ ;) none correct now

Comment:
My understanding about Power supply is quite low, so I don't truly know what to say.It performs fine and I haven't encountered any challenge however. (I've had it for three months now)Power output is continual No complaints I applied this PS for my modest custom Computer to play Starcraft 2, and it runs fine.

Comment:
So far, its been operating properly. powers the athlon II x2 3ghz a 250gb WD HD and asrock mobo with 4gb ram fine Its not modular..so kinda annoying Antec is always high quality, ive used them for years.

Comment:
quiet dependable and powerfull as often with antec power supplies none

Comment:
It is fantastic stable power provide. Count on nothing at all less from Antec. I came with no power cord. Why? I didn't need to have the power cord but did you seriously conserve anything by not including it. How unhappy would I have been if it was my 1st make and did want it and had to get a power cord just before testing? It is just stupid.

Ordered on Mon, got it on Weds, so that's the best Ū.99 I've spent on shipping EVAR. Installed Weds night with no issues and it's running like a champ, no sparks, smell of ozone, etc. I'll let it burn in for a couple of days next. It's missing a smaller three pin connection that the old Antec SP-350 provide had. I have no notion what this connector did though. Antec Help advised the EA-380 as a replacement for the old SP-350 that went out on my situation. The new supply has almost all the identical connectors as the old, plus lots of added ones.

Comment:
Reliable, good price, great as replacement for aging comps. don't don\'t forget any! its fantastic!

Bout this to use with MSI 760GM-E51 AM3 AMD 760G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard. In retrospect I must have bout a greater wattage PS. Nonetheless it does what I ask of it. None

Comment:
I have bought 94 of these PSU's for Computer builds my dept. is carrying out for my corporation. They are very and energy a normal destop Computer with zero concerns. Out of 94 PSU's I had zero DOA's. Thank's Antec for the wonderful item and thanks Newegg for the superb service. None I applied this PSU for building standard desktop Computer's, just powers the mobo, 1 tricky drive, DVD-RW, CPU, and RAM. No graphics card or other extra components.

Comment:
Operates well, all wires labeled. I am not bothered by lack of a power cord as they are straightforward to come by. Just a slight bit louder than my earlier PS, nothing at all also bad at all just a tiny additional fan noise.

Comment:
Quiet, awesome running, and lower energy usage. Replaced a failing PSU with this one particular, and the power specifications dropped by 35 watts at boot, 15 at idle (as measured by a Kill-a-watt). Substantially, substantially quieter than the ฤ, four-year-old item it replaced. Just that it was ฟ less expensive the subsequent week, but I certainly do not hold that against NE. This is my third Pc to be powered by one of these. Two-plus years and going powerful on the very first one particular. The Pc this a single went into has five HDs, and an ancient AMD 1800+ chip.

-High Quality for a somewhat low expense, you can't beat it.-Stable!-Efficient!-Quiet!-Lots of connectors! No energy cord included, but that was not a con, i had tons of them lying about!
