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

Comment:
Plenty of connectors No energy cord. Just about the funniest factor I've noticed - Going green suggests you don't get a power cord - Recycle your old one particular they say - save some electricity though you burn up gas to drive to the retailer to obtain 1.

Very good price tag, is quiet and performs specifically as described. It was in a position to power a sata tricky disk effectively, that my preceding PSU seemed to not be able to get adequate juice to. I like that it is supposed to be energy effecient, though I'm not sure how to verify that it is indeed correct. none

A lot of energy cables neatly wrapped in a sleeves. Great hunting black paint. none Extremely high good quality power supply.

Comment:
Great connector count. Connections for older legacy hardware is a plus when piecing together a Computer from misc parts None so far

Comment:
Anything is fine from the unit. No complications with installation. The fan is LOUD! Maybe it is defective, but it can be heard from 30' away.

Comment:
Totally challenge-free. I by no means have difficulty with Antec. None.

Low price for a method that doesn't need significantly power. Simple to install. Liked that it doesn't have A different power cord when it's replacing a unit that I have a power cord from still. None. My parents asked me to support them construct a new personal computer right after theirs quit operating during a poor storm. We began by replacing the power supply and that was all it took. Storm have to have burnt it up. Install was uncomplicated. Just took some unplugging from the old psu and the replugging into the new psu. Pc works as effectively as just before and it didn't expense a couple of thousand dollars to replace. Happy Parents! :)

Like all my antec psu's, this thing just operates and functions nicely. Same value as the cheapies, but the high quality of an Antec. UPS manufactuers are slow to supply compatible units. Cyberpower is the only reasonably priced selection with their triangle waveform units.

My second Antec PSU - had to get a new one particular simply because the old 1 didn't do PCI-e or SATA.It most likely saved my new system by shutting down when I plugged a USB thumb drive into a case port that was wired backwards (seriously, red for ground and black for ƳV? wth ).I was also pleasantly shocked to locate that it didn't add yet yet another power cord to my box-o'-cables in the garage. Yeah, you could make the argument that Antec's cheaping out by not which includes one, but I feel Newegg customers already have the industry cornered on these cords. It didn't climb out of the box and install itself. Effortlessly powering a typical Athlon II X3 create (unlocked to four cores) with a GTX460.

Does what it is suppose to do. I used this to make a pfsense box with a mini itx motherboard. No issues Not modular, but the item didn't say it was. So I guess truly (None) This is a normal power I built a pfsense box in a 2U case with a Crystalfontz 635 LCD display and two.five" 120GB 2 Gbit Port Intel NIC/ two Gbit NICs on motherboard. I'm quite pleased with final results!

- Very Quiet- Outstanding amount of connectors considering it's only a 380W PSU- Cool Army Green color- Handled a decent quantity of parts fine with no hiccups- Antec reliability - No cable sheathing- 380 Watts I'm an IT guy at a University and we needed a new build for 1 of our medical departments. The technique has all new components but nothing fancy in the video department so I figured this would be a good quiet fit for that variety of rig. It worked to perfection, having all the adapters I could possibly need (generous 4pins and 6 pins) and was really quiet. Cables were also extended enough that the PSU getting in the bottom of the case raised no troubles what-so-ever. Antec, awesome as usual.跴 (using combos)Antec Three Hundred Case|Antec 380W Earthwatts PSU|Asus M4A88TD USB3 Motherboard|Athlon X2 250ӚGB Mushkin DDR3 1333|WD 250GB 7200RPM HD|Asus 24x DVDR Drive|Windows 7 Enterprise

Runs cool and super quiet. Plenty sufficient power to run most rigs, even has PCIE for a high end video card. Vents from front to back so assists to cool my mobo when mounted on the case bottom. (apposed to pulling in air from under the chassis). Wires a bit tangled and only the main 24 pin cable is sheathed, so wire management is not extremely fairly. But hey, it's not modular so can't expect also considerably right here.

This power provide is such a great value for what you get. The first thing I have to say is how insanely quiet this power provide is. It's quieter than the Silent 9 TC 92mm program fan I have in my personal computer. It feels quite durable with plenty of air to flow in from the back. The air that blows out the back is constantly cool so it's really good at cooling itself. A lot of connections. I'm operating a SATA difficult drive, a DVD/CD Burner, 4GB of dual channel DDR3 1066 RAM, AMD Athlon II X2 255, Radeon HD 4350 and it handles all that with out a issue. The cabling was not too terribly challenging to tie up for unused connections. 80 Plus BRONZE guarantees you can run your technique all day for much less funds. None at all. If you're looking to go affordable on a power provide, please don't. All these power supplies inside ฤ-ฮ have such mixed reviews for the most component. With this, you're receiving a top quality power provide that is very unlikely to die and take your other pc parts with it. Confident, there's no power cord but I applied mine I've had for 3 years and there have been no troubles.

Very quiet.Stable voltages.Lowe power consumption.ANTEC high quality. Not for high-power systems 鶼W). If you want additional, get the larger wattage version. I utilized my kill-a-watt to figure out the distinction in power consumption compared to the CHEAPO no-name 500w PSU I was using. Power consumption was about 15 watts less at idle and just more than 32 watts much less under load with specifically the exact same hardware other than the PSU! Other evaluations say this point is loud, but those customers ought to have a defective unit or dog ears. I had to place my head right subsequent to it to even hear ANY noise at all. It is by far the absolute quietest power supply (with a fan) I have ever heard. I use this in my new HTPC for video and listening to music on my B&W monitors, so I wanted to get my noise level as low as doable for the best achievable sound. The PSU and CPU (zalman silent cooler) are the only fans in the personal computer. Now the noisiest issue in the computer system at idle is the (WD green 1tb) tricky drive. I have to strain to hear the Computer running from 5 feet away. Quality product Antec. Extremely happy!

-High Good quality for a relatively low expense-Stable-Efficient-Quiet-Highly effective enough for most applications -Type of a funny greenish blackish color?-mesh about the wires would make it nicer, but not expected at this worth range I have utilized this power supply in quite a few of my laptop or computer builds, easily far more than 30 or 40, and have yet to have 1 fail or hiccup. (knock on wood) This power Supply has sufficient juice for about 90% of individuals's setup. Unless you have far more than five total Challenging/Optical Drives and have ultra high powered video cards, this will be enough. An AMD X6 or Intel i7 with a mainstream video card will be fine with this unit in almost all situations. In a comprehensive test of this power supply, it was in fact stable up to 500 watts! It is only rated at 380, because above 380 it is no longer 80% effective.For higher finish builds, Antec's Neo series is excellent, and for simple builds, Antec Basiq is reputable. This functions excellent for anything in among.

It came with Antec case I bought two years ago. It' a decent PSU and I didn't think considerably about it till final week. Hear this, people, it powers ASUS P5Q board, Q6600, and a GEFORCE 460, 4 gb RAM, 1 HDD, and two fans. How's that a for 380w PSU? None I have Both my Q6600 and Geforce 260 operating at 100% 24ǝ for 2 days straight to test my system (folding@home). It's rock solid. I'm certain it can manage a couple additional HHDs too.

Comment:
Extremely quiet, stable, effective. Cables are longer than important. The cables are really lengthy on this unit. Luckily I was installing in a full ATX case and had space to coil them up. This is the 4th 1 of these I have purchased over the final year. They all are operating wonderful in productivity Pc builds.

Comment:
Quiet, reliable so far No energy cord included. Purchased this energy supply for my 1st new develop and was expecting it to involve a energy cord. I had a cord so it didn't hold me back, but none of the build it your self web-sites that recoomended this PS mentioned that it didn't include a cord.

Comment:
Energy efficient. Strong construction. The correct quantity of the suitable cables at mainly the correct length. Would like to see longer MB power cables for those of us with bottom-mount energy supplies. I just purchased a second 1 of these for a good friends entry level gaming rig. The prior a single i purchased was for my daughters entry level gaming rig more than a year ago. Hers has noticed heavy use, powering a radeon 5770+quad core cpu+standard elements, and has performed completely and quietly 100% day in and day out due to the fact it was assembled. When it came time to order my buddies' new rig, I did not hesitate to acquire this once more.

Comment:
Excellent PSU. Extremely quiet. I truly had to look behind the computer system to make confident the fan was operating. Extremely quiet! None so far. I have had it for small a lot more than a week now! I wish Antec had a 300W version of the PSU. I don't will need a 380 W PSU as the sum total of my CPU + MOBO + HDD + and so on + etc sums up to only about 200W. So a 300 or sub 300W PSU with high efficiency.

Comment:
This power supply is really quiet. I couldn't tell my machine was on when I powered it up due to the fact it is so quiet. None, great product. I heard that it might get louder when you demand additional power; on the other hand, I haven't heard the fans kick in at all. It's created for low power consumption and is great for my needs to make a NAS server.

Comment:
- 80 PLUS Bronze at a fantastic cost - assuming there are no difficulties with the rebate.- Lots and lots of connectors.- Quiet - Lots and lots of connectors ;-) Was undoubtedly overusing my prior power provide, but now my 9800GT is operating smoothly and my program is quieter than ever!

Comment:
Very quiet. Heavy, implying good good quality components. 80% efficient. Sufficient enough connectors for any demands, extended adequate. Affordable for this level of good quality. Not modular. Bought it for a house server, no power-sucking video cards. This is a fantastic PSU for average or modest systems with video cards under a hundred dollars or so.

Comment:
a lot of power for straightforward requirements, almost silent None Employing this psu in a server to power 6 hard drives, athlon x2 cpu and 5 fans

Comment:
Particularly quiet, 80+ Certified, High High quality, enough connectors for the type of system it is meant for. Depending on deal, it can be acquired at a good price. Cords are long sufficient to reach all locations I needed them to. Its 380W so you know what you are acquiring into. Don't over load. I didn't discover that in "features" it says it doesn't ship with a energy cord when I purchased it, so it is stated. Not shipping with a energy cord is in all probability fine for 99.9% of those who have a pc and is obtaining this as a replacement/upgrade.
