Good buy, strong energy (though I have not had a chance to use a multimeter...) Absolutely nothing that stands out... Not modular... but it's only โ... lol

Comment:
Effortless to install. Pressure clip molex connections are wonderful not accidental unplugging. Bought to create a rig for 1 of my pals. None I would advocate this to anybody needing a 600w power supply.

Comment:
Low-cost. Quiet. Does the job. None Purchased this power supply simply because my old 1 was making noise(which commonly means that its about to die). Adore the look. Really like the number of SATA connects. And I have no complaints.

1. Usual NewEgg Rapidly shipping.two. Solution working fine as we speak.three. Plenty of connectors, can be utilized in IDE-only, SATA-only, and IDE/SATA combination PCs. None 1. You should have a couple of wire ties handy to clean up the additional connector wires so that they are not hanging loose in the case.2.

Low Price Only one PCI Express six pin connector, noisy. I bought this power provide to location in a COOLER MASTER Sileo 500 RC-500-KKN1-GP, a case developed to be 1 of the incredibly quietest on the marketplace. The case was an good worth with lots of sound-deadening material, but this PSU is the very likely the noisiest I have ever heard.

this is what u can get for this much dollars. passive PFC. one particular pci-e 6pin. cables can be a small longer

Comment:
It's Cooler Master, so I am betting it is a good product. The price tag point on this unit can't be beat. It has two 12v rails, more than voltage protection and a reasonable amount of connectors. With that said, there is only 1 video connector that comes with the unit - for excellent purpose. If you push an affordable model as well far, then noise and ripple are going to enhance - probably outside spec. A second video card, even a realitively lightweight 5770 for illustration, is going to pull more than 300 W for GPU alone. 300W is likely an perfect load to run on PSU like this, which is adequate to run most machines. I expect to be really pleased with mine.

Can't say. Dead On Arrival Returned and purchased an OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY which has been running just fine.

Comment:
works like a charm, doesn't make noise, has all the power you will need not modular, clutters up the case may well advise obtaining a modular psu if you plan on making use of lots of stuff

Currently making use of it in my i3/GIGABYTE GA-H55-USB3 make. No complications as of yet, powered on instantaneously and stayed on in the course of Windows 7 installation... if it continues like this from then onwards, I'm sold! None. I was initially going to go for a Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC 430W, but after I discovered out that it has ONLY 2 SATA power connectors stock, I quickly looked elsewhere... I mean come on, with this day and age of SATA becoming the norm, power supplies ought to have far more than just two SATA power connectors stock. This one has four SATA energy connectors stock, which provides me expansion possibilities without having possessing to resort to Y cables and such. All in all, an exceptional alternative for a mid-range build.

~Runs my setup. (In Other Thoughts) ~The fan appears to move out of location and begins hitting the sides. Sometimes it moves to far and becomes to loud that I have to shut down the Pc for it to cease. This has only not too long ago began to take place. So if you program on shopping for this make confident you won't be moving it a lot.

Based on where you read the voltages: solid. Has been operating for some time now powering a P5QPro, 4GB, two IDE opticals, two SATA HDD, HD4870, and myriad other stuff with no difficulties. Appears a very solid middle-road PSU. Feels light, but delivers decent voltages. Moved this PSU as I sold the base process it was running. Current system is AMD Athlon X2 5400+, four GB OCZ Platinum DDR2, Asus M3A78-CM. Prior HD4750, second SATA HDD, Second IDE CDROM had to be removed to boot stable. Onboard video, removal of other drives= stable.I have a different PSU handy that could power this rig, if not, I can get one particular.250W Co^&@( PSU powered this board, and periphs, excepting the vid 񤀀GT) with no probs. Began noticing some issues yesterday, and chkdsk noted some drive errors, but nonetheless got probs.Pull, clean, and reseat all other devices to MB, nonetheless got difficulties.I don\'t forget when no-name PSUs lasted for virtually as extended as I have been tinkering with computer systems (around 86)I will update assessment with final results from different PSU.I assume I bought this a single from Fr&^% locally, cuz I can't come across it on NE history.

Purchased it on Black Friday for ฤish soon after MIR. Replaced a 300w PSU to energy an HD4850. Worked fine for two months or so, no issues, quiet, nice black finish to go with darker cases. two-3 months later, upgrading to my own built Pc, can't deal with an i7 rig at stock. Checked the PSU closer to realize that this PSU will only actually run at 350-400watts rather than 500w. I had to remove half my fans, 2Ǚ of my RAM just to boot up.

Operating it with my old acer desktop. No difficulties so far. Nothing at all a lot

Comment:
It didn't blow out the motherboard BIOS or elements. Almost everything else. Don't be fooled by the wrapped cables on this PSU, it is cheap junk made in China. The fan started ticking months ago, and not too long ago failed entirely. I believed the ticking was from a case fan which is not critical so I let it go a whilst. Thank goodness my motherboard has a heat alarm so I became conscious before it was also late. I am within the two year warranty but telephone calls to the company offices in CA lead only to voicemail and nobody calls you back. E mail to the corresponding address also goes unanswered. Avoid this brand and go with Antec or OCZ. You can't afford to take chances with the PSU. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer,We apologize for any inconvenience.

It did its job for about 6 hours. Value. Solid casing. Variable fan speed. It failed to power up after two days. Sounds like there's a Boeing 747 parked and continually revving its turbine engine up and down in my room. Value went down 5 bucks a day soon after purchase. SATA power cables barely reached my HDDs and cable themselves are arranged much better for a bottom mount set up. My four year old Ultra X-Finity 500W with a dead fan is at the moment undertaking superior job than this thing. For these of you that wrote this PSU is very either have a hearing issue or never ever been close to a fairly PSU ahead of.

This issue is perfect. Very good high quality - and looks cool. The fan is very quiet. None. I've found my new beloved PSU brand.

Comment:
A PSU from a identified brand with a friendly price tag and a lot of output energy and connectors. I imply, a 500W PSU with far more than adequate output ports, for ฤ, it's a no-brainer. It's lighter than I'd anticipate from a 500W PSU, hence the 4 begin. But at least it's performing the job just fine. I'm only employing a four-core CPU at 95W, 8GB DDR3, a 5670 video card, a single HDD and one particular DVD so I guess I'm not seriously pushing its limits. As lengthy as it can support that setup, I will be content for quite some time.

Works and does what a PSU ought to. None

Not even the value see cons. Properly I just received my second PSU from the first one that went DOA then RMAed.Take a guess, I am paying 15 dollars again to send it back for something that still does not work (do the math). I am seeking somewhere else now. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Consumer,We apologize for any inconvenience.

What can you say about a PSU? It was uncomplicated to install and it powers my new video card. None so far.
