Sleek, extremely properly ventilated fast install (maybe five min), and all connections clearly marked, a lot of space (wire length) for most situations (i put it in a mid-tower) and has a lot of connections to satisfy most systems. Very QUIET! None But This replaced a PSU that was going poor, couldn't manage the draw from a SATA, think client just in no way aired out her personal computer - had a complete village of dust bunnies in this case. Extremely easy to swap, every thing fit excellent in gateway tower! Amazing (as usual) transaction from NewEgg!

Quiet operation, supplies a lot of power. 1 thing I like about the Cooler Master power supplies is how their output stays consitent. Only a 500 watts ps... not truly a con if that is all you need I was on a spending budget so had to make a few sacrifices.

Its very and great! It came with all the cables I required and with a converter for the video card as well. I had it for three years and my PC was 24ǝ running. The reason I gave it four stars is that it surged right after 3 years but fortunately nothing else did in my machine. But I think this is normal!!!! I had prior PS that surge right after a year or so. The reality it surged!

Upgraded from 9800gt. See a lot of improvements. i can run the crysis demo now and get high frame rates. battle field negative business 2 looks seriously very good and plays effectively. BulletStorm operating extremely well. Basically its a major improvement none so far

Light? In fact that is probably a con. Does not come with very properly bundled cables like Corsair...but for this price it was expected. What was not expected was for it to just not work at all. I spent properly more than 7 hours tinkering with my new pc trying to figure out why my power button was not working. In the back of my mind I was afraid it was a dead power supply or motherboard. Finally I got the guts to steal the power supply from my fiance's computer and attempt it out...personal computer fired up proper away. So I knew it was my PSU that was DOA. This thing is light and affordable, don't waste your time. Thank you Newegg for getting awesome and taking my RMA at no expense. They get 5 eggs. It is why I like doing small business at Newegg.

Good price, quiet. Didn't last a year in a minimal duo-core construct that runs fine on a 350W supply. This is the last Cooler Master PS for me. for an additional ษ, I could have bought a genuine 1 that will last for years.

PriceNoise(or lack thereof) My mother board has 24 pins. I connected the 20 pin connector and the 4 pin connector to my mother board..and it started shutting down for no apparent reason.I removed the four pin connector...and have had no issues due to the fact. I bought this to energy my ATI 5770 graphics card...and it does the trick.When I fire the personal computer up, there is a loud wooshing at first....but then as the system posts up....it quiets down considerably.Its a excellent acquire for the right price 8-)

Decent price immediately after rebates, which brought it below thirty bucks. This has a poor ground. After installing in the system, there was a constant buzz coming from the sound card. Putting the old supply back resolved the problem. I've because purchases an OCZ 500 watt power supply, which performs as expected. I originally purchased this to replace the p.s. in my residence theater PC. The bad ground made that strategy unworkable. For under 30 bucks (after rebates) this is okay to maintain as a back up. I have 6 computers in the home, and you never ever know when a power supply is going belly up! Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Consumer - We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Hooked this correct up and worked fine. Unplugged one cord at a time from old supply and plugged in the 1 with the new supply. none

Replaced 305 watt stock Energy Supply in Dell E-521 personal computer so I could use a video card rated for a 350 watt energy supply. According to Dell any off the shell PS should workin E521. The Cool Master fit fine in the case but only two of the mounting screw holes would match up with the case (Upper Left, Lower Appropriate). This was not an problem as the PS was firmly mounted to the case with the two screws. The PS has plenty of connectors and cable length would be ok for a mid size case but not anything bigger. Seemed to be a top quality PS unit. Worked fine on 1st attempt! Newegg was not cheapest and charged for shipping ....... Not modular but I knew this in advance.

Comment:
Great price on sale plus rebate and more than adequate power for my develop with a GA-MA785GM-US2H mother board, and so on. none yet For those that received this PSU dead in the water, I believed mine was dead too. Then I noticed that the 115롴V switch was not all the way over to the 115V side. Flipped the switch all the way and it's been absolutely nothing but cruising ever since.

Comment:
Good Energy Supply really easy to install and thegreatest part Incredibly Incredibly Rather.you also get 4 SATA plugs as properly most PS only have two Have not identified any but. Fits best in my Dell Inspiron 530 tower Case.

Comment:
Cheep 500w power supply. Kinda light, which tells me that it isn't as great as many others I have owned.Cables are too brief to do excellent cable management.Wish it would have been modular, but for the price it isn't bad If your going for a cheep 500w energy supply, but this 1. If you want a superior 1 but a modular 1 and in all probability additional that 500w.I only bought it due to the fact I needed 1 and it came in a combo deal with a case I was getting.

Comment:
Quite nice, has everything you require. I got it marked off plus บ mail-in rebate so it was terrific on a budget. None

Comment:
works genuinely well to maintain my computer powered, has been working fine for over a year and a half. the PCI-express 6 pin power cord didn't appear to work and had to use the converter ƒ-4pin to 6 pin) that came with the graphics card.

Silent cooling fanextremely good cost for 500 watts had to rma the initially psu do to a electrical ticking noise coming from the wall connector contacted coolermaster and they had been additional than pleased to replace considering that i was nonetheless in the newegg warranty period i went with them even although i had to rma the product newegg did a fantastic job also have to say cooler master's customer service was great all in all i give it 4 eggs just because i had to do the rma the top quality is quite superior on the working unit and haven't had any difficulties since

Comment:
It does what it is built to do. Utilised this to power a 555BE that has been unlocked to a 955 BE with two tough drives and a DVD burner and a few case fans. No stability issues thus far. Hit and miss reputation of this unit. Time will tell. For 20 bucks soon after mail in rebate it is a hard value to beat.If it works it is not junk, but it is not as reliable as other greater end goods.

Works good. Quiet. Stays cool. Plenty of amps on the 12volt rails for all but the biggest graphic cards. Minor gripe. Not all the cables are sleeved.

Comment:
Good PSU. Powers My new 9800gtx+ With ease. Primarily why i got this PSU. Wish it came with an additional PCI express connector. Black mesh on all the wires would have been nice.As some have also said the 4+ pin on the MOBO connector does not have a clip to secure it but really should be fine.
