I've had nothing at all but very good reviews from shoppers concerning this processor. It's been operating fine 24ǝ on a construct right here at the workplace for probably two months, with no hangups or something. I'd say that's pretty darn very good for a processor in this cost range (and with the rebate, it's a steal!) None to mention. :) Finest affordable-PSU you can acquire (that I've found, anyways). Coolmax's failure rate has been steadily declining more than the final couple years (I utilized to not get something beneath 700W from them), but I'd possibly go as low-grade as 350W now, and not be troubled.

Wires are great and neat. Generally quiet Poor consumer service dept.Don't even feel your receiving the rebate. I have acquire a number of of these and had 1 fail inside the initial month

It supplies power. If you have an older ATX-style motherboard, examine it before purchasing. This PS has the newer-style connector for the MB with 4 further pins. Generally you can just let these further hang over the edge, but you may have other connectors or memory in the way. Be sure there's further space on the side of the connector.

It turns on. Really shiny! Dual 12v rails makes it worth it. Functions well on my 20pin motherboard. It has not exploded and burnt down my property. Seems light (feather weight) Wire leads are not long (but extended adequate)and not enough of them. Hold it simple on how several connections you make. It seems to work truly nicely in my son's "very power hungry" system. Running a pentium D 805 @ 3.4ghz with a X1900XT (overclocked to 700몆) and two gigs of DDR1 (PC3200). Not hot??? *wow* my old thermaltake 480w purepower would shut down when it the load was just as well a lot. The dual rails give it an benefit over other el'cheapo energy supplies. Very good buy! Fantastic NEWEGG!

I'm utilised to power supplies that come pre-bundled with situations. I've built several cases and the pre-bundled energy supplies seem to function fine. I did just not too long ago shed the energy supply in a program I constructed 3 or 4 years ago. This is much better than a price range cases pre-installed energy supply. It has a braided cover for the cables and has plenty of connectors. None however

its quiet. Arrive in 3 days. Wish it had at least 1 additional SATA power plug to it. I required this for my Pc so I bought this one particular because I already had 1 specifically the identical currently from a different organization. Did a burn in by leaving it on for three days straight & so far no fire.

Stable power supply. Slightly noisy, but I've heard worse.

I really received income for this PSU... immediately after bundle, instant, and MIR, I will get paid ŭ for purchasing this PSU. Almost everything else. Quite Extremely lightweight. Due to the fact I got it for free, I voided my "warranty" and cracked open the situation. Internals are incredibly affordable. Thin heatsinks, only 1 capacitor per voltage rail (should be at least two). No way this issue is truly rated for 400 watts. Cables are incredibly short, and really lightweight. I like the uncomplicated-release molex connectors, but the wiring is just too flimsy for a psu rated at 400 watts. I'm going to use this to power bare motherboards for testing. Hopefully it'll be okay with just that tiny load on it. I plan on replacing the internal capacitors on the output side with high-quality low-esr sort. The input caps are Chemi-con, so they should be fine... but the two of them are only rated at 330uf... not much!!!

Works fantastic, stays cool and quiet. None. It's a power supply and it functions as it ought to.

Operates great for me.More than 6 months and it is working good. Sata tough drives, middle of road video card, p4 3. prescott and other goodies, no issue. Fan is way to loud. I changed the fan and put in a fundamental 80mm fan. Also place in a fan mate 2 to drop the rpm a tiny. What a distinction. Runs cool,quiet and 10 buck rebate was no issue.

- Initially it was Ok- Affordable. But you get what you paid. Output capacitors is also small and get overheated.Lastly soon after 2 years output capacitors dried out and systemgets unstable. dont obtain

Operates well 1st one particular recieved DOA, Newegg was excellent on return.

Comment:
easy to install. cable lengths very good. none as long as it keeps operating I'll be fine wonderful deal for the cost.

Comment:
It operates and it's low-cost The fan is really loud. I bought this to replace a dead HP energy supplying in a media center pc. The fan is so loud I will have replace the energy supply once more.

Comment:
No troubles so far, BUT... I'm only operating one dvd drive and one tough drive plus the mobo off of it. Heavier load may generate the outcomes listed beneath in the other reviews. None so far, operating well. I didn't want to get an obviously trash energy provide, but my price range wouldn't let me splurge on a genuinely nice a single either, so I consider there is some threat in this a single. Hopefully my application of it will turn out nicely.

Comment:
For the price, cant go wrong.Had no issues none not high end PS but excellent for that second pc

Comment:
Exceptional price for the kind of unit. Nonetheless, had my expectations high for this item. Replaced an old, quite very good 150W (that still operates following 4 years) that came with my pc mainly because of upgrades. Computer beginning turning off at boot, found out ecaps were burned. Only had it for 1 year!
