1) Every single power cord mixture you can envision. Every thing fits quite, very properly - as if the bundles had been custom created without having any sloppy excess.two) Power supply is steady and no lag concerns at all. I OC my i7-920 (to three.4GHz), fire dual video cards, and spin six-HDs effortlessly. Some of my video rendering requires about 70 minutes of intensive (as in 100%) CPU resources and 9GB of memory in use. My butterfly door case has a total of 6-fans, plus a monster CPU cooler. All of this is a huge energy drain, expecially when OCing. Nonetheless, no challenges with this PS.I like this PS a lot ... except for ... Minus 2 eggs: Yeppers - the infamous fan issue. Mine was fairly for about 5 months then started sounding like a loose spoon beating around in a clothing dryer. I can't inform you how annoying that sound is. I removed the PS and wire screen. The fans seemed fine and I reinstalled the PS. All was great for about an hour. Removed and replaced - similar drill. This time it was fine for about a month.I did something related to a earlier reviewer: I sprayed a tiny amount of silicon spray down the fan shaft and let the PS set overnight. I reassembled in the AM and installed. No challenges in the final six-weeks. Why can't this business repair a thing as basic as a fan? Amazing! This PS is a reasonable value and performs effectively for me. The fan is quirky and troublesome. Primarily based on several critiques listed prior to mine, it seems as if you could get a 2-6 months of reasonable fan life prior to it begins raising heck. I would now go with a different manufacturer - at least till they repair this issue.

Worked excellent for 15 months. Acquiring a hideous fan noise as was described by other users. Took the grill of the fan, played with it a bit and the noise went away for a handful of days and now it is back. I am preparing for the fan to die and the PS to be replaced. I'm going to attempt and speak to the manufacturer and see what they can do for me. However, I have to order a new PSU in the meantime. I just can't danger any downtime or this thing damaging any of my other components.

My friend purchased a extremely comparable psu from rosewill and place a 2900xt on it. the psu smoke within an hour. In that case what was needed was about a 700w single rail psu. but you reside and you discover. you can split the rails extremely nicely on this with minimal effort so that you wont smoke it. just know what you got

runs cool like a pro. the modular design has helped to hold unnecessary wires out of my new rig, a large plus because I added an Nvidia GTS 250 and want all the space I can get the directions in the manual were a tiny vague as to how to use some of the connectors....but it wasn't a massive difficulty. new rig, new PS, no difficulties.

worked properly for very first six months. I have had approx. six months and here comes a good grinding fan noise. Worked excellent for me but now I cant take it. Now that I have looked at the one star critiques it all tends to make sence. Really should have spent a tiny much more cash.

affordable worked fine for about the very first three months or so. then began receiving the intermittent clanking noise other individuals are complaining, but at the time it was no huge deal. rapid forward another 6 months and the point was clanking a lot more than it wasnt. constantly sounded like it was going to shell out at any time. i was going to do RMA to coolmax but was told it would take upwards of 1 week to get the PSU back. rather than waste my time and end up receiving the identical model back, which would most likely have the identical precise challenge, i went and purchased a corsair hx750w and couldn't be happier. if you're looking to save some cash now, recognize in the lengthy run it's almost certainly going to end up costing a lot more. shell out the extra โ-75 now and be happier in the lengthy run

cant actually list any due to my difficulty with this item burning smell, significant method instability, fan failure, broken pins, im just glad it didn't burn my board up began off ok, but within a month was causing stability challenges. following lately adding a raid array to my technique, the fan died, and the psu will randomly shut down for the duration of even mild loads due to heat. I replaced the fan, but the psu just will not run stable. also the power output is nowhere near the advertised variety, roughly around 600, dropping to 400. I urge any readers to acquire a greater good quality energy provide.

Modular, with nice extended cables. Not even close to 950w. A lot of overview websites state closer to 650w (maybe that a lot but I doubt it). This unit runs too hot when only powering two GTX260s, and cant even furnish enough to energy three GTX260s . I have a 650W unit from a different MFG that does energy three gtx260s but was running warmer than I liked so I got this. Massive Error. Guess I learned my lesson on this and will get a significantly superior brand of energy supply that essentially delivers the energy that it is rated at. Must have study all the reviews right here and believed them. Coolmax requirements to double check their output on these. Dont think claims of 950W verify out overview internet sites very first then commit you funds on greater line of PSU.No excuse for this . Would give zero eggs if feasible

Worked excellent for two years. Modular cables imply optimal airflow. Soon after two years the 3.3v rail drops swiftly while gaming and my technique reboots. I've observed cheap energy supplies final for years and years. An costly one like this must nevertheless be kicking properly into its third year. But this one doesn't. Thank you Asus Probe for helping me figure out why my pc was spontaneously rebooting.

Performs, Powers my two 9800GTX+'s, Doesn't catch on fire? Incredibly negative energy ripples above 650W. At 700W he efficiency is extremely negative. I can\'t overclock my Q6600 G0 stepping Core 2 Quad to anything previous two.six GHz due to the fact of the bad power fluctuations in the 3.3v, 5V and two of the 12V Rails. Fan gets loud...... This is my 2nd PSU from coolmax. I had to RMA the initial one mainly because it crapped out on me following four months of operation. They really need to do some function on this PSU. I read reviews at johnnyguru.com, and the evaluation showed that this PSU is precisely the very same as the 700W model but, worse efficency, negative energy fluctuations, and the reality that the only difference among the 700W model and the 950W model here is a tiny Transistor on the control board. It's not worth the 160 bukcs for this PSU. Go acquire a Corsair PSU for the similar dollars with a greater efficency rating with much more power for your systems. Manufacturer Response:Hello,We can not handle overclocked CPU's power drawing from the energy supply. It will draw more power. The cons is that it will be hot and your fan is forced to be at higher speed all the time which leaves your fan vulnerable to damages.Please comprehend that motherboard also have energy conversion of its own that is also vulnerable.Need to you have other concerns, please contact tech@coolmaxusa.comRegards,Coolmax Support

I've been utilizing this PSU considering that October 28th of 2008 and have in no way had an issue. I am running a Intel E8500 O/C'd to 3.60ghz and two 8800GT's in SLI all off an EVGA board. Practically nothing... but. Very concerned following reading several reviews that claim faulty products received - I may well replace with an Antec down the road just to be safe...

The value for all this PSUs features can't be beat at the existing costs. The connectivity alternatives are vast. Every little thing is packaged quite effectively and the excellent of this solution appears wonderful. No dumb lights!!!! None. The cables are extremely stiff and routing this in your case can be tricky. But this is not a terrible issue as stiff cables implies greater top quality wires and thus a larger high quality develop.

I bought this in July and its nevertheless going fine. This PSU is near silent and produces small heat compared to my 4 previous PSUs. Its modular design and style also helps with wire management and it supplies sufficient power to run six difficult drives, a GTX 295, a Cooler Master V10 CPU cooler, an intel i7 and 6 GBs of ram. All of this for a decent value. I can't assume of anything, almost everything worked straight out of the box and has been able to manage all of my hardware flawlessly for 6 months so far.

It was practically nothing to write residence about but it was just a regular energy provide. It was able to run my complete tower crammed complete of goodies to numerous for me to sit and list. My pc is on 24ǝ so it only lasted about 5,040 hours. To me it was loud it was all I could hear running my my unit. I just placed a order for the new CORSAIR CMPSU-750HX. Manufacturer Response:Hello,24ǝ use of computers stresses all parts of the system unless you are operating a server with server power supplies intended for 24ǝ. Stressing all components of the technique commits continuous power specifications and the thermal sensor will act on cooling the energy provide to high speed on fans. These fans are all ball bearing extended life quality fans and will certainly make dba waves on higher speed.We apologize for the inconvenience. Regards,CoolMax Help

Keeps up a lot of power so far so great, the modular aspect is something various then what i was previously utilised to. If i stand my tower up this PSU makes a hell of a Fan grinding noise, did that because day one particular. If its on its side its quiet like how its supposed to. Study a few other testimonials with peeps having the very same challenge. Could want to take a look into that Maft. Was quite jacked although regardless, if i sent it back i would have no power in the imply time. Other then the fan grinding it does what it is supposed to.

This is a extremely excellent energy supply. The modular cables are all colour coded, for ease of use. The connectivity really produced for basic installation. The cables are extended adequate to connect to all elements if mounting the at the leading or bottom of the case. The aesthetic cable appearance is amazing for a personal computer case that has a clear side. It supplys enough energy for the most agressive gaming configurations. The manual is written poorly, but fairly understandable. It only has a single fan, there is no motherboard fan handle, or temperature monitoring. There is only 1 fan, an intake fan, I would have designed it with an exhaust fan as nicely (as a backup). There is no connection available to connect to the motherboard to monitor temperature or adjust fan speed. While the cables look fantastic, the actual power provide box is extremely easy, a cool sticker, fan lighting, and so forth. would push this power provide into to the need to have catagory.

Worked fine for about 5 months. Modular cables keep the case clean. Nice searching black finish and mesh style. Quiet. Lead absolutely free. Cables are stiff. Plugs are a small tough to use. Began creating a clicking sound then overheated about a month later. RMAd so we'll see about the new one particular. Worked great hopefully new a single doesnt fail. Im a small nervous adding a second 4870 making use of this PSU on the other hand. It has the power but will it hold up.

Great energy to expense ration. Modular design makes for easy clean setup. System had lockup concerns from the start, but in no way connected it to power instability. Soon after five months of use its barely putting out enough energy to spin up four SATA tough drives at once. Wont energy a motherboard.. doesnt even place out enough to energy 2 PCIe cards. Assistance has been terrible thus far. Initial request for help brought fast response, but have but to hear of a final resolution. five Days and no make contact with.. Pathetic!

It was affordable and has every single plug that you could need to have. It was straightforward to set up as most PS are. The wires you don't need you can just leave in box and wire are extended sufficient for my HAF 932 case. I had no challenge with clearance. None so are! Not truly the energy supplies fault but still can only play Crysis at medium res. I thought the other reviewers that said this PS was quiet were exaggerating but It is incredibly quiet the two 320mm case fans I have and the two 120mm CPU fans are louder than this PS. It is clean and none of thoughts dame lights. I adore it.

The very best energy provide I have ever owned.Stable as hell and constantly in the plus on the different rails,not like my older 680watt ps. When I very first turned it on it had a terrible hitting sound like some thing was becoming hit by the fan.Referred to as tech and the said with a 3 year warenty that they would relace it any time.I onscrewed a couple screws and did some bending of the fan guard and all is silent and nicely This ps is so stable that I cant beleive it
