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

Comment:
Great worth on sale. Can't hear the PSU fan more than the HD and stock HSF on my Athlon II X2 245. Not as well a lot of cables and not also extended for my 10 year old mid tower case. Very good mix of PATA and SATA connectors. None.

No spikes ɬ.2V, no overheating, and extremely Quiet. What else could you ask for? Also 80+ bronze at 380W which is a rarity for confident. Have employed for a year and no difficulties. Want they had additional 80+ silver/gold at the reduced wattages to evaluate to. Still, a good deal It doesn't come with a power cord for in fact plugging the unit in, but honestly, they are omnipresent in today's world. Just reuse the 1 you had prior to

Steady, Fantastic top quality construct, Affordable, Quiet sufficient Not ultra quiet, I purchased two of these 1 for myself and yet another for my friend and they are rock strong as well as cost-effective. I assume they're actually built by Seasonic which makes extremely excellent quality psus. The cooling fan is quiet but not very as quiet as some other psu's due to the smaller size but for me I don't actually mind all that much. For about the 40 dollar range it's a fantastic deal as a lot of other brands in that variety areof poor high quality. I run a Phenom X4 955 and a ATI 4830 and have no issues regarding power when I game or do CPU intensive tasks. It need to be noted however that I have the 95 watt version of the 955.

Effective, lots of connectors for most systems. It's an Antec. I purchased 1 of these for my buddy's computer a couple of months ago when the fan in his (several year old) existing 350 watt Antec failed and it's been performing good ever because. However I can\'t say the exact same issue for one more program described beneath. Poor failure rate. I am an Antec fan (no pun intended) but I've now had two out of three failures for this model. Quick failure, no less.At ฟ-ภ shipping for each and every RMA I most likely won't even send back the 2nd poor a single. Recently a client had a power supply fail in a Dell Inspiron 531. This P/S was nonetheless on sale for approx. 30% off so I promptly ordered it. Upon arrival I installed it and powered up the computer and anything seemed to be functioning fine. The subsequent day I took it back to the client and upon plugging it in it wouldn't even POST. No beeps, no lights, nothing at all. I brought the system back and checked it with an old energy provide (the previously described a single with the poor fan) and it powered up just fine. Newegg was extremely quick to authorize an RMA so it was shipped back (ภ out of my pocket). A week or two later the replacement arrived by way of UPS so I unpacked it and installed it in the computer system. Plugged it in, Absolutely nothing. No sign of life. Although checking wires and connections it momentarily lit up the energy LED which promptly went back out. Far more troubleshooting, then reconnected that OLD Antec and it's operating once again. They're right--it's effective--it makes use of NO electrical energy at ALL when it's dead.

Its sitting in my brand new case right now and man it is decent. It's quiet, its green and its beastly ;D. Its good to know that I can hit more than 400 watts with this guy. no power cord, but its no large deal. I have my own just from my preceding PSU. Its green hehe

No problems with this supply so far (owned for about three months). Runs extremely quiet although idle and noise is extremely acceptable under heavy load. Note, it doesn't come with a cord to plug the supply into a wall outlet. I had about six extras just taking up space, so I located this to be a pro. I was worried this provide could not place out the power needed to run my old/wife's computer, nevertheless, no challenges even under heavy load with the following main specsɆ.4GHz core2Duo3 sticks of DDR2 800 MHz8800 GTS320 GB HD

80 Plus Bronze certified. Antec good quality. Appropriate size and capacity for this particular create. 8 pin cpu energy connection. (it is at times challenging to tell whether or not a PSU has the eight pin despite the fact that now-a-days they all must) Quiet design and style with a single 80mm rear discharge fan with a chrome grill. The case is properly constructed with a nice matted dark green finish. None This develop: Gigabyte MA785GM motherboard. AMD Athlon II three.two dual core regor 65 watt processor. WD 500GB Cavier Black. four GB of GSkill Dual channel 1066 DDR2 memory. It's a straightforward make that performs excellently with Win7 64 bit

Really quiet and effective, powers two tough drives and 4 peripherals. This is one effective green power supply. None so far Excellent cost, straightforward install

Comment:
-I like the efficiency.-There had been ample power connectors. Even though I installed this in an older laptop or computer (circa 2003) that required the old school sort, there were a lot. The extra 4 pins on the primary board connection were simple to get out of the way too.-It's quiet. -It didn't very fit. The bits projecting from the rear didn't quite match the cutout on my old Compaq Presario S6010V. I was in a position to screw it in sufficient although.-As an additional reviewer noted, there is a substantial pitched sound. On the other hand, soon after I closed the case it was inaudible.

Runs cool, quiet, but what i was seriously satisfied with the fact it didn't give off the impression of getting poorly constructed. It looks and feels like a well built power provide. None (Yes it doesn't come with a power cord, but that ought to be the least of anyones concern when searching for a top quality piece of gear such as this) I'm going to use this power provide on every single technique I develop, Except for systems with mid-high finish graphics. This PSU will cover any normal program with ease, very good specs on the 12V+. Thank you for generating a PSU I can ultimately put some faith into.

Nice PSU. Plenty of power for HTPC. Very quiet and stable power. Not modular

Comment:
Only higher-finish systems will will need far more than this PSU. I use these all the time. 80+ Bronze for efficiency, really quiet, excellent length on cables. Unsleeved cables, but for this price tag, no major deal. No power cord, which also isn't truly a con simply because that truth is advertised. I in all probability have at least a single other review of this PSU on here; just saying it remains my primary selection for most systems I develop that are not higher-finish gamers.

- More than adequate power for most computer systems.- High quality- Really quiet- Low-cost- Effective- Excellent assortment of connectors, such as an EPS12V power connector. - Cables are not modular.- Unusual green color does not match with the color scheme of very quite a few circumstances. This is the PSU that most people with a regular ATX/micro-ATX-sized situation and a normal single CPU with a decent GPU setup would want to get. This is a single of the lowest-priced top quality PSUs out there and you will will need to commit substantially a lot more to get a unit that is noticeably far better. It has plenty of energy for something short of a heavily-overclocked technique with a high-end GPU or a dual-CPU workstation with a higher-end GPU or a big disk array. I use it for a dual Xeon LV HTPC/media server and it fits that function perfectly.

A excellent excellent item so far. I also feel the fan is a bit loud when running at 200 watts or so. At idle wattage it is quiet. Also have not received rebate after ten weeks. Google antec rebate dilemma and come across that their rebate provider business went bankrupt. Not our difficulty Antec. JEEZ. Go locate the paperwork you saved (I hope) and submit it once again through e-mail. Guidelines at: www.antec.com/rebate.html

Affordable, so far it is performing properly, it has been installed for about two weeks None so far

Great apparent high quality. Lengthy cables. Kind of has a thick bomb-proof paint on it that would be hard to scratch and gives a nice touch. Quite quiet. It has a very strong / quality really feel to it when you choose it up. I'm back into builds again after a 10 year hiatus. I caught this with a combo deal. When I went buying for video cards I was a tiny taken back that everyone wanted 400 to 450 PSUs for the level I was considering (nVidia 450 or 5670 and above). I said what the heck and got an eVGA 450 anyway and it has been rock strong. In this regard I type of wish I got the 500W version, but can't ding an egg for my ignorance. My new develop -- my last a single was likely a P3 800 or some thing. :) I'm coming from a Dell P4 3G so it is really a step up.Asus 870 MB; Phenom II X2 560 unlocked to 4 cores and auto overclocked to three.five; 2x2GB Adata; Vital RealSSD 64GB Sata III; WD black 1TB Sata III; eVGA 450.

It can't have any pros when it doesn't even work. Stupid factor didn't come with a energy cord, thankfully I had a number of extra. Do not get this product. I purchased two for a project and neither operate at all.

Comment:
Extremely effective, exact same computer system draws 80 watts much less than before. Much less heat blowing out the back. No power cord included.

Excellent value, very quiet, quoted efficiency excellent for my Computer which is generally on, hopefully conserve me some green $ ;) none correct now
