Cons: This power supply has been installed and did operate out of a UPS for the whole duration I owned it. It died unexpectedly on me within 4 months of receiving it.Cost to ship for RMA being prohibitive, I consider this was a very bad investment. I consider that I got robbed on this one.

Cons: kept on making this annoying reptitive ding ding ding sound against its own metal casing.
Pros: lasted me 8 months before dying Comment:
I picked this up on sale for my first computer build project. it was inexpensive (something like 60 bucks from ncix after MIR) and had 1000W (bigger the better?). anyways i got it working but it would fight me by turning off at least opportune moments (middle of lab reports or matlab assignments or right before save points). all in all it did last me 8 months but is that what we are supposed to expect for refurb products? i know shouldnt blame ncix but man this OCZ PSU was a piece of junk when it came to reliability. No thanks for selling it to your customers. |

Cons: Completely unreliable, scratched out of the box
Pros: Low price, recycled 750W boxes? Comment:
Do not make the error of buying those units. I bought 3, (I'm a reseller) and the 3 units came back in less than 4 months.2 were completely blown off, 1 incurred instability on the system.Good price, but not worth the high risk of braking something else in your system. Complete rip off.I have nothing against OCZ PSU, but this refurbished model is no good. |

Cons: $40 I should have put into a proper PSU gone as mine just failed but seems to be expected from OCZ PSU and being refurb so I can't complain on that front
Pros: none in the end Comment:
As many have posted this is a pretty unreliable PSU and seems a lot fo feedback is steer clear of OCZ PSU's. Won't be buying OCZ PSU this time. Would probably rate it more like 2 stars if I could find my order ID |

Cons: Cables aren't modular
Pros: Still works. Comment:
I've had this PSU for a little over a month, still works. It's relatively quiet. I use it to power an 4.2ghz 2500k, OCed twin frozr 560 ti, 1 SATA2 HDD |

Cons: Doesn't last very long, break down seems inevitable.
Pros: Cheap way to get 1000 watts Comment:
Both power supplies broke on me within two months. I got them pretty cheap with a rebate. Not even worth the cost or hassles of shipping out for warranty, have heard the replacement last just as long. Will never buy another OCZ power supply or any other OCZ product again. Very disappointed about these power supplies. |

Cons: Not modular
Pros: Works well, remains quiet (can't hear it over haf 932 case fans, which are not loud), support for 2-4 video cards (depending on plugs required). Comment:
Paid $60 for this psu, have had zero issues with it. My stepfather, and gaming buddy all run it as well.

Cons: Not reliable at all.
Pros: There are no pros, do not buy this. This PSU died within two months of installing. It is not reliable at all. As you can see, I'm not the only one that has given a review like this. Comment:
This product is not recommended. I had to rate this product three stars because I was not able to find my order ID or else I would have rated it only one star or less. |

Cons: Poor quality power supply! You are throwing money away!
Pros: The Price! It's cheap! Comment:
I got this power supply 4 weeks ago. I figured that it was going into a cheap computer and that it was going to be way underpowered. It won't be under any stress so it should be ok. This morning I turned on my computer and something went wrong. My computer shut down half way through bootup! It's the power supply! I have since put one of my old 400 watt power supplies in the computer and removed the video cards since my old power doesn't support the new video cards. I am going online to the NCIX website to buy a new power supply this morning! The rest of my wife's computer is pretty much corsair, I think I'll stick with that brand. |

Cons: Stopped working around a month after I got it.
Pros: It worked fine until it didn't. Comment:
Do yourself a favour and avoid this power supply. It might work fine for a few days or a few years but you're taking a huge chance with your money. |

Cons: refurb
Pros: Price after mir Comment:
Using it as a tester PSU, no problems yet. |

Cons: The ATX12V only has a 8 pin plug. Unless you are using it on a advance mtb with 8pin ATX12V, don't get this, this does not come with the split that other psu has. I came up with 2 solns to over come this. 1. convert a molex to ATX12V P4 or 2. use an ATX12V P4 extension for $5 (from NCIX, it's either that or order and wait for $2 less)
Pros: Looks good, very clean looking, very durable, thick wires. I put it in a pc that needed only 3/4 of it and it's an overkill. If you are building a pro machines, it might be lacking a few wires Comment:
If you like to look pro, this is the psu to get, if you are building an actual pro machines, get something else. |

Cons: Died very quickly
Pros: Easy to install, plenty of options for a typical system build Comment:
I installed this into a new system with i5 2500k and it worked great for nearly a month. Then one morning I went to power it on and there was a light turned on the back of the supply and the system would not boot. Based on the price I paid and the cost to ship this out to be fixed I decided not to warranty it and instead bought an Antec Earthwatts 750 which has been performing very solidly. |

Cons: Blows up after 2 months
Pros: Heavy enough to brain someoneComes in a really nice box Comment:
Shortly after purchase I was pleased as punch. It looked the part, was cheap enough and with it installed, my computer would turn on. My computer doesn't turn on anymore. This PSU is still installed. I am not impressed. |

Cons: The rebate is a con.
Pros: Cheap, good name, single rail 80Amps Comment:
I was wary about refurbished drives, but thought that $35 (after rebate) for this drive was too good to be true. It was.Unless you feel like registering with American Express you can forget about the rebate. It is paid out via a non-reloadable AmEx gift card. The process of applying for the rebate is also a complex series of hoops that the average consumer will not jump through.Still...tack on the extra cash for a 2 year ESP, and you have a 1000W PSU with a 3 year warranty for under $100. |

Cons: None yet
Pros: Cheap, lots of power Comment:
I got this for a system built for a customer. He wanted to run a crossfire setup on a budget (??) so this seemed to work. No complaints yet. |

Cons: - dislike rebates... process makes me feel bullied and short changed but I still look for them
Pros: - Reused box from a different power supply = green thinking for OCZ!!- Packaging is very well done looks like a brand new PS with the exception of the outside of the box- Price could not beat the price Comment:
Have not completed my new system build yet so I have not tried out the PS yet. I would purchase this again based on the outstanding price |

it works great at the point i didn't lack power once with my pc running 24 hours a day. But a morning, i woke with my pc shut and won't boot anymore, tested the psu and found that he was dead. i've rma it and i'm sure the replacement one will work just right. |

Cons:
none I can see as of now. Except it's not modular. But at the price I paid I can't really complain.
Pros: cheap price Comment:
At first I was reluctant to buy a refurbished PSU but after seeing the price plus MIR and some reviews I decided to give it a try. So far so good. It powered without any problem. |

Cons:
Only 4 PCIe 6-8 pin connectors
Pros: Works good, steady power distribution considering all the juice i am sucking through it. Comment:
I would recommend it especially at the price. |
I bought that PSU and I tought it was a good one. But after 3 months, he died while I was playing and my video card (Nvidia GTS 250) died because of this PSU. Never buy from OCZ again. Worst experience ever. 3 stars because with worked well the first months.
