Cons:
When you have psu sitting side ways, the fan makes a slight noise.
Pros: Excellent performance. Not as dead silent as I would have like since my pc is ultra silent, but much better than a typical psu. |

Cons:
2 sets of motherboard power connectors. Perhaps redundent since only Very high end motherboards would be using both, at which point 850 watts may not be enough for the total rig.
Pros: Looks sharpModularNice sleeved cables with pouch to store extra cablesSilver Plus rating for effeciency Comment:
Got this on a sale and read great things about it. I can't say that I have any problem with it. Great modular cables make for an easy set-up. A variety of types too, a couple just sata, a couple just 4 pin with good lengths too them. being sleeved makes for great cable management and it comes with an adjustable cable tie. I'd buy again. |

Pros: EfficientLots of power Comment:
This is a modular, highly efficient power supply. The price is pretty good for a 850W psu but it could be better. I bought it with a MIR so it'll take awhile before I know the actual cost of the power supply. Very good quality however, worth the cost. |

Pros: Good value. Comment:
Powers my retired gaming machine with 1090T OC'd to 4Ghz 12GB ram, 4890 CrossfireX and 4 hdds. Although it maybe a little overkill for the computer, it's been working fine. Cable management is excellent. Improvement to the TX750 that was originally in there. Excellent purchase if you get it cheap. |

Pros: - Lots of accessories- Modular- Wrapped cables Comment:
Great PS! I used this on my Crosshair IV MB, in a HAF 932. All the cables reach were they need to go, so no worries there. PS looks sweet too, nice green with matte finish on the metal.Top notch quality |

Cons:
cables are somewhat short if you have a full tower case and power supply sits at the bottom of the case (like the Silverstone TJ07B).
Pros: Quiet operation, stable delivery of power to system and very nice colour scheme. Comment:
Bought this for my new system build. I was looking for an very good power supply that will be able to give power to my system that I am planning to install multi video card and this fits the requirements. So far so good and can recommend this to people building my kind of setup.Note: when I first got my PSU, there was a problem with it. Something was loose inside the PSU, RMAed it and NCIX even paid for the shipment to them which was very nice. They immediately ship me a new one without waiting for the defective one to come first. |

Cons:
Coil whine/squeal
Pros: Price, seasonic mademodular interfacedead sexy box and accessory pouch and psu itself Comment:
Gotta say, I was amazed when i saw the box, it's like receiving a collector's item of some sort, Has plenty of modular cables and interface, I was fairly iffy about the psu until i read couple of reviews and a lot of people vouching that this is seasonic rebranded psu, So i pulled the trigger, great choice over all. Love the pouch they include for all the modular cables, I like the color choice, green and grey/blackI have noticed annoying squeal/whine under heavy load or just when I'm folding but I've gotten used to it so i'll let it be.if you are looking for a great psu for lower price, go for this |

Pros: High Quality, Quiet, Powerful, Super-Stable, Semi-Modular, & "Sexy" Black-Neon color scheme. Comment:
Best PSU I have ever installed - my rig has never been so happy.Overclocked CPU, paired Vid. cards in SLI, 3 HDDs, DVD & BluRay drives, 4 sticks of RAM, multicard reader, & a multitasking operator - yet all this runs so cool, quiet, and stable that I'm most impressed with my NEW old rig.Very happy with this purchase - especially considering that I got it on sale AND I'm getting a $20 rebate.BaZinga!!!!XFX & NCIX still ruling my den. |

Pros: Plenty of powerLooks amazing Comment:
I saw a lot of people saying this power supply has problems with clicking, whining or some other sounds like that, but its been 2 weeks for me so far and not a problem...I will have to wait and see if anything pops up noise wise. |

Cons:
-Short 24 pin cable-Subjective color scheme
Pros: -Stable voltages throughout-No whines, very quiet-Future proof for a sale price-Lots of Modular cables Comment:
Excellent PS for a sale price. Even better if you can PM from a few places. Stable voltages, modular cables. Jonnyguru rates this one with a good 10 for performance.Although it has a very short 24 pin cable for big cases (800D), you need to wrestle it to connect. But for midtower case, it shouldnt have any problem. |

Cons:
Price (before). I am submitting this review late for sure, I picked this up around 3 months ago, which isn't very long, but when I bought it, it was $180, and that was a deal price down from $200. Now its great.
Pros: Looks good depending on case. Performs very well. Great for overclocking and SLI. Comment:
Sitting in the Inwin Maelstrom case, with green cold cathodes, this thing looks freaking sweet, I dont have a very souped up system so far, but soon down the road I'm upgrading from a GTX260 Core 216 to a Superclocked GTX480, then paycheck after that going for another GTX480 in SLI, I know the PS is fully capable of it, even with dirty power (Kitimat B.C.) I think this PS will handle anything I throw at it. Even though I bought it overpriced, I'm still glad I got it. |

Cons:
Looks, which are subjective.
Pros: Looks, which are subjective. Semi modular, ideal for smaller cases. 80 plus silver. Comment:
This is essentially a Seasonic M12D. Bought this because the Corsair AX750W was out of stock and was desperate for an immediate replacement. To my surprise, this was on the shelf (listed out of stock online), so I snatched it up right away. At $144 with mail-in rebate, it was well worth the price. After blowing 3 power supplies in 3 years, the 5 year warranty should ensure I would not have to buy another PSU in a while. |

Cons:
could use longer cables, needs more 6-8 pin conectors
Pros: 80 plus silver, high quality, looks sharp Comment:
sweet looking power supply, I don't really have the gear to verify how well it performs but i'll take the 80+ silver to heart. I have a large case (HAF-X) so a little extra slack on the cables would have gone a long way especially between the connectors on the same cable. Also could use more connectors for graphics cards, max 2 way sli without using any adaptors. |

For the price (especially when it is on sale + MIR), I dont know if you can get any better PSU than this. Also, the packaging is simply awesome and you get plenty of molex cables. |

Cons:
Not fully modular? Sleeving can use some work as well. You can see the red, yellow etc. No xfx psu with 850+ watts (unsure if this can run 2 5970s or 2 video cards)
Pros: Does its job as suppose to. Reviews for this psu are that of the best. Comment:
Does it's job well. Exceptional results in reviews for this psu.Runs haf 932 fans, plus 5 additonal fans, xfx hd 5970 BE, asus m4a89gtd, sony cd player, 8GB ram and amd 1055t 6x core processor fine. |

Cons:
If anything (very minor), fan and connector color (fluorescent yellow) don't really match the stuff in my case, but my PSU is bottom mounted and intakes from below so I can't really see it. Connectors are not really noticeable.
Pros: Seasonic based (high quality)Modular with fully sleeved cablingGood cable lengthVery quietRock solid railsNice carrying case for unused cables Comment:
This PSU is XFX's slightly souped-up version of Seasonic's M12D. Color scheme can be polarizing to some, but if you like it or just don't care, then I would add this to your short list if you are shopping for an 850W PSU. |

Cons:
ATX cable is stiff.Green color hard to match to a blue/red LED theme. Where is the red fan version?Custom screws (included) are small and fine-threaded, totally different than regular PSU fastening screws.
Pros: One of the best PSU on the market for stability under load.Single 12V rail of 70A.Seasonic M12D innards.80+ silver certified.Can power a high end SLI/Crossfire setupPackage is awesome Comment:
Nice look! This think is unique! Wish XFX had a red FAN version for ATI HD5800-series owners (or cases with red LEDs)This unit has been acclaimed by some of the best PSU reviewers to be one of the most stable PSU on the market.It's basically a Seasonic M12D-based PSU, so you can't go wrong.Single rail is what most people want nowadays for high end SLI or Crossfire configs.Cables are heavy duty ,even the power cord is beefy.The screws that are included (already mounted on the unit BTW)are smaller than usual, and use fine threads, instead of the regular PSU mounting screws...I used small washers between the PSU-s body and the computer case, because 2 out of the 4 holes on my ANTEC 300 case were almost too large, so the screws would almost pass thru...it's really minor, but worth mentioning. |

Comment:
This power supply was intended for gamers and enthusiasts. I am a gamer. This power supply was intended to support 3 way SLI and its more then capeable. Its efficent and its over all temp is lower then the 450 watt power supply I took out of my computer. The modular connectors are a plus. They are perfect and have the right amount of plugs. I got tons of extra connectors Im not using siting around and KUDOS to XFX for giving me a place to put them. the service was the best. I payed 150$ for the unit and got free shipping. If reviving that kind of deal doesn't top it off I received it 2 days earlier then the expected time. The weight of the PSU surprised me. The thing was like a brick. This Power supply would probally work nice in an ATX server as the cables are really long and theres plenty. For the price make sure you do your homework to make sure you need something like this. |

Cons:
not everyone will like the green on the connectors
Pros: Solidpower variations are minimal(so far) Comment:
ive been monitoring the power so far its rock stable.cable lent is sufficient even with a full tower or 800D case, the 24 pin is just long enough for a 800D with a high 24 pin power motherboard850W with a single 12v rail is just perty :) |
Overall very happy with the purchase. There was initial factory smell of VOC but that went away after 1 week.
