It worked nicely for a couple of weeks. Little, easy to set up, had enough connectors for every little thing I necessary, and all for a quite affordable price tag. I left household for about an hour; came residence and my computer would not power on. I tried this PSU in two other machines, but to no avail -- this unit had died. It's difficult to say what precisely occurred given that I was out of the home. 3 eggs for acquiring what I anticipated for such a low price tag, but no far more due to the fact it died so early. Judging from other testimonials, I may possibly have just gotten a undesirable unit. I feel I could give Diablotek a second possibility in the future. |

The pc did turn on... Energy supply did not supply uniform energy. I purchased this for my new gaming Pc and I created the error of acquiring this off-brand model. DO NOT do what I did and attempt to save cash here. When attempting to play any game, the computer would restart spontaneously every time inside a minute or two. I replaced the power provide and the laptop worked just fine. This was totally the cause. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND Income. |

Economical Un dependable unless you like the quite colored smoke...Study the testimonials I bought this PSU three months ago for a low end rig that just needed to stay up and running 24ǝ and it lasted about 21 days.sadly my lag time to set up this unit expense me my new egg warranty.Diablotek assistance responded but for some purpose they don't think it's essential to adhere to through .30 days and counting.no response.I wouldn't advocate this unit for any goal other than a paper weight. |

Low cost? Unit failed soon after initial week of use. Does not supply specified output. I strongly recomend any individual considering this unit read HardOCP's review of this item. I wish I had observed it before purchase. You get what you spend for, in this case you may possibly be fortunate to even get that. |

Cables, low noise. As many others have stated this PSU will die ultimately. For heavy gaming, I would guess that eventual troubles are inevitable. I game each and every day for at least a couple hours, and lately my laptop turned off through use. This worried me a small at 1st but I payed no consideration. Then, these days during a gaming session my laptop all of a sudden shut off. I tried disconnecting cables, turning off PSU and back on once again, but to no avail. The computer system tends to make no response when pushing the power button. I'm not going to bother trying to RMA this as it appears like a lot more trouble than it's worth just for 60 bucks. I just ordered a Corsair with the same wattage. It was good to save funds for a when, but I ought to have just purchased the Corsair in the very first spot. Unless you're a casual user and don't game, I wouldn't advise this PSU, as opposed to my original critique. |

I was a small Leary of this provide from the critiques, but i will need a 650w appropriate away and this 1 fits my price range right now. I just got this in and it feels quite hefty. I installed it in my system and anything is working best. I began up a few games to make positive it got a complete load on the Energy provide. The voltages all seem to be inside operating specs and working like a champ. None This is a great value energy provide from what i have seen. |

Neat cabling. Pooted out following significantly less than one month. A single day the standard fan noise seemed week. Then I began receiving crazy instability troubles particularly following taxing the system with gaming. Heat did not seem to be an concern. Soon after some time I lastly realized it ought to weak voltage from the PSU. Soon after lastly collecting enough to replace it, today a new Corsair arrived and I've run my method through the gauntlet and all seems properly.This issue couldn't manage a M4A79XTD with a Phenom II X3 710 and Radeon HD4770. I'm glad those who have had luck with these have been so lucky. |

Pre-wrapped cables, and just about anything you could need. It was D.O.A :( spent .00 on a new make only to attempt and energy it up and nothing at all. 6 hours gone such as wire management and all my small extras installed. To be confident I entirely broke every little thing down and was gonna set up 1 piece at a time and attempt to power on in case of a brief or some thing and nevertheless wouldn't energy up. I took my power supply out of my old rig and connected the main components lead to it was only a 400 watt supply, and almost everything booted appropriate up. I will get in touch with newegg in the morning to see what can be accomplished about obtaining a replacement overnighted cause I move back t college this week WOULD HAVE BEEN Awesome IF IT WOULD HAVE WORKED |

Relatively excellent PSU. It's rather quiet, has independently sleeved cables and all cables are wrapped.Great fan, steady voltage, alot of conections.Appears effective. Packaging and documentation should be far better. I'm runing on AMD AII X4 620 OC @ 3.25GHz, Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P, G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ MHz), 3x SATA 2, 2x DVD burner, 3 Led fans and ATI HD5750 1GB without having complications.I suggest you this PSU.Salu2 |

low price tag, high quality amps, lots of connectors, looks wonderful, sleeved cables, quiet. The only trouble i discovered with this powersupply was that the specs were wrong. (see other thoughts) I purchased this immediately after looking around for a powersupply that had a min of 36amps on the 12+ rail. According to the manufacturer's web site and all other areas I looked, this power provide puts out 38amps on the 12+ rail. Properly once i got my shipment i looked at the specs in box and it mentioned 35 amps on the 12+ rail rather of the 38. I had to return it. BUT all other specs are appropriate, and if you will need low value and no more than 35amps on the 12+ volt rail, then this is the psu for you. |

Cables, quiet. As I mentioned in my evaluation, I don't believe this factor is for gaming. It died on me. I verified that by testing it with a case fan and paper clip method. I replaced it with a diverse brand and now my laptop loves me. I attempted to RMA this thing, as I utilized it below completely normal situations, with the correct wattage that they advertise. I did not even get a response from Diablotek. Not even a, "I'm sorry sir, but you're extremely out of luck." Absolutely nothing. I really feel that I need to be elligable for a replacement at least, due to the fact they truly shouldn't advertise this as the wattage they say. This isn't going to power a system that truly needs that 650w. It's far more appropriate for systems that almost certainly draw in the 300-400w range. Like, genuinely mild builds for employing the net and Word, issues like that. All round this brand is dead to me. Just thought I'd udate my review to regard their buyer service (or lack thereof). We'll see if they respond to my critique. |

Solid efficiency at a low price tag. I built it into a buddy's Pc and it's been powering it fine for about a year now (Core two Quad Q6600, Radeon HD 5770, three SATA tricky drives). The fan is very quiet and moves a lot of air. The sleeved cables are also a great touch. If you're a gamer with an overclocked 6-core CPU and two or 3 125 watt video cards it possibly won't give you sufficient juice on the იV. Its not made for that: pay a couple of bucks additional and get their dual rail 850 watt as an alternative. This PSU an superb alternative for a mid-level program, and its challenging to beat the value. |

Quiet, efficient, enough AMPS on the 12v rail to energy a greater-finish graphics card. Not trusted and does not final lengthy term. I will give this the benefit of the doubt. When this thing operates, it is a really quiet and incredibly strong PSU. But like numerous others have had, it can randomly die on you. That occurred to me as nicely when I try to turn on my personal computer and nothing at all takes place. Mine lasted about a month and a half.Regardless of this PSU becoming solidly built on the outside as effectively as the wires and connectors, it just doesn't last long. It could be most likely simply because of low-cost elements that make the interior of it, I dunno for confident.My suggestions is to devote about 10 or 20 far more and get a distinct PSU. Granted, I am not saying go with a larger brand name since it's not so significantly the brand any longer as it is the a lot more expensive ones becoming of greater top quality. I've even seen massive brand name PSUs fail the exact same way or other approaches.I wanted to take a opportunity on this brand which was a fantastic deal and being aware of this name as properly. I guess I have to acquire a new PSU now. I just hope my three year warranty will be covered by them. |

For such a monster fan, this thing is quiet. Not substantially bigger than my 380w i just upgraded from. It's quiet. Very great piece. Had to upgrade even though putting in new mobo and vid card. None. vid card: eVGA GTX 275mobo: eVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLIcpu: Intel core 2 duo, E8400 |
None truly. Initially of all, lets talk about what you get for your money.As of the writing of this review, the value on this energy supply is แ.99. SUPPOSEDLY, you're acquiring 650 watts. but in reality, you're only finding 650 watts COMBINED output. The იv rail only outputs 456 watts, that means, you're only acquiring 456 watts to power your videocard, processor, fans, hard drives, and optical drives. While another energy supply, say, the "Antec NEO ECO" is priced at 79.99 and gives 576 watts on the იv rail. Not to mention a trusted power provide.If we do some math:-Diablocrap----------456ኍ.99 = 9.12Antec----------------576ካ.99 = 7.20You're really SAVING income per watt going with a established reliable brand.Now we have the price tag difficulties out of the way, we can move on to my joyous encounter of an exploding power provide. Not enough area in cons, placing it in Other Thoughts. Alright, if you obtain a 蝚" watt power provide, most most likely you're a gamer. I am. So anyway, I was playing a somewhat graphically intensive game, when some explosion happened and I heard a *POP* sound from inside my case, the entire wall behind my monitor was illuminated in a bluish color, my computer went entirely dead, and I could hear tiny bits of debris operating down my case into my and into CPU heat sink. Fortunately the outlet my Computer is plugged into was very easily accessible and I unplugged it swiftly. I had to turn my case more than with the door off and shake it to get all the debris out. The largest of which was a semicircular piece of capacitor(what it looked like to me). There were also tiny bits of off white chalky stuff EVERYWHERE. I tried butting them all in a baggie in case I necessary to offer proof for the explosion for a refund but most of them just crumbled into dust. I got a very good portion of it though.Generally, don't get Diablotek unless you want your residence to burn down.
