High quality and reliable product

Purchased to replace a faulty power supply in a custom PC. Perfect fit, more ports and power than you need, but at this price and quality you can't go wrong. These things are built like a tank and I expect them to last a lot longer than the PCs they currently run on.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Annoying

Defective item, will not withstand stated load

Defective item. Never skimp on the power supply. Right out of the box it was unstable and shut down after two minutes. Tried every combination to make sure it wasn't overloaded. No, even minimal connections will not work. I put my old noisy PSU with similar specs back into the setup and it works great. It won't be cheaper again.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not sure

It works best indoors

It has a large diameter fan and doesn't make much noise. It comes with black screws to match its black color. I prefer modular parts but this is for a low budget computer and it works great. The only criticism is the sticker on the accessories. Where the power supply is (top of the case) the sticker is now upside down. It looks a bit odd, but that's not a problem as all sides of the case are metal.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Solid in every way.

I'm building a small setup and need a basic power supply just for the motherboard and CPU, with enough headroom that I don't have to buy a whole new power supply later if I add a few things later. This item was absolutely perfect. I love EVGA so much and nobody can beat their service; I always use EVGA when I can. In the end, I settled on the Seasonic power supply, which started clicking and sparking after ten minutes. I immediately gave up and ordered this EVGA block instead. I was thrilledโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Running

DOA? Maybe? I pay extra for the fully modular

Whenever I take a break or try to buy parts "cheaper" for any auto shop, I'll probably suffer. I find it proven. The total chaos of a non-modular power supply freaks me out - this is no different. When connecting the machine, the wiring and cable wire is pretty cute. Each individual cable has plenty of slack to ensure cables are routed securely throughout the tower. I wouldn't recommend this for mini-ITX or micro-ATX builds. Upgrade to a fully modular system. Yes, full modularity is a bit moreโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
