Feature Rich Reliability Poor

Strengths: *Modular *Many Adapter Cables

Weakness: Poorly Made

I had mine for less than six months, then one day out of the blue I hear a loud pop followed by a fireworks display. Turned out that this POS fried all my components. Customer Service along with the RMA department are a joke. All I can say is STAY AWAY!

I went with Corsair's 1000W unit and I haven't looked back since.

Utimate power in the universe

Strengths: More than ample

Weakness: none - yet

I went with this PSU after ready Anandtech's review. It was perfect for the 780i and triple SLI. In fact, the Mobo requires a 1000W for that reason. Right now its cool and quietly running 2 Asus 8800 GTs, 2 WD Raptors, 2 HDD coolers, 2 DVDRW combos, 6 UV lights, 2 120mm and 1 80mm fans, and a complete watercooled system with the MCP650 pump.

With all the tubing in there, its nice that this PSU is modular.

I wont review all that has been written professionally about the specs. That can be googled.

One thing that was irritating however. One of the Mobo connectors that bend snapped off, so its not as secure of a fit.

The other is the racing stripe. I much preferred the earlier black chromed versions in my WC/ windowed Lian Li.



I believe this unit will be more than ample to handle any future upgrades. At least for a few years anyway.

Good psu with ample juice

Strengths: Four 12 volt rails with up to 85% efficiency. Modular cables.

Weakness: None so far.

Installed easily into the Thermaltake Armor VA8003BWS case. Plenty of power for my requirements and quiet. Energy efficient. Modular cables always a nice feature and make for a clean looking installation. Not a gamer running multiple video cards so I haven't pushed it to the limit but for my purposes it is a very nice unit. Only running it so far with amd 5000+ be oc'd to 6400+, 4gb ocz platinum 6400, 1 7600gt video card, 1 74gb raptor, and 2 300gb hard drives, and a creative sb fatality champion.

Antec TruePower Quattro 1000w

Strengths: This power supply is very cool - it has racing stripes, very well built, and the fan is very quiet.

Weakness: I bought this power supply 2 months ago. I never had any problems.

It should easily power the most powerful of today’s pc’s.
It's the PERFECT power supply.
Comes with four PCI-E connectors for powering one or even two of the newest generation of video cards. It also has gold-plated connectors that provide superior conductivity.
