I have had this power supply for a year with no problems. I purchased this because my old power supply would not power all of my needs. Have a 9800 GT graphics card with two hard drives and a duo core 3.2Ghz processor. No problems at all with this supply. It will add a little extra noise with its fan.

3 DAYS IT WORKED, THEN CRAPPED OUT! not a load or heat issue, just garbage power supply. my full tower is a MozartTX, awesome case plenty of breathing for best cards and mobo.
running a quad AMD- gtx470 single 12 gig of mem and W7X64. 4 drives. 1 dvd .
went to SWS electronics in Tucson and bought a 500w EVGA and has been fine since! DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$$ or time.

I had the same experience as the other person did. Tried it thinking it would work and all of a sudden it died. I then got a free replacement and used it for my brother's computer because his is all low end stuff, Athlon 64 x2 processor, nvidia 8500GT, 1 HDD, etc. and it died after 2 months of use. I ended up using the fan out of it as an extra fan in my case. I absolutely would not recommend this PSU.

I bought this power supply thinking I would save a couple bucks. I'm using a triple core 95 watt AMD cpu, two hard drives, and a geforce GTS 250. Everything should be fine with a 500 Watt power supply, and it appeared that way at first. I then tried to play Dragon Age and it simply died. I returned to the vendor (I didn't buy it from amazon, and it was less than 30 days from purchase) and got a replacement. I just tried Starcraft 2 and within 15 minutes of firing it up the power supply died. Save yourself the trouble and spend the extra few dollars to get a power supply that will work when you need it.
