Brilliant PSU
Reviewed by J Thorne. Review Posted 26/01/2010
What a superd PSU, built various systems over the years. This is one of the best PSU's i have had. You will thou need plenty of room for all those cables. If you have a full size(ATX) computer case then no probs. If you have a small case go modular, pay extra but would be worth it.
Its so quite i thought the fan wasnt working in it when i first fired it up. It is working fine, the fan speed adjusts depending on the watts required by the PC.
Being only a single rail supply as well, perfect for high-performance set-ups.
Spot on!

Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 08/10/2009
Easy to fit with cables plenty long enough to be threaded around the case. The instructions for a 20 pin connector and 12v 4 pin connector are bit vague but I got there in the end. Once installed its very quite and worth the money.

Excellent but you may want modular
Reviewed by Adrian. Review Posted 14/10/2008
This is my second corsair power supply and the whole package exudes quality. However, you may want to consider the modular version - where the cables have plugs and you only connect the ones you're using - for a tidier build. This model comes with them all built on. I was not aware of the distinction until this one arrived as my previous was modular. Not a deal breaker, but worth a look if you want things to be perfect.
