5 of 5 Very good power supply Saturday, September 20, 2008
A Customer from Reno, NV  

This is one of the best power supplies out there on the market. The voltage rails are very close to what the ideal value should be and it is not noisy at all. I would highly recommend this power supply to anyone who is looking into building a decent system but not going to run SLI or any real power hungry cards.

5 of 5 lots of power Monday, September 01, 2008
sampasquale from oakville, ontario canada  
i have had this psu for about 1.5 yrs and it runs like a champ, i have 6 hdd, q6600 cpu with aftermarket fan , 4gb of ram with cooling fan, 2 bfg video cards (no NOT 8800s)not to mention aftermarket fans on the gpu's , as well as 3 120mm fans with lights, 2dvd burners and this lil beauty does it all without a hiccup... and here is the kicker i JUST finished calculating the total wattage i should need (at a website) and it came up to 727 watts and i'm doing it with style and ONLY 520 watts and if the time comes that i need another psu i'll buy corsair AGAIN, but i think that wont be for a long time

5 of 5 Very well built PSU Monday, April 21, 2008
A Customer from Toledo, OH  
This is a very nice,quite, and modular PSU. The thin cables keep m,y case looking very nice and easy to bend around corners. With a total of 40AMPS on 12 rail, this should power most peoples needs and can even power some new SLI systems(8800GTS, 8800GT). So far my system has been stable with this new PSU. Phenom 9500, 8800GTS, DFI-790FX,2GB-XMS2,some fans and 2 drives. Get this PSU, you won;t regret it and corsair has amazing customer service.

5 of 5 So far so good Sunday, April 20, 2008
Mike LaStelley from Lennox, CA  
This PSU was rated highly by many web sites I reseached before purchasing. I can confirm that the PSU is Very, very quiet, so much so I kept checking to see if the fan was still running. It seems to put out all of the power I need. Since it seems to be running great I have no comment on Corsairs customer service & I hope it stays that way........Pros=Whisper quiet, Modular connections,has pci-e 6 and 8 pin connectors, Decent price, Very easy to install, Fits well in a Mid Tower case........Cons= no way to monitor fan speed, Sata data cable could be longer & spaced out more, sata power cable are flimsy & could be made a little stronger, System power cable coud be a tad bit longer

5 of 5 Nice! Tuesday, April 15, 2008
A Customer from ATL, GA  
I added the 520HX to my Dell 530. It was a super easy install and the modular cables keep things really nice in the case. I was having intermittent power problems from the stock PSU and now everything is working great. Customer service from Corsair is also super. I found their website very helpful and learned that extra cables are available if needed from them. Highly recommend this PSU even though it's a little more expensive than others.
