5 of 5 Outstanding! though a bit early to tell Wednesday, June 11, 2008 Thomas from Cedar Hill, MO
Well to preface this it turned out I had a few issues ... the Ultra X2 modular I had shot craps when the 120 mm fan went belly up. as my replacement I was initially going for an Antec NEO but I had read so many good things about the Corsair I decided to take the plunge and go with the 620.
I definately wanted to stick with the modular set up. I like the fact that the 20(24) mb power cable is hard wired and not modular. Shows smart design to me cause obviously this is a nessessary hook up. I also like that the cables are bound together in a round format rather than the flat ribbon cable design. The flat type I was using previously was on the annoying side and this was much nicer for me; call it personal preferance. I have been using the unit for almost a month and have had no problems with it.
The only "con" I can say is that durring installation it was a tight squeeze into my Coolermaster PRAETORIAN 730 but I managed to get it lined up okay.
I bought matched corsair memory when I built this machine and now they have another fine product that I am building confidence in.
As a side note it turns out my added problem was dust trapped between the CPU fan and the heatsink which was causing the shut down. I bought one of those CPU canisters for dust removal and its been running like a top ever since. Was this review helpful?

1 of 1 customers found this review helpful. 5 of 5 High quality, stable, very quiet & modular cabling Tuesday, February 19, 2008 jojesa from New York
Well packaged clear information and organized box with more than enough modular cables.
Modular cabling, which allows to use only the cables needed, helping keep a system free of clutter.
High quality and extremely quiet ADDA dual ball-bearing fan; I have not heard the fan even with my ear five inches from it.
This PSU have not flinched, nor have the voltages shown deviation even with the system over-clocked and running at full load.
Besides making a solid rock unit, above 80% efficiency Corsair provides 5-years warranty.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**System Specs**--

5 of 5 Big enough for everything. Thursday, January 24, 2008 andy halieus@gmail.com from seattle, wa
The 520 would have been enough but I wanted something that could be more "future-proof" in case I wanted to use SLI. The only problem is that there was a loose piece of junk plastic inside the power supply. I shook it out, but since I installed it with the fan down in my Antec P182 case, who would have known what could have happened. It has plenty of connections which was good for my 7 120mm fans. Price is a little much, but these are worth it. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Corsair 620HX PSU Tuesday, January 22, 2008 A Customer from Roswell, GA
Great product at a great price, especially with the rebate. So quiet I can't tell if my computer is up and running. Solved the problem I was having with reboot error-alarms claiming my ATI AIW Radeon 9800 Pro video card was not connected to a power source, even though it was. Modular design is clever. Very pleased with this purchase. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Everything you could want in a PS Wednesday, December 19, 2007 Dkafs112 from Fresno, California
This Power supply is awesome. I usually purchase my electronics from Newegg, but Buy.com had it for cheaper, so I bought it here. I am very satisfied with Buy.com. I bought a motherboard from newegg the same time I purchased this power supply and the power supply was the first to arrive! awesome service! This power supply is modular, so I only need to plug the cables that I will be using, so no more ugly unused wires hanging in the cpu case. I even got zip ties from Corsair, not to mention a pretty cool looking bag to keep all the modular cables. Thanks buy.com! Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Good quality Sunday, December 02, 2007 A Customer from Minneapolis, MN
Solidly built, quiet, efficient, good warranty, good brand name. This was a top rated unit in a recent comparison of about 10 power supplies on a reputable site. The SATA cables are very long and should be able to reach the furthest drive in almost any case.
I'm happy with my purchase, except I am hoping that I don't end up regretting not getting a higher power-rated unit. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Simply the best. Sunday, July 08, 2007 Kevin from Fremont, CA

5 of 5 More Power Saturday, June 09, 2007 Alec from Joliet IL.
I purchased this power supply to replace a stock 300w in my Acer. I needed more power for the ATI 2900XT video card that was on it's way. Stock fan was super quiet where this fan can be barley heard when there is a load on the puter. The 2900XT video card makes much more audible noise when you are playing graphic intensive games. Cablel system is great, you only use the cables you need , the others stay in the pouch for later addons, thus much less clutter in the box so you get better airflow. The reviews I have read say nothing but good things about this power supply and I have to agree with them. Very pleased with the product and Buy.com. Was this review helpful?
