I have had this PS for about a year. NO problems what-so-ever. I did not have a problem with my cables being stiff as others did. Perhaps I just got lucky. Noise is comparable to other PSU's and quieter than my case fans.

Excellent performing psu. I've had mine for over a year it still works like a champ. Its currently powering an Athlon X2 3800@ 2700mhz 1.5v and a Radeon X1900XTX @gpu 682mhz mem 792mhz on a DFI Lanparty CFX3200 2 Hardrives 2 DVD drives and an Audigy 2. Only complaint is the beefy cables but i got the X2 cables and now its very sweet! I highly reccomend it.

No problems after a month which is what I would expect from quality such as Ultra. Beautiful unit and fairly quiet, however the cables can be difficult to work with and very stiff if you don't flex them alot prior to install. Didn't clean up the case as much as I had hoped.

Does what it's supposed to do, and I have but one complaint; the cables are too chunky, and the way my case is set up, the cables that are connected to my hd's prevents me from closing the lid on the side as the adapter sticks out too much. Looks nice, the cables are better than most and I'll just find a way to relocate my HD's. It's very quiet too, which I can't say about my liquid CPU cooler.

Installing a Power Supply - An Easy-to-follow 11-Step, Photo Illustrated Guide
When you've upgraded your PC system by adding on a number of new peripherals it might be time to upgrade your power supply as well. Our handy guide gives you simple instructions on how to install your brand new power supply.
Standard Electrical Specification Terms
What Is A Joule? Or a Watt, Volt, or an Amp?

Electronics and Electricity, uses a wide range of terms to represent different kinds of measurement units.  Many you have seen every day, and others from time to time in product specifications.  These are all part of the International System of Units.  Here is a short list of several common terms your will see in our products and their meanings:

JOULE: One joule (symbol: J) is defined as the amount of work done by electricity.  Technically it is the work required to continuously produce one watt of power for one second; or one watt second (W*s).   One kilowatt hour (a common electric company measure) equals 3,600,000 Joules (1W*s x 1,000 x 3600 seconds).


Using This Chart You Can Easily Calculate
The Wattage, Current (Amps), Ohms, and Voltage For A Device!

WATT: In terms of mechanical energy, one watt (symbol: W or P) is a measure of energy used - this frequently results in heat, or as in the case of a light bulb, the heat creates a glow, thus more heat equals more light.  Technically a Watt is the rate at which work is done when an object is moved at a speed of one meter per second against a force of one newton.  By the definitions of electric potential (volt) and current (ampere), work is done at a rate of one watt when one ampere flows through a potential difference of one volt - or simply A*V=W

AMP (Ampere): In practical terms, the ampere (symbol: I) is the amount of electrical current passing through a conductor (a wire).  Technically it is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point per unit time. Around 6.242 × 1018 electrons passing a given point each second constitutes one ampere. You can figure out the Amps being use by dividing the Wattage by Voltage.  A 100W light, in a typical house (120V) uses 1.2A.

VOLT (Voltage): The volt (symbol: V) is the unit of electromotive force measurement, commonly called "voltage".  Technically, the volt is defined as the value of the voltage across a conductor when a current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power in the conductor.  For example, if you know a TV uses 295 Watts and uses 2.45 Amps, you can calculate the voltage is 120 Volts.

OHM:  The ohm (symbol: Ω or R) is the unit of electrical impedance in AC, or, in the direct current case, electrical resistance.  It is the resistance of material to electrical current.  The higher the value, the higher the resistance, and the more voltage is required, and the more current used.  Most home speakers are low resistance, just 8 ohm.  Technically, the ohm is defined as the resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant of 1 volt is  applied, and produces in a current of 1 ampere.

DECIBEL:  The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit of measurement that expresses the magnitude of a physical quantity (usually power or intensity) relative to a specified or implied reference level.  The decibel is useful for a wide variety of measurements (particularly acoustics and electronics). It has a number of advantages, such as the ability to conveniently represent very large or small numbers, in a scaling that roughly corresponds to the human perception of sound and light.  It is frequently seen in Home Theater Receivers to represent amplification or volume.  Since it is based on a reference level, it is not easily used by the non-engineer, but simply as a specification value.
