I've just purchased this to replace the original PSU in my 3 year old
PC. It is of a sturdy, robust construction, switched, silent as described, and I can feel by touching my PC casing that it is running much cooler than it did with its original PSU. The PSU includes far more connections than I could possibly use (for anyone unfamiliar with the names of the connectors - see my uploaded photo). I use my PC heavily for video editing and I'm not sure whether it's my imagination or wishful thinking but I'm sure my PC is running faster following upgrading the power supply.
It has surpassed expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a replacement or upgrade.

I just brought this PSU as an upgrade. I didn't actually know but the one I was replacing was a Colors PSU too (400w tho).
It's great, quiet as a whisper, cools the whole pc and has all the connectors you could possibly ever need for ide/sata/fdd/Mobo/CPU/PCI-E card.
All in all its bloody amazing and at the price it's going I give it top marks.

This PS worked right from the box! Colors 550W Gold 12Cm Silent Atx Power Supply
It has 6 X 4pin sockets, 1 X 24 pin socket, which you can detach the end 4 sockets to enable connection to a 20pin motherboard. Also 1 X square 4pin socket, 1 X 6pin socket, 1 X Floppy socket,1 X SATA socket.
This is a new generation Power Supply, where the fan blows it's air from the PS to the inside of the computer, not as usual out of the back. This ensures cooling air is drawn in, instead of warm air from PC interior, which could cause overheating and a PS failure. Because of this I have installed a baffle plate to deflect the blown air away from the CPU.
The build quality has an expensive look and feel to it! It is proving to be reliable.

Complete JUNK!
On opening the box the poor quality of this PSU is obvious.
It has clearly been manufactured very cheaply. Read more

Very happy with it
Good, solid power supply
Def recommend it. I bought it after my existing psu failed, this has replaced it and given me more power at the same time.

SATA Connectors
Whilst the specification clearly states there are 4 SATA connectors, there are in fact only 2. So it is a good job I bought a Spliter (Molex to 2 SATA) at the same time otherwise I... Read more

A good PSU, but very misleading
There are many people in the PC building community who claim that Corsair and OCZ etc. are the best brand to go for. Read more

I bought this based on the manufacturer description, which for me was the fact that it was supposed to include a "8 Pin + 12v Motherboard Connector". Read more
