How much power? Will it fit in the case? How loud will the fans be? What colour rating do I need? I had discovered that they are rated at "zilch, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum" but I could not easily find what difference these ratings actually made, other than costing more money, of course.
In the end, I went for this Corsair, which made slightly more power at max sustainable output than I needed, was modular (which was a godsend) and had good write-ups and reviews.
But actually fitting the thing was not as easy as I imagined. Removing the old PSU was easy but the old PSU was not modular which meant a jumble of wires coming out of that PSU which then ran to each component in the computer. Looking back I should have labelled each wire but because they were tied up in knots with each other and other parts of the computer I ended up removing all of them, thinking I would be able to work out which new ones would go where by looking at the connections. The new connections were not the same shape or number but working logically with what I knew definitely did go together and by looking at the pdf file from the Corsair website, I managed to deduce which ones went where until I had reconnected all the components. Another complicating factor was that the new Graphics card was so big that I had to move 2 of the mother board lines to alternative positions as well as shift my wireless WiFi card to the lowest postion. It probably took about 90 mins to install everything but I am no expert in these things.
All in all I was quite surprised when I hit the power button that it all just worked seamlessly. Windows 7 just recognised the new hardware and positions of the lines, the PSU provides its power and its all rather good. There is some fan noise when under heavy load but our Graphics card also has 2x fans, so it is hard to say which component is making the noise. However when just word processing or browing the net, there is minimal load on any components, so the fans are not required and it is completely silent. (I am only aware of the fan noise because our speakers are rechargeable battery-operated, so when the power dies, the sounds of violence (PlanetSide2 in our case), suddenly die away and you are aware of how hard everything is working within the case).
4 out of 5 stars? Although well packaged, I do think the fitting instructions could be far better written and explained. There is a presumption amongst computer-minded people that all abbreviations are universally understood. That said, I knew that if I had gone very wrong and really cocked up, I could take it to a mate (or a shop) to sort out.
I choose to purchase this model because it was a good price for a modular PSU, and Corsair is a very good name in this industry, as well as being a recommendation from a family member. I have split my reviews up into the PROs and CONs.
PROS:
1. It is extremely quiet, I have it facing down onto my desk and I can't hear the fan at all. I only have a 200w (ish) system so it shouldn't be spinning too fast anyway. In fact my Cooler Master Sickle Flow fans are louder, and I class them as quiet.
2. It does what a power supply has got to do, supply power and not blow up. I can't yet comment on reliability because I haven't had it long enough, but my brother has had one for nearly 2 years and his is working just like new.
3. It comes with enough cables than an office/mid range computer will need.
4. The Modular design means that the mother bored and CPU cables are already installed, and SATA and PCI/E cables can be plugged in as you need them.
CONS:
1. The cables that are used to power my SATA drives are daisy chains. There are 3 connectors on one cable, the only problem that I had is that the gaps between them are too short, and the overall length of the cable is too short. But this does depend on the size and design of your case.
2. If you have an 2.5 inch drive installed on the bottom of a computer case, it can be difficult to install the power supply connector, I had to use one of the middle connectors and bend the wires round. This worries me because it could come loose in the future and break.
Overall, I think the CONS are not a problem if you have one drive so I would recommend this to home users. I do update my reviews in the future.
