    Basic, inexpensive, and effective Powering my RTX 660 GPU, i7 3770k (OC to 4.2) 5 fans, fan controller, 32GB Ram, an SSD drive, and an optical BluRay drive. I wish all wires were black instead of Red\Yellow\Black color, but at the price point, can't complain too much.

    I'm a rookie builder, as this is the second system I've put together, but this power supply will get you going to be sure. Only complaint? It's not modular, but at this price point, you won't see this feature anywhere. Ready to install and even manage the cables not used in the build. On a budget? Get you money out and pick up one of these power supplies.

    This power supply is good for the price. Provides power to an external GPU - keep in mind it only has one cable for the 8-pin connectors. The one wire has 3 ports on it so that you can fill your GPU with all it's power ports, but is it delivering extra power? I don't think so.

    I personally would recommend this Power supply to anyone who just wants their PC to run without caring what the interior of their PC looks like. It has mustard and ketchup wired but you can cover with Black electrical tape if needed.

    I was having problems finding a Power Supply at other outlets, and when ordered from Best Buy it arrived exactly when they said it would. I received it and was able to replace the old one in about 10 minutes and the computer fired up with no issues.

    The power went out in my house and that caused my power supply in my desktop to stop working because the power supply died and I looked on Best Buy website and saw the Thermaltake power supply and purchased it and I am delighted that it works great.

    Perfect replacement for 9 year old PC

    Had an HP Elite 510y where it's power supply (for whatever reason, be it end of life or user error) finally went. Because a lot of those older PCs were using smaller than mid-atx (I always thought these were large when I was younger) I was worried that the power supply's sizes weren't going to be compatible. But everything worked and this acted as a perfect and modernized replacement for the aged supply that we had. With a more modern supply, we could make sure that additional drives had appropriate plugs rather than using potentially dangerous adapters. While it doesn't match the grey color the original case had, but you don't stare at the back of the PC day to day, especially when you're a casual user.

    I mean it’s just a battery lol. I have had no issues so far. Do not forget to clean the dust off the fan once in a while. I think this can handle anything it is needed for.

    At just around 50 dollars for this PSU you cannot go wrong, very quiet under full load and the cable layout is really great. Very close to a perfect product. Had the cables been completely black I would have gave a 5 star rating.
