Duel fans keep the system cool. My system had over clocking problems installed this PSU and it works great and the computer runs like hell. No problems only thing is the supply is a bit long so make sure you have enought room to install.

Worked great for about a year, then died completely. The glow in the dark cable sheathing also took up a lot of space in my Micro-ATX case, making it hard to fit stuff in without jamming the fans.

Had to install it upside down (like most things), and rather instantly, the board inside it fell down and a component of it leaned against the outside fan, which made a horrendous noise when I turned it on. After having some fun with a screwdriver for about an hour, the problem was ''fixed''. A year to a year and a half after installing it, the fan speed became unstable unless I maxed it out; a few months later and I haven't been to adjust the fan speed since (at all). Other than that, a fine product.

This is a neat power supply that delivers what it says on the box and online specs. Good led blue lighting on the fans, and I like the adjustable fan dial. You can cut back on decibels by dialing it down when doing processor/video light tasks.
Apevia could come up with a version that would provide more SATA connectors than the spartan 2 provided with this PS. However, SATA cable connectors are out there at $6.50 or so apiece. But that does not improve cable clutter...
Anyways, congrats to Apevia product designers for conceiving it and to Tiger Direct for carrying this product.
