it only costs $119 and that's a heck of a value for the features this power supply has. Typical 80% efficiency, active power factor correction and modular cables!

A great PSU with 80+ efficiency, capability to run a single GTX285 setup (along with an OCed Q8400), and best of all, modular!

love the modular cables, fantastic for a good looking case with side window. runs nice and cool and doesn't heat up the ambient case temperature too much. runs my overclocked cpu,ram,gpu, and 6 case fans with ease. would definitely buy again for a single gpu system.

Bought this PSU for my HTPC build. Although the rated power is probably overkill for my application, I wanted a good PSU with a modular design for better cable management. Runs quiet and cool.

Awesome PSU, I really like the modular cables. Never had a power supply before that was this silent. 520W is enough power for my needs. 5 years warranty is great. If you have the money, go for it, it's really worth it.

Good air flow due to the large fan. the cables were easy to manage and have good connectors. More than enough power to support my Q6600, 4 banks of ram, EVGA 9500GT

I have built probably 20 computers useing these PSU's in the past year and everyone of them performance almost exactly the same. They are Seasonic OEM which is a proven reliable design. It's one of the only products in the computer industry that regardless of the situation (extremes excluded) I can reccomend either the HX520 or HX620. Corsair has really out done themselves with this unit.
