Pros: At 650W, this PSU should have no problem powering a fairly loaded quad core system. Extremely quiet operation, highly efficient as an 80 PLUS certified PSU, plenty of power connectors for SATA and MOLEX. This PSU also has the 8-pin 12V EATX for motherboards and CPUs that make use of this type of power connector (recommended for Intel Quad core CPUs). The Antec EA650 is a great buy - costs half of what most other well-known SLI certified, crossfire ready PSU's sell for online.

Cons: None at all.

Overall Review: 650W is plenty of power, don't get conned by 14 yr olds on the various online forums out there who insist on 800W+ power supplies.

Pros: More than enough power for everything I have running on it and will run in the future. High quality, 80+ certified (tests/reviews/charts that I've seen showed it running within specifications and at 85%+ efficiency even while overloaded at 700+ watts, don't exactly wish to test this out myself tho) low price, more cables than you need, barely even gets warm, and crossfire ready. Quiet! I cannot hear this things fan over my case fans(which are set to low ~ 15-19 dB if that helps you) this caused me to worry at first thinking that the fan was not running but sure enough it was.

Cons: Not modular, extremely minor con and one that knew before I bought this PSU, but if you have a decent sized case this is not a real problem as there are plenty of places to tuck them away. Painted off-white/beige, Antec could have painted it black considering that the majority of cases out there are black aswell, but how often do you look at your PSU?

Pros: My previous review is down a bit further, but I had to refute what MGD had said a few posts down. He said his was very loud. My experience is exactly the opposite. My system is ultra quiet now compared to my "old" system which also had an antec PSU in it. This EA650 is completely silent. I had to look at the back to make sure the darn thing was on as it doesn't make any noise whatsoever.

Cons: None - owned the thing for 6 months now and it's rock solid and silent in operation.

Overall Review: Yes, it's very plain jane looking, but I don't care what it looks like... I care how it performs and if it's silent. It passes with flying colors on both of those fronts.

Pros: - Exceptional price / performance - Excellent manufacturer- Delta, makers of one of the best PSUs, the An**c Signature 850 - Independently regulated rails - Good 'hot' efficiency - Good long-term reliability (2+ years, daily use, no issues) - Reasonably quiet fan

Cons: - Non modular cable design could be an issue for neat freaks

Overall Review: I'm mostly just summarizing Jonny Guru's review of this product, but here's some additional spin- most system builders are irrational about their PSUs, so I say ignore most of these reviews and look for a solid technical review on a site like Jonny Guru or Hardware Secrets. In particular, many of the reviews here are based on marketing or aesthetics (fancy word for LED lights and paint job), when, in fact, most PSUs are actually assembled/built by a small number of manufacturers in China and Taiwan from a similarly small number of OEM components. Would Cors**r fanboys still be so rabid if their PSU had 'Channel Wells' or 'Seasonic' stenciled on a beige box? If you're like me and you're more interested in performance and price than gazing longingly at your components through the window in your case, save yourself the money and buy a well built PSU with a solid warranty. The EA650 is a good place to start.

Pros: Great for my i7-950 computer. More than I needed though I decided to spend $10-$20 more for a great brand and for 150w more power to future-proof my computer.

Cons: None.

Pros: None that I can think of.

Cons: Died after 4 days.

Overall Review: It died the day after I sent the UPC in for the mail in rebate. So, it seems I had a choice that I wasn't aware of. I could either choose good customer service, or the rebate. Without the UPC, newegg won't warranty it (though I don't know what they'd do with the code). I may be able to go through Antec, but they still won't have the UPC. It's a game.

Pros: 650W is plenty unless you have absolute top of the line graphics; relatively inexpensive; SLI Certified; 80 PLUS Certified

Cons: no modular cables

Overall Review: Have this running a i3 530, 2 HD's, 2x 2GB DDR3, DVD-RW, 2x 8800GT and 1x GT240 and it only pulls about 350W running all out. Plenty of room for other power draw devices.
