Immediately like the very good workmanship. Compact, well-closed, very good quality work. Thick cable strands that give no cause for concern, and their easy access. My no-name power supply that adopted for more money (!) And previously worked with a "puff" up (!!), made a lower quality impression in every respect.
In addition (and as the electrician is needed), to power supplies of "Be quiet!" stand for safe and stable voltages.
Larger flaw I can not determine. The only thing I tried was to connect an "old" monitor, which remained black. Missing it then but to Power? Unfortunately, not observed. In benefit of the doubt (PSU) and against an old component (Monitor)
In my opinion, this power supply can also be sufficient in 2014 to bring a mid-range system to run and keep on running - as long as you keep the hardware in mind and does not begin to want to connect dual graphics cards.
My computer components:
1x SSD (OS)
1x HDD
1x DVD Burner
Motherboard: Asrock Z68 Pro3 Gen3
Intel i5-2400
8GB RAM
Sapphire Radeon 7870 2GB
With this system (soon 3 years old), can be the way to work today still reasonable and well run also the latest games to my satisfaction. Everything that goes beyond that, then should anyway go towards a complete system change.
If I'm going to do this in 2016 and the power supply should remain stable until then, I'm going to "Be quiet!" remain faithful.
