Muy buena fuente, rango A en la escala de PSU tierlist de SPL. Lo único malo es que su ventilador es bastante ruidoso.

While obviously you can't really review a PSU fully until you've used it for a few years, as longevity is what you're really looking for, at least in my opinion. However, what I can review is the ease of installation, power provided, and the include accessories and in that department, I'd say this is certainly a winner. Standard mounting holes allowed for easy install to the case (screws being included are a nice touch as well). Included cables seem sturdy, though not braided, I didn't really expect them to be for a psu this cheap though so I'm not taking points off for that. GPU 12vhp cable seems good, better than the adapter I was using before, and was a big reason for the purchase, as I'm terrified of my $800 GPU getting ruined by one of those adapters. And so far it seems to be providing adequate power with no issues during a full gaming load. Seems pretty quite as well. Also, including a 24 pin jumper for testing is absolutely awesome and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that, that's a huge plus for this thing in my opinion. Add to all that the included 10 year warranty, and I'd say overall, you're getting a really nice, high wattage psu for $102 (at the time of writing), and that alone is worth it. The added extras are nice and so far the quality seems solid. Will update if it decides to die within a year or so.

I've been using SeaSonic's 750w psu, but I recently upgraded my rig with more power consumption. When my pc runs really intense work, I realize it is consuming more than 650w. As far as I know, it is the best to match max load of a pc to 60-80% of psu rate. Think about car engine's redzone, you will get the idea. After I replace my psu with this one, I see that my pc's peak power consumption reaches around 710w, which might be not good for the previous 750w psu. It's been working without any noise or system instability. I thing I must note: psu is the most important part in your pc. If it dies, it will likely to kill your precious cpu, mb, ram or gpu. It is not a good idea to cut budget too much for a psu. Still this item has decent price - Around $10 per 100W and 10 year warranty are good deal.

This is a nice PSU, but I should have looked closer at what is included. There is only 1ea 8 pin to 8 pin CPU cable included. My motherboard and most new gaming motherboards require 2 for high power demands. I was able to use an old cable from my previous PSU but that may not be an option for everybody. I tried the the 8 pin to 2x6 pin pci-e cables but the pinouts are wrong and won't line up. I'm really not sure why the ASRock didn't include 2 of the 8x8 cables, so for that reason I'm only giving it 4 stars. Other than that, it's a heavy duty beast of a PSU.
