Great pice, good Quality name brand w/good reviews from variouse PSU tech sites, and easy to install even thought I had built a custom PC from scratch many years ago (Dinasour-PC-XT) when we were still using the (truelynamed-FLOPPY-disks and DOS comands for files and navigation. Had pleanty of connectors for most common devices and even some variouse Molex ones like I was fammiliar with on old PC devices. Oh! and it's much quieter than the OEM-(minimum PSU) that came w/the PC from Dell. I'm using this PSU for a {Dell-Inspiron 620 Desktop which is supplying power for all devices from the Motherboard (PCIe express)Wireless Mouse,Keyboard,device charging via USBport, etc. Currently running: NVIDIA/Model-GeForce GT 610-(which I frequently use a 30ft. HMI video cable to it's output for watching movies on my bigscreen TV); Fresco Logic USB 3.0 adaptor card; Frequently used for 2-backup drives.

Power Supply Seems Solidly Constructed With What Appears To Be Heavy Duty Wiring And Operates Quietly

My almost 9 year old PC has been having some noisy fan issues for about one year now. First I replaced the CPU fan, the noise was still there. Did a thorough pressurized air dusting of the inside of the PC cabinet and all the fan blades, still had the periodic up and down whining of the fan. Thought I had found the noise to be coming from the power supply so after much research I determined the EVGA brand to be the best replacement option. I received this new power supply just a few weeks ago so I cannot give a long term feedback on how well it performs at this time but it seems like a very solid unit with wiring that seems to be heavy duty. I had only ever replaced a power supply one time in the 30+ years I have owned a computer so once I got the old unit out of the case I laid it on the side of the case and proceeded to replace the connectors one at a time rather than trying to remember all of the connections from memory. Everything went smoothly but after starting the PC back up I could not get my DVD drive to work. Seems that the power cable from the old unit had pulled off when I moved it out of it's bracket. Hooked up the new power supply cable to it and all is well. The unit is quiet and proving an extra 40W over my previous 460W unit but just as a note to anyone else with fan noise issues - replacing the power supply did not resolve my fan noise issues. Ultimately, after much more trying to narrow where the noise was coming from, I finally found it was a fan on the bottom of my graphics card. I had no idea there was a fan there and there was no indication in the original configuration of the PC. So now I have a partially rebuilt PC that should last me a few more years and this new power supply will help it get those extra years.

So far it works great as designed and better than the OEM

Just got this as a replacement, for my Gateway DX-487-UB17 works flawlessly, very quiet has every connection needs plus, So far it works great as designed and better than the OEM. I will update it if I have any problems. UPDATE: 8/14/2016 OK so initially I purchased this item because I thought I had a defective PS unit for my LEMON GATEWAY DX-4870-UB-17 no it turns out Gateway sold my a lemon and the motherboard seized exactly 1 year 1 month latter as you can see they only give you 1 year warranty please if you are purchasing a computer from anywhere you need to purchase an extended warranty to protect your purchase as you can see I just lost 600.00. I was able to get a loan from a friend and Purchased a new Desktop model #Acer Aspire TC-605 and installed this P/S unit in before I ever turned on this new PC and I am so happy I did this power supply has done wonders I can add more memory an graphics card and not worry about under powering or a faulty P/S. Bottom line mostly all Computer Desktops are under powered and some will cause a short and fry your Hard drive, or Video card etc a faulty P/S can cause lots of damage as per my case into further inspection it turns out the Gateway Desktop P/S that came inside the unit stock shorted out my motherboard. so it's either a new motherboard around $300.00 or spend $200.00 more and have a new desktop for me it was a no brainier as I could always mess with the gateway brick.Hope I have helped you. "O" Sorry almost forgot to mention the best warranty I have ever dealt with is from Square Trade right here on AMAZON.com, very easy very cheap do some research it pays to have a warranty, thanks for reading my review.

Good price for a decent power supply. Works as it should.

EVGA makes great products! I used this in a budget build. (AMD Ryzen 1600x Overclocked, B350 MoBo, EVGA GTX 970 SSC, SSD, 3 fans) Puts out enough power for mid-level gaming PC. During full-load, prime95 (CPU) and Furmark (GPU) stress testing, this power supply held up and didn't drop voltage. It's not modular, but it works just fine. I'll always be a EVGA fan and will buy their products in the future.

The best for the money. Period.

This one is a no brainer folks. Let me explain. I'm a system builder with over 2500 builds under my belt, mostly gaming rigs. Over the years I've used every single name brand power supply on the market looking for that "sweet spot", the perfect combo of price to performance. The EVGA series of power supplies has only gotten better with time, and I find myself using all of their power supplies, almost exclusively. This version is the lowest tier they sell, and the price may make you think "this has got to be a piece of garbage for that price!" And even I thought so....at first. Unlike Corsair and their hit and miss CX series, this series is rock solid and stable as all get out. Even after several YEARS of use, they still work great, no issues at all. The warranty proves that EVGA stands behind their lowest end product, and no other manufacturer seems to have as much faith in their lowest tier product...I wonder why? ;-) Honestly, if you wan't a strong, well designed STABLE power supply for anything from a web surfer to a full on gaming rig, EVGA is the best on the market right now, no if's and's or but's. Save the cash and buy a better video card or more memory and know you got the power end covered.

Fits Dell Optiplex 790 minitower

I bought a refurbished Dell recently to use as a full-time network video recorder (NVR) for my cameras. Since this machine was going to be left on 24/7, I decided to change out the 5 year old OEM PSU rated at 265watts. I chose this one because I've trusted EVGA products for years. I just wanted to let everyone know it fit like a glove and even lined up properly with the existing mounting holes. The PC booted up fine and everything works great. I'll edit this review in a year to update everyone.

Great Replacement Power Supply

So far so good ~ Here is the link to the exact item I am reviewing here ~ EVGA 500 W1 80+, 500W Continuous Power, 3 Year Warranty Power Supply 100-W1-0500-KR I purchased this power supply as a replacement for the power supply that appears to have gone bad in my desktop computer. I contacted the EVGA customer service toll free number before making the purchase to make sure this would fit in our particular desktop computer. I found their toll free phone number on their website and I was very pleased that I did not have to wait on hold for a long time and an actual person answered who was very helpful and was here in America. He looked up my part number for my malfunctioning power supply and verified that this replacement power supply would indeed fit in my desktop computer. It was very nice to have that kind of great customer service before I even purchased this power supply. My husband installed this new power supply in our computer and it works great. I love the fact that this comes with a three year warranty and I know that I can get the customer service people on the phone if I need to make a warranty claim. Each of the wire bundles for each connector that come with this power supply are all covered in a mesh material that makes it easier to place all the wires back in the desktop tower. I am very pleased with this purchase and I highly recommend this power supply to anyone who needs a new one in a desktop computer. This was an excellent purchase.

Impressive high quality PSU. Quiet and worth every penny.

This 500 Watt EVGA power supply is amazing for the price. I like that the cables are all fully sleeved with heat shrink ends that help keep things neat in a loaded case. And there are connectors for game cards, dual 12v motherboard connectors, 6 SATA, 3 Molex and more. The large fan runs very quiet and keeps my home server cool. With 6 3.5" hdd's and 3 case fans, its nice to know there is plenty of watts on hand. It also came with a power cord, and new mounting screws. My server is build in tower case, about 17 inches tall, and all the cables were long enough to reach where they go. And the 80+ rating means it is fairly efficient at converting 120V to the 12, 5 and 3V that PC's run on so its not wasting energy. Important in a server that is on 24/7. In fact, the HDD's are running 4 to 6 degrees Celsius cooler with this PSU than the Logisys it replaced. I attribute this to the fan moving more cubic feet of heat out of the box than the old PSU did, and not running as hot and radiating heat back into the case. It has great fit and finish, and is twice the weight of the PSU it replaced. I have replaced dozens of PSU's as part of my PC repair business, and this is the first that I was truly impressed with. I will buy EVGA power supplies again.

Perfect low cost PSU for a system with single GPU

It's not modular, but between you and me, once it's in your case and all wired-up, who cares if there is 2-3 unused cables lying in the case. One big advantage is that this is one of very few low cost PSU that comes with two (2) PCI-E 6+2 pins required for high end GPU like GTX1070 or 1080.

Great, reliable PSU for new and budget builders

Just built my first PC, woot! This PSU has been great, no issues at all. Comes with the essential connectors and plenty of sata/molex for additional storage,cooling, etc. One caveat - for first time and novice builders, cable management is tough, and this non-modular unit is no exception. I have just a few sata power connections at the moment, and the extra connectors are tough to bunch down and tie up neatly. Same goes for other cables. I recommend installing the PSU and route cables accordingly before throwing in your remaining components. Also, if you're trying to make your PC look pretty, this is not the PSU for you, ketchup and mustard cables are thinly braided. Excellent entry-level unit overall!
