Power Supply XClio Goodpower 750W-2012-12-24

I have had this XClio Goodpower 750W for about a week now and it has been on that entire time none stop. I"m a big gamer and i can say that so far there are no issues at all it run smooth and quite very nice.  I chose this psu after my a-power 800w died, and this one is considerably more silent. I thought it was doa until I looked at my hdd activity light. Very easy to install. I will buy this same psu for my another build. 80Plus Bronze certified, good!

Pros: Good design and construction. Everything comes apart with screws for customization. Plenty of airflow around HDDs.


Cons: Activity light is too dim. Fans are loud.


Other Thoughts: I only have 7200rpm drives and have power management enabled therefore I was able to open and disable both fans without any side effects. The case itself gets plenty of airflow over the disks without the fans at all. It would have gotten 5 stars if the fans were silent. I haven"t tried it but suspect that 10k drives would work just fine without the fans as well as long as they"re not spinning 24x7.
