Let’s talk about cables.  There are significant number of them.  The first thing you’ll notice when you pick up the PSU is that only the basics are coming out of the normal bundle.  Basics being 24pin motherboard/CPU connectivity.  All other accessory cables are modular in fashion, meaning you will select them from the huge pile of cables included and attach them to modular plugs as needed.  It’s worth mentioning, that every cable that is in this box is wrapped in an attractive black mesh sleeve.  This keeps things tidy and improves airflow, as well as aesthetic.  In addition, every single end is clearly labeled.  It’s not that the type of user purchasing this hardware doesn’t know what everything is, but again; they’ve just really gone above and beyond.

    how loud is it under load the GX

      I dont think its horribly loud and I dont have a buzz noise (yet atleast)

      That’s because the plain GX is an extremely low end design that can barely put out 500W. It was and is a piece of shit. This newer version, on the other hand, is a pretty decent ATNG design, who used to make server units.

      Also, capacitor/coil squelling is a luck of draw. It can happen to any unit, and gives you the right to RMA if it happens so.

    Funny how in the specs it says 6-2 pin x4 times and the review says only 2 and its not capable of crossfire/sli. Why should i buy a 700w power supply when i cant even connect two 7950s? what is it now 2x 6-2 pin or 4x 6-2 pin?
