There is no better PSU.... really
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I have tried units from various other manufacturers.... several top end models. This is the quietest of them all, even ones that were claimed as "silent". This is because the fan is not the only thing that makes noise in a PSU. There is also a certain amount of electromagnetic interference that is audible in power supplies. Do the vsync test and you will kno...

Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: The fan does not get loud under heavy loads. Power supply is stable under heavy loads. I would recommend this power supply to any one looking for one with high efficiency, stability, and a quiet fan. Antec support got back to me right away to assist me.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Follow up to last review regarding the power supply getting really hot during heavy ...

Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: None
Cons: I am very disappointed in this PS. For something that is hand check you would figure there would not be any defects. I installed this PS along with my other items I purchased. It booted up and seemed to run fine, then I started to get a clicking noise in the middle of installing my new 9800gtx+. Needless to say the monit...

Not very reliable

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: No Pros, havent been able to get it to work for an extended period of time
Cons: I purchased this item, installed it, worked for bit, then stopped. For weeks I have tried and failed to make this thing operate correctly. I have 3 power supples, an 1100 and a 650, both able to power my rig, but this one just will not, its almost as if its groun...

Could It Get Any Prettier?
I think Antec hired the same company that does packaging for Apple to package this power supply. If what's inside the box was garbage, the packaging wouldn't matter - but this is one solid huge well built power supply.
The box - there's a black cardboard/paper sleeve. You slide that off to reveal a black box top and bottom with a yellow box in between. Take off the top and you are greeted with a black cardboard insert with a real live signed by a human being performance print out. Und...

Absolutely ridiculous build quality
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I think they hire autistic midgets to build this thing, super clean.
Cons: none. If anything the wires were stiff but that is because they seem to be a thicker grade.
Other Thoughts: worth the price. Bulletproof.

Antec does it again!!
I knew sticking with Antec would be in my best interest and once again, I'm not being let down. This PSU is whisper quiet, provides a ton of constant clean power to all of my devices (and I have a TON) and it looks nice and clean sitting in my case. All of my old gaming machines have Antec PSU's in them and they still work great. I know I will get a long life out of this new Signature 850 and from what I have seen thus far, I highly recommend it!
