Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Thermaltake W0070RUC TR2 Series 430W Power Supply with 2 Fans
Customer Review: Great PSU for older Compaq Presario 5000 5WV254
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a power supply to replace an extremely noisy PSU I purchased elsewhere in 2008. Not many new PSUs will work on a Presario manufactured in 2000 (because of something related to the ATX version and perhaps other things which I can't accurately explain. I found this out the hard way in November 2009 - by purchasing and having to return a PSU that would not power up my system). I contacted Thermaltake directly and was told the W0070RUC would work in my PC. So I bought this, and it works! And I have purchased a second one to have on hand, "just in case". And incidentally, I now hear hard drive activity again. Also, I can hear some low-level noise from my CPU fan again, which is a joy (believe it or not) because the other PSU was so loud that it was driving me crazy! I'm not sure if I am hearing fan noise from the W0070RUC but even if I am, it is not annoying to me.Customer Review: Incredible!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this PSU to replace my old 350w, as my PC was shutting off at unexpected times. The difference it has made is amazing. I didn't know why at the time, but before I had streaky lines on my monitor, where every other line was darker than the one before. Now that's all gone, nice and clear! Also, I use a 7.1 speaker system and an X-fi XtremeGamer card. The difference in sounds is also outstanding. As well, my "stutters" in the one game I've played so far, seem to have almost vanished. Frame rates seem, although not much higher, alot smoother. (Same FPS, fewer "pauses")
As for the unit it's self, it was easy to install and the cables are bound together in a neat fashion, reducing clutter inside the case. The black/gold colors are attractive, and this was the best priced unit I could find in this quality/watt range. Very pleased so far.
Customer Review: All you need, for a home desktop.
Summary: 5 Stars
This 430W unit is really all you need for a home desktop pc. I purchased one from a local computer store and 2 more from Amazon. I used the first one to build a 939 chipset AMD 2.1gig sytem with a SATA hardrive, a DVD-rw, and an nVidia 7300GS videocard. That computer has worked flawlessly for nearly two years, with no PSU problems at all. My newest build; is a AM2 chipset 2.6g AMD Athlon 5200, with another SATA hardrive, a XFX 8600gt video card, and multiple optical drives. This Thermaltake 430W is still more than enough to power it. It installs easily, it has more connections than I'll ever need and it's a very quiet unit. I have not had any problems or defects with the 3 that I've gotten. My only complant is that the 2 SATA connections are too close together (and I've also had to remove some of that bulky knitted nylon wire wrapping).Customer Review: Verry happy with it
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this on Thanksgiving day, 11-22-07, I rcvd it on 11-24-07, THAT WAS fast, no extra charge. MORE than enough connecters to connect everything I had with plenty left over. It also has a 6 pin pwr connecter for pcie video cards. Would be an easier install if the on/off switch was not on the back of this, as there was NO CUTOUT on my computers case frame for the switch, I simply ground it down with a dremmel tool. Other than that is is a simple install. It has 2 fans that run VERY queit. I bought this for an add on VIDEO card and also because my original Dell PSU was only 330w with a VERY VERY noisey fan of late. Now lets see how long the rebate takes. All connectors fit very well. Someon else though they might be a little snug, but if there is too much slack it is a trouble closing case back up, so I feel it is just fine.Customer Review: Excellent power supply for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
- Despite having two 80mm fans, this PSU is really quiet.
- All of the cables are wrapped in a mesh sleeve for a nice, clean look.
- Powerful enough for my older system: Athlon x2 4200+, 8800GTS 320MB, 250GB HDD, DVD burner.
- Inexpensive.
Cons:
- There are only two SATA connectors and they're really close together. Forget about having a SATA DVD in the top bay and a SATA HDD at the bottom bay on a larger case.
- Mesh sleeving makes the cables a bit thicker and stiffer to position in the case.
- Minor issue specific to Antec P series case owners, but the power cables weren't long enough to snake through the cable management system on my Antec P-182. I had to just drape the cables over my motherboard and video card.
