I scrubbed up some change and found a pretty good deal for an Antec Trio 650 from a friend. Since my 450w OCZ Modstream is a tad under spec'd, even though its been fine for the past year, I decided I needed a beefier PSU since Ill probably upgrade to dual-core and overclock with perhaps another 7600gs.

Anyway, all I have to say is that its a great PSU. Its a lot more stable than my OCZ because the voltages arent bouncing around at all, even though it was like 0.02v once in a while. Also, I feel more safe that its above the 480w recommended for DFI boards. Its also pretty quiet as well.

The negatives are its ugly and connectors arent for me. I only have 4-pin devices so there are 2 lines with them. One with 3 and one with 2 and a floppy connector. I never connect my hard drives on another connector unless it was another hard drive, old habit i guess. SO the rest of the connections are daisy-chained to the 2 four-pin and floppy drive.

One big question is, how the heck do I control the fans if I connect them to the "fan only" connectors?? None of my chassis fans spin because my system isnt enough to load it with prime95 going. Is there a way to make it so I can control my own fan speeds with the "control" on this PSU?

Anyway, great power supply for those looking for a decent deal. I saw them go for $80 at fry's.

Not really, they are automatically temp controlled.

great psu. It is still in my Core2 test rig that I've been pounding out SSDB and OCDB entries with (and using an 8800GTS as well as watercooling)

The "Fan Only" 4pin Molex connectors don't provide 12V to the device. Most times they use 12V and -5V to give a 7V output. This is why they are labeled "Fan Only" so you don't smoke other hardware.

Compare the wire colors going to one of these connectors with a regular 4pin Molex and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I have to agree with Angry Games. This is a great PSU. I have it in my "BatComputer" and I have no problems with it whatsoever. It's an excellent buy for $80.00 at Fry's. I bought mine for $125.00 from NewEgg back in December 2006.
