Is it really that good? Based on the reviews it's too good to be true for the price.

My 725w version caught fire shortly after arriving and had trouble staying on beforehand. I tried it because of the lower price but you get what you pay for.

No it's not "that" good. People are just buying PSU with higher wattages than they needed then reviewing them far too early in the product lifespan. Many of the junk PSU will run for a year or two before failure. There are many choices that are equivalent in the same price range, but of course finding a sale and/or rebate is always the best bet for a good quality:price ratio.

I was skeptical when I bought because it's so much cheaper (I got the 725w model) than other brands with equivalent power. But it's ounning in the desktop I'm using to answer this question, and has been for about two weeks with zero issues. I'm building my brother in law a PC next, and it's going to have this in it.

Most reviews seem to be for the 725, but my mother is using the 525 and aside from a cable issue it's been really good, she says it's also very quiet and runs with no problems.

So far the computer is running very well. It's only been in there about a week. If things changed I will update my review. I can tell you this, I received a email from the company thanking me for buying their product and if I would review it they will discount the prize 10.00.

It's actually really good...surprisingly so. Ill never buy a high priced one again

I think you are exactly correct! That's why it was rated as a questionable purchase.

Yes! This product is that good. And very affordable compared to the more expensive brands.

That is what the pricing says. It's a good product so after very careful consideration I would suggest buying one today ....and one tomorrow ....and one the day after that if you want. LMAO

Yes. After ordering, I fretted about it. I could not believe that I got it for $35.00. Then it came and it was the real deal. I have not seen it at that price again, because I would surely buy it again. I check ever so often to see if I can get it at that price again, but so far no luck.

Sadly yes it is! I have two and they are great. Shouldn't be so much because I'd buy 5 more but the price for one is too steep!

Oh yeah! I couldn't explain why it's so cheap, other than its not the newest out there. From what I can tell it's completely legit!

If it's a fake, they did a real good job! As best I can tell it's the real deal, and well worth the price. I really like mine.

I bought this item in June for full price. So I would assume it's the real thing. Almost seems to good to be true..

Yes it is. I was skeptical myself because of the price. But when it showed up it's definitely the real thing!

Yeah, it's too good to be true, at least for me! I don't know if it would work, but I know that it definitely won't while you sleep.

That would depend on what you were comparing it to I would suppose, right? I'm happy with the one I've purchased, which is really what you want to hear, right?

I agree that several reviews appear to overly positive and generic. It makes me suspicious that they might be fake reviews.

I ordered two. One worked. They gave me a refund for the one that didn't work. The other one is still working. Worth a try, but you can't expect it to be perfect at that price. If it works, you're ahead. If it doesn't work, you're only out a few bucks.

Yes, it is indeed the real deal. I have used this product for many years and this not only is the real deal in a sealed box, but it is an excellent price. Go for it - you won't be sorry.

Yes, see Gary and LIz answers. I have found the quality to be quite good and reliable.
