Rosewill Capstone

[futurefields]

What do you guys think about those ones?

Newegg has the 650 watt modular for 89.95, seems like a good deal with the quality of components

not a fan of the "Rosewill" name but meh....

Capstones are quality units. Newegg has the 750W modular unit for less than the 650W modular one, not counting rebate... only today though

Here's Anandtech's review of the 450W and 650W units: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5698/rosewill-capstone-450w-and-650w-80plus-gold

Ordered the 650-modular for $89.99 - $15.00 rebate = $74.99

Wow, we got a Rosewill agent here?!?! Welcome to AnandTech Forums!

I personally use a Capstone 450W in my current rig. So far it has met my needs, though I wish it was "shorter" because it sticks out the back of my system since there wasn't room inside.

arrived today and i got it installed.

looks really nice, i like the "rock" finish.

one thing i dont like is how frustrating it in installing these when you have a big cooler etc... so frustrating with the stiff cables, you think you are going to break something.

anyways, so far so good.

cheers,

Is it ok to use the 2x pci-e connectors from the same modular cable to power my 7950?

Or should I ease 1 each from seperate modular cables?

Thanks,

Yes it's ok. A unit with 4x PCIe connectors is designed to work with dual high end GPUs, in which case you'd be also using two connectors from the same cable

I'm always amazed by the crowd that yaps about dual connector cables being stupid, " a 6 pin only carries 75 watts " :\
My oc'd GTX570 is powered by a dual connector cable

The one the OP linked is gold.
