The one I had lasted 3 years running almost constantly. My video card went bad and took it with it. I upgraded to an 800 Watt Thermaltake model when I replaced the video card. You didn't mention what else you are running like additional hard drives or DVD / CD drives. It's a good, dependable power supply, so it may be all you need. Personally, I would go a little bigger.

The Yeti is a great power unit, but I would be hesitant using it to power a fan because most fans draw quite a few amps. Obviously a small fan might work for a while, but probably not provide sufficient air flow for the horse and/or flies. The Yeti 150 is great for small electronic devices that draw smaller amounts of amps.

I just saw this demonstrated on HSN and am interested. So that means I'm researching and reading reviews. Noticed the one on the QVC site claims a 1700W, 2-1/4 horsepower motor. If correct, that's slightly different to this 1400 W motor.

More power from the LXX (1000 BTU per burner more), built-in thermometer, and better build quality. This is the one I would get.

No! Lmao get am 8in bro 1000 watts puts off some serious heat. Unless the air flowing through is really cold.

I bought this to replaced a socket that supported 150 watt one. However, the original socket was damaged from the heat of 150 watts. I am currently using a flourescent 3-way, 150 watt replacement, rated at 16/25/32 watts. This runs cooler and works fine for me.

Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using. I have a big CPU cooler and this graphic card and I was reading 300 or so watts at the wall receptacle. I lean the way of others. While you could probably get by for a while with your power supply, solid voltage = stability in the computer world. If your PS is always near its limit, you may run in a lot of issues. A PS is fairly cheap and easy to install. I have a seatronic 750 S series to give me room for expansion in the future but it may be an overkill. A good 650 would be just fine for sure.Regards Hi robert,Sorry for the delay, I used a watt meter to see how much my system was using.

I dont know why in the box you had this issue. But the 1000watt overheats and is not more powerful that the 800watt. I have both and they feel almost the same. The resistance that the currant makes because the cable is not anybigger than the 800 it makes the cables over heat and melt. The cable is the same size on both so it doesnt mater how much more power ether have it comes down to what the cables can transmit and also without overheat factor..... The company has a good return policy.... Get a newone.

I am not sure. On low we're supposed register it at 100, but I find it is not a true reading. It seems to run hotter on all settings. The more I use mine, the less satisfied I am with this product.

I don't know which is better but I've had this one for almost a year now and it is powering 4 component speakers and a kicker solo r5 and have not had any problems with it. Such a solid buy. I would defiantly recommend this amp. True grit! And I live in Phoenix so heat is not a problem for it! Hope that helps.

I have taken this one apart and it had a 90 watt power supply. I have since moved on to better built lights and I am not a fan of these Blackstar units. Just fyi 45x3 is 135 not 145. Leds are not efficient being run at 100% of their wattage rating.

You have to follow the Frigidaire link farther down the page and look it up on their website. This one is 115. Anything bigger than this, or with heat, is 220-240.

I've used both, it has more torque at the lower settings but is also heavier and gets hot faster.

12 watt is almost half the size of 20w fan just get 20 watt and save time with bigger fan it will perform better and only 30 bucks more for the most part.

I don't believe that it will have sufficient power. I built nothing but 350 to 400 watt computers up until the time I finished that machine. Since then, to be safe and not sorry, I have installed Thermaltake 700's and one Coolermaster 600 80% guaranteed unit in my newer builds. When the prices come down with rebates, there is no need to under power these machines. More IS better and simplifies things a lot.
