Cons:wattage and price

Great power supply would've hoped that it had a bigger amount of wattage capacity but other than that It's a great power supply. I got it on sale for 84.99$ so it was definitely an attractive buy. |

Antec HCG-520M 520W ATX12V V2.32 EPS 2.92 80PLUS Bronze 135mm Fan ATX Active PFC Power Supply
Cons:-None at the moment
Pros:-Modular-Got it at a great price-Quality power supply made by Seasonic Comment:
After price matching it and the mail in rebate($15) at the time, this came out to $55, before taxes and postage for the rebate.Antec does not build their own power supply so it is important to determine who is the manufacturer for a particular model they offer. The link below is a good start in determining the manufacturer for various power supplies.http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913.htmlOnce the manufacturer has been determined, you need to read up on them and reviews of the product to determine the quality of their products.I received my rebate in about 6 weeks, which was amazing, compared to MSI, which says it'll take 8-10 weeks(I'm still waiting for it!).I haven't had the time to read up on overclocking but I am sure that 520W will be enough to overclock a 3570K, MSI Hawk 7870 and Patriot 4x4GB Ram. |

Cons:None.
Pros:ModularGood design. Comment:
The HCG-520M is a very reliable power supply, as I have seen from my friend's builds. This PSU provides as much power as I need for my Asus Geforce GTX 660 ti, and 3570K. |

Antec HCG-520M 520W ATX12V V2.32 EPS 2.92 80PLUS Bronze 135mm Fan ATX Active PFC Power Supply
Cons:- 2 months later, no word on my rebate.
Pros:2 months in my system and running stable so farExtremely quietVery little heat coming off back of fanlots of spare cables Comment:
I'm using this in my new i7 build and it's been running great. very quiet and very little heat coming out of it. Antec could be better with their rebates. I'm expecting a $20 rebate I mailed in almost 2 months ago and I haven't even received an email acknowledging that my form was sent in. My Gigabyte and MSI rebates had electronic tracking features and I already received the money back, meanwhile I have no idea what Antec is doing. |

Antec HCG-520M 520W ATX12V V2.32 EPS 2.92 80PLUS Bronze 135mm Fan ATX Active PFC Power Supply
Cons:No single component cables.
Pros:Unit and cabling look pleasing.Whisper quiet.Very little heat. Comment:
I've been using the PSU steady for 3 months now, it works great, is whisper quiet, gives off absolutely no heat, and the modular design is wonderful in terms of organization and looks.Some modular PSUs come with single component cables in addition to multiple component cables, so those of us with very minimal systems do not have to deal with the extra dangling sata/molex connectors. This one has only multiple component cables. |

Antec HCG-520M 520W ATX12V V2.32 EPS 2.92 80PLUS Bronze 135mm Fan ATX Active PFC Power Supply
Cons:Very few cables, upside down sticker when flipped
Pros:Good quality and super quiet, "stealth" cables look nice Comment:
Great PSU, Seasonic is suppose to be the OEM so its built good.It has very few cables, not enough to even fill the available modular interface.Those with windowed cases and the PSU fan facing downwards your fan will be upside down. |

Cons:Not enough cables to fill all the connectors on the power supply.
Pros:It's a Seasonic so its a good PSU. Really like modular PSU's and on sale a good price. Comment:
I bought the Corsair version of this PSU and didn't have any problems with it and don't expect to have any problems with this one. Bought many Antec PSU's with no problems so I trust this to be as good. |

Pros:Good Performance,Quiet Comment:
Brought it for my friend's PC when it is on sale $59.99. Very nice performance, very quiet(I personally have a OCZ one and it is a little noisy). Not worth when it is not on sale |
Good for its money, very quiet.
