Desecrator said:So much so for your leet Google'ing skills, I fail to foresee the unit(s) you were complaining of failing thrice over!
The best I could do was this -
CM UCP 900W failure - Google Search
Any power supply can fail due to a lot of reasons. The first batch of the Seasonic M12D 850 units shipped to India was a bad batch in itself. I had to replace mine twice over. Does it translate to a bad power supply? I'm sure quite a few power supplies from Corsair as well arrived DOA - I have seen members in the forum complaining about the same. OW from jonnyguru himself has rated that power supply a notch above the TX850 - I can blindly trust him going by his reviews on the forum!
And lastly, just in case you didn't know as yet, everyone on the forum is entitled to have their views as well!
vasim21 said:Ur facts are pretty clear as i can see ! There's something called as GOOGLE & nobody's asking u ur own views here !
People have reported their UCP 900 series failing thrice in an years time !

Customer Reviews Of COOLER MASTER UCP RS900-AAAAA3 900W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Power Supply
Usually most products on newegg end up getting 4 or 5 stars even if the product barely works. Its pretty usual to see at least 50~60% 5 star ratings on a decent product. So Personally I wouldn't touch any product which has got too many bad reviews on newegg and this PSU got no less than 43% bad reviews. Ofcourse I agree that there are always the occasional bad egg, but if 43% of the people who bought the PSU are dissatisfied, then there's something definitely wrong.
In contrast check the user reviews for a PSU like HX 850
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16817139011
86% 5 star ratings and 6% 1 and 2 star ratings combined.
hellgate said:Hi guys,
I've a question.
I know that a UCP 900W wud handle a GTX 480 but wud it hav enuf juice to handle 2 GTX 480 in SLi?
only reason i'm worried is ths PSU has the +12v rail split into 5 rails & the last 2 (22A each) pwr the gpu.
Please do lemme know.

Desecrator said:You should also take into consideration the total number of reviews for the power supply which is just 63! And there is an equal number of reviews which has voted it 5 eggs!
Take this review for instance - out of the 11 reviews it has got, everyone seems to have rated it a 5 eggs! Have you even heard of that manufacturer? Which of them would retail a 1kW power supply at 160 USD?
I'd say trust Egg's ratings with a grain of salt. Any power supply can turn out to be a dud. Seems like a lot of batches from the UCP 900W did have problems going by the ratings in NE - perhaps the QC certification was flawed or maybe something else. Honestly, I had my share of agony when the Seasonic M12D 850W turned out to be DOA. Twice!
Agreed the Corsair power supplies are one of the best efficient power supplies out there. Just that the UCP series cannot be compared to the Extreme Power/Extreme Power Plus series from Coolermaster and the entire series can thus be blamed.
hellgate said:How bout a TX 750W? askin cuz getting it at a gr8 price of 6k.
It has a single 12v rail & 60A on its. So wud it handle the load. I think it wud rt?
mutant said:the brand new TX 750 is 6.8k or so (check lynx)...so it isn't really a good deal :\ i would rather go with a brand new one for 700-800 bucks extra then a used one...for saving 700-800 rs...
better to get a TX850 for 7.2k odd brand new
