Does anyone about this PSU???

Poor choice:
- No review whatsoever showing whether or not it can actually provide its rated wattage
- No review whatsoever of any Magnell PSU (the maker of that particular Rosewill PSU) exists
- Company with a known history of bad products

I recommend canceling if you can.

I don't get it either. There have a been plenty of good recommendations in this thread. I don't get the point of asking for a recommendation if he's just going to ignore them.

OP, canceling the order and getting one of the psu's mentioned here would be a wise thing to do. Again, you are skimping on $10 to $20 bucks. That is not that much. The PSU is one of the last things you want to get cheap on.

Magnell is just another registered name of Rosewill/Newegg.....look at their address on UL's website City of Industry California....same as Rosewill and newegg.

Ahh. So basically still no info about who's the actual maker of that PSU?
 
What?! how is this a poor choice? It's a decent size for my rig in my sig. it has whole bunch of amps.
(i dont know if having 4 rails is good or bad) but APFC, + more and to top it all off all the cables are mesh wraped. I had a crappy psu, i think it was a thermaltech 500W, that was running this before. I think it had like 32A on a single 12V. I need 2 PCIe connectors.

Amps that it can't reliably supply: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/694/7

And when pulling 650 W from this unit, it shut down after two minutes, when some protection kicked in (most probably the overload or over temperature protection). This seems to be a textbook example of a power supply labeled at 25º C, a temperature that is never reached inside the PC case (power supplies lose their ability to deliver current and thus power with temperature). We test power supplies at more realistic temperatures, between 45º C and 50º C.

Neither, although I suspect that it really only has one or two rails and the others are virtual.

APFC is one piece of a much bigger puzzle. I used it as an example of why another PSU most likely isn't a good-quality unit, since many cheaper and older PSUs do not have it. However, just because a PSU does have it does not automatically mean it is a good unit.

You decided to ignore all the advice given to you in this thread as well as all of the quality PSUs suggested to you. That was not a good decision, and you ended up purchasing something that is most certainly not a high-quality PSU. I hope that you are able to return it to Newegg and opt for a better unit instead (hopefully, one that you'll ask about first to make sure that you end up with something good).
