Don't be mislead, that is an excellent power supply. For my personal usage, I like a very quiet power supply and presently Seasonic and Corsair are both very quiet. I am not saying the "Toughpower" is loud, but it is not as quiet as the ones I have listed.

You mentioned lifetime warranty and IMHO, lifetime might mean the MTBF time or 120,000 hours, because that is the expected life of this power supply. Many of them ony give the MTBF time as 100,000 hours and some of the cheapies list it as 60,000 hours. Just giving you this to compare, O.K.?

Toughpower power supplies are excellent so don't be afraid to purchase one of these.
