There are some Rosewills on this very forums list of Approved PSUs. (not that ONE, but the brand is far from all bad.)

There is a review of it on Jonnyguru. But the damn site wont load for me. Maybe OW will see this and know the deal.

Another review. It actually meets the requirements to be a recommended PSU.

Okay, I just read OW's review at Jonnyguru. I'll retract my previous statement about this particular power supply.

It seems this one is a Superflower based unit (or it was three years ago), assuming they still use the same OEM to build it.

So, that easily gets a pass from me. And was awarded a 9.1 overall in OW's review of it.

I just saw the low price and the name and assumed it was junk. (Nearly all of the Rosewill products I've used in the past have been junk, so I'm kinda biased.)

Wasn't trying to be rude, and I didn't mean it to come across that way. I actually use a Rosewill PSU. But I looked into it before I bought it, even got it on the list of recommended PSU's. 8 or so years ago I had a couple newegg freebie stuff they packaged along with orders, and every single thing they had was CHEAP. The most expensive thing they made was like a 60 dollar case. I personally think the company has came a long long ways from what they were then. I actually really like one of their cases (Rosewill Rise). Doesn't mean everything they make is good. But I've started to take them a little more seriously... With proper research of course.

Same here tech. Not a fan of Rosewill at all.

That Rosewill Capstone is a good unit if it's the same in the review. Super flower makes really good Psu's.

Have you guys actually used it and it failed on you?
I did not find a single negative review.
it gets 4 to 4.5 stars all the time.
its actually around $90 but now its $40 discounted.

PS. if i can cancel my order, then i'll cancel it.

Is this what you guys recommend for PSU under $50?

Don't cancel it the Rosewill Capstone is a good Psu, especially for $40.00.

i think they are saying that Rosewill Capstone do make some nice PSU but specifically the one i bought is a crap..

Actually, I was saying that Rosewill products in general are crap. Most of them are anyway, or were in past years.

The one you bought happens to be one of the few good one's I've seen. Now that I've actually read the review that is.

I kind of leapt without looking on that one. I assumed it was junk without looking up a reputable review (since most Rosewill products I've used have been junk), then realized later when I'd actually read the review that it was actually good.

Mandrake4565 · Nov 25, 2014

The one at newegg looks just like this one. I think the issue is that Rosewill has some Psu's that aren't all that good and some that are really good. The one you choose is made for Rosewill by a company called Super Flower, they make really good Psu's. You don't have anything to worry about with the Rosewill Capston 750w.

Only downside is that it is not module. but..it's cheap so i'm good Thanks!

There's alot of good deals out now.
