Pros:

Custom Lights, Rock Solid, Nice Design, Leads are Nice and Long.
Modular cabling is well done, Plenty of power for 90% of the market, Lighting with several nice options, Well executed accesories such as the bag for cables and the tiebacks, 5 Year Warranty.
Build Quality, Design, Almost 100% Modular, Rock Solid Rails, Almost Silent, 5 Color Led User Adjustable Lighting, 5 Years Warranty

Cons:

No White Light Option, Might be to Pricey for Some (I still recommend it at this price though)
Too much distance between both SATA and Molex plugs, Some small amounts of hot melt Glue visible on heatshrink tubes, Not 80+ certified, Cabling is very heavy gauge (which is good) but hard to hide.

Short cables and a noisy fan let down this otherwise good power supply....

Matters became worse at 100 per cent load, where the fan was downright noisy. The Evo Blue isn’t a bad PSU – it passed all our tests after all, which six other PSUs failed to do. However, the short cables and noisy fan mean that while it’s stable, it...

Thermaltake has built a strong following with their Toughpower series and has carried that success over to their other lines. The Evo Blue is designed to add some flair to an otherwise boring computer component and having been designed by...

If you are in the market for a good power supply I strongly suggest checking out the Thermaltake Evo Blue Series 650W or if you need a little more oomph check out the 750W version. I liked what I saw during testing and I will keep running my...

After reviewing a 1200W PSU, I didn't expect much from this 650W unit from Thermaltake. I was about as wrong as I could get. The Thermaltake EVO_BLUE 650W brings a host of style to the table and does it without sacrificing performance or quality. ...

Thermaltake once more managed to create a winner in the form of the Evo Blue series of power supplies but i doubt it comes as a surprise to most people since they have been doing that for quite a long time now. But what new does the Evo...

Despite its eye catching aesthetics, the EVO_Blue 550 watt is the most affordable modular power supply that Thermaltake now offers, at just $100 US. In fact, the 650 watt is now their second cheapest modular power supply, while the EVO_Blue 750 watt...

The Thermaltake Evo Blue is an excellent psu. The fan is silent, I couldn’t hear it over the rest of the system anyway and my pc is fairly quiet. It looks good, in my opinion anyway, with its slightly different styling. The multi coloured...
