| OCIA Approved | OCIA.net | "The NZXT Precise 650 is not my first experience with what I would consider a high-end power supply, and I have not come away from that experience disappointed. Everything looks simply awesome, from the finish on the power supply to the attractive nameplate on the grill, even down to minor details such as the shielded braid on the SATA cabling and LED cooling fan. My only regret is that most of these visual enhancements will go overlooked once installed in a case. Even with a side window, once you've stepped back a few feet it looks much like any other power supply.As for features, the Precise is definitely not lacking in this area. Tops on my list are the active PFC, dual or combined +12v rails and split style connectors. Although I did not observe the power supply using the "Combined" mode on the +12v rails, and there was no explanation in the manual or on the box as to when a user might expect it to operate that way. The thing's got plenty of amps to go around, and the testing seems to confirm this. There was very little fluctuation observed, although putting it under such a (relatively) light load might be considered insulting to this power house." | 2006-10-06 |
| Phoronix Approved | Phoronix | "Since NZXT's inception in 2004, we have been relatively satisfied with their various computer cases. When it comes to NZXT's first stab at creating a reliable power supply for gamers, they have also succeeded. The NZXT Precise 650W looks quite attractive on the outside with its reflective surface, and it provides plenty of power connections for gaming components. Its performance was also on par with the voltages being very close to their ideal values, and overall we had not run into any problems during operation." | 2006-08-09 |
| Kickass Award | 3D Gameman | "While the NZXT Precise Power Supply doesn't have modular leads, it has efficient power, is Active PFC, looks great, and has a quiet 120mm fan. It comes with the standard leads, but also has dual PCI-E lends for an NVIDIA SLI or ATI Crossfire setup. It even has 6 fan connectors on three additional leads. Overall, it's a very stable power supply that will satisfy most computer users. Watch the Video to find out more..." | 2006-07-22 |
| PCApex recommended | PCApex.com | "With all of the big name players in the industry vying for the consumer's dollar (especially in the SLi arena), NZXT is up against some stiff competition and appears to be holding it's own for an unknown name in PSU manufacturing. They delivered the goods in a very nice looking package and held stable voltages as well as the Enermax server level PSU. I am awarding this product the PCApex Recommended Award." | 2006-06-18 |
| Overclockersclub | "Once I fired this baby up and got down in the dirt, then it really started to shine, showing little or no power fluctuations at all when switching between idle and load was a very good bonus! Prior to receiving this power source I have been using an Enermax 600Watt noisetaker power source. This NZXT runs much cooler, if a smidge louder than my Enermax did, but for the temperature difference i'm willing to put up with a slight amount of sound. For a company that is just starting to delve into the power source line, this is definitely a contender in the high end market, so if your looking for something with a lot of kick, then this is the power source for you!" | 2006-06-14 |
