Cooler Master has good products. The rebates stuff is getting old though. Just mark it down at the store and make Cooler Master send the money to them.

At $18- $30 one should not complain but no mention on the cultist list
Does any SD'er has experience on reliability with these for home pc's? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Looking to upgrade EVGA non-modular 500W to 750W variant of this. Config: 3700x, current gpu 1060 3gb potentially can upgrade to rx 6600/6700 variant.

Can I purchase and receive a rebate for a number of the items listed on the rebate form or only one of the items? So is the rebate good for only one item or can I send in multiple rebates connected to multiple items?

The last rebate I did I had to send in the UPC, the actual reciept not a copy, the fill out the paper form, then take photoes of all of this and create abank of america rebate account to agree to recieve a bank of america rebate visa card then I can't think of what else but at some point during all of this I said never ever again!

$30 for a name brand, semi-modular 650W PSU is definitely a good deal, but a $40 rebate is not at all equivalent to $40 off. You're still paying full price for the power supply.

If it were actually $30 I'd probably buy a 650 and a 750 just to have on hand for future PC builds.

Also:

Cooler Master MWE Bronze 500 80+ Bronze 500W PSU [amazon.com]

$18.99 after rebate.

Cooler Master MWE Bronze 600 80+ Bronze 600W PSU [amazon.com]

$30.99 after rebate.

Would highly recommend going with the OP posted semi-modular PSUs or any other semi/fully modular power supply. Non-modular power supplies aren't any cheaper than modular these days, and having a modular power supply makes building, cleaning, and maintaining PCs dramatically easier.

Marketing at its finest... "Semi-Fanless"? But the fan is always there... Shouldn't it be "Semi-Noiseless"?

That's just how power supplies with fan stop are labeled. Semi-fanless isn't perfect but it's more understandable than the alternative.

I don't see the rebate for the 750w power supply.

yeah, i hate getting money back on purchases too...
I HEAR YA BRO!

Exactly... they should just reduce the price of the product.

I wonder if they've ever heard of a thing called 'a sale'...

it's always been the case that you can get better prices from rebates, compared to sales... the company is banking on people being forgetful/lazy/stupid and not claiming their rebates. i'm all for being able to save more money, because i can follow simple instructions.

I can follow simple instructions too.... but it takes time, often costs at least postage stamp, and then you have to wait on the rebate and hope they don't deny it for some reason or anything gets lost in the mail, or that you totally forget about it.... then they might send you a prepaid card or something, and to use that you may have to go through addition hoops and spend more time... all to save an extra $10 or $20 over a sale? Oh... and if you pay sales tax, you don't get that back either.

UPDATE: Also, you usually can't return the item if you remove the UPC for the rebate.
