Bottom Line:
Given the nice finish, the modular cables and the around $100 price tag, I'd say this power supply gets a good rating in the features column. Does the CableFree 550W pull off being a quality power supply from the masters of mod or does it turn out to be all show?

Conclusions
As you can see, the power factor is excellent,
as it should be with active PFC. The efficiency is horrible and
the 12V just went whack-o during test three. At least none of the
modular cables fell out!
Given the nice finish, the modular cables and the "around $100" price
tag, I'd say this power supply gets a good rating in the features column. The
cables aren't as nice as the X-Connect, but the fans are quieter and it
has active PFC, so the score averages out to a nice little 8.
Again, due to the failure, I have to grade performance on a curve. I'm
sure that not all Ryanpower2 power supplies make buzzing noises like houseflies
caught in screen-doors, but I was so taken-back by the solder job on the
interface card and those of the fan header that I can't help but think
that failure rates might be a little higher than other brands. I
can tell you that the efficiency was poor, but the rails were potentially
(if the 12V didn't wig out over 302W) stable. So I'm giving this
power supply a 6 for performance.
That makes this power supply's overall score
an 7.
