Xion power supply, good or bad?

[wtfitsfeisty]

I recently purchased this 1000w PSU to power my 7950, hopefully a second one later on. I haven't heard much from this brand, is it trustworthy or should I look into getting a new one? I haven't had any problems whatsoever and it runs very well (from what i can tell.)

also, could this PSU supply power a second 7950?

My pc:

i5-3570 (stock fan)
asrock b75m-dgs (soon to be sabertooth z77)
corsair vengeance 16gb (soon to 32 gb ,same brand)
sapphire 7950
ocz vertex 4 128gb
1tb HHD (too lazy to find the name)
xion 100w PSU


as well as 4x 140mm fans 2x 120mm fans and a HUE controller.

thank you in advance

Personally, I wouldn't recommend the PSU. Take a look at this feedback at Newegg:

There seem to be some quality issues with the brand. I would recommend a Seasonic or Corsair any day over a Xion.

Thanks for showing me that I will look into getting a new PSU as soon as I have the money.

honestly, and I say this as I'm knocking on wood, its been running great! buttt looking at those reviews I'm seriously crossing my fingering in hope I got the best of the batch until I can get a new one

It may be fine for a while. I would not CF with it, regardless of its rating. I don't get a warm and fuzzy impression regarding how reliable it really is.

CF? sorry I'm still getting learning the ropes and I wont, I'm just glad it hasn't gone out on me.. yet...

CF = CrossFire. Sorry.

Using more than one GPU (video card) puts a heavy load on a PSU (power supply) and I wouldn't trust the Xion to live up to its rating under that kind of load, especially when gaming and pushing the power needs even higher.

Oh, and just throwing out there, if you do side-grade the power supply, as long as you get a reliable brand, you won't need more than a 850w PSU, even if you have two 7950s.
