“About one year ago we reviewed a few power supplies from Chieftec but the newer A135 series (its models have names like APS-xxxS and APS-xxxC) had not made it into our labs back then. We’ll cover it now. Besides, we will discuss the Chieftec CFT-600-14CS model which has an extra letter in its name compared to the previously tested products. So, we will also explain you the difference between the CFT-xxx-14CS and the CFT-xxx-14C power supplies.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

Which shall be Chief among the Chieftec PSUs
Chieftec is probably not the first name to come to mind when you think about power supplies but they have been in the business for a while and offer several different series of PSUs along with different wattages. X-bit Labs has grabbed three representatives, from the A135 Series comes the APS-550S and the APS-750C
and from the Super Series comes the CFT-600-14CS. They test the power supplies for stability, usability and compare the results they saw with the claimed performance from the manufacturer.
