Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It runs quiet and so far has been dependable and easily forgotten. It is quieter than my old one and powers my pc through anything i throw at it without getting too hot. Great aura color perfectly synchronized.

W psu has a modular socket to plug in the 600w 12vhpwr cable that the nvidia rtx 40 series use. Bought this to replace a 7yo psu of the same wattage.

Cons

Emailed gamemax, waiting on reply. They have no support option on their website. Now i'm left with the task of finding a warranty replacement for this or ordering a second one.

Cpu ripple is barely within atx 120mv limit. Ripple increases vrm heat, shortening the life of all your components, including the psu itself. Only 500 watts and more than 10 years old.

I had to purchase extenders which added an additional 20 to the cost of the supply

Shipping


Update amazon sent me a new one i just took the 12vhpwr cable from the new one and it works now

Packaging/appearance


My 12vhpwr cable was slightly scuffed up out of the package which is another reason i put it in a mesh cable sleeve

Competitiveness


The rbg syncd to aura easily and i was able to customize it to match the rest of the system
