Pros & Cons
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.
Comes with a dedicated 12vpwr cable and all of the other pcie and pcie hard drive power cables. The cables are stiff, so molding them to a shape for placement is easy.
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.
There is a flat spot on both of these cables where the two outermost pins on the top row are joined together, like some kind of keyed connector. It only comes with 2 power cables when it needs 3 despite there being enough power connections on the powe... Read More

The video screen would go blank and the gpu fans would go to full speed
Price
All in all it’s a great price for what you get
Regardless of price however this is the one i like the best
I had to purchase extenders which added an additional 20 to the cost of the supply
Try to get this on sale like i did
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
