  This review is about the power: 500 W

  It burned within a few days.. I didn't bother, I bought a better brand.
  It didn't even last a week, essentially.
  Also, it only has one cable for the graphics card X8, so if your card needs additional power, it's useless

  This review is about the power: 500 W

  I really wonder if the users who describe it as "perfect" and "very good" have even basic knowledge of electronics, so that they can somewhat support their claims.
  Opening it up and doing a teardown/mini-review, I discovered unreliable low-quality capacitors, outdated design from 2010 and earlier, and very cheap MOSFETs and diodes, also of low quality.

  Unlike all the other reviews I have done, I did not take voltage and ripple measurements with an oscilloscope, for one reason only. It belongs to the category of power supplies that I consider dangerous for use, and there was no chance I would risk a 1000 euro system just to load it, only to produce a complete review.
  Based on what I saw in terms of materials and construction, however, I assume I would see things that I wouldn't like or that would be completely outside the ATX Specification.

  For me, do not get this power supply if you can avoid it. Or if you are going to get it, do not put it in anything more than a desktop system. The above statements are not based on the fact that "I plugged it in and it worked," which is the criteria for most people, but on what I saw and my knowledge as an electronic engineer.

  This review is about the power: 700 W

  Very good, it's worth the money so far (I've only had it for 2 months). The only negative is that it doesn't have an on/off button.

  It's simply perfect and at a very good price. The only negative thing I could find is that the packaging it comes in is not nice, but who cares

  I have had such a thing for 3 years now. It has not caused any issues, even with a GPU upgrade. It is also completely silent.

  It is a very good power supply, quite economical for 500 watts, silent, and above all, it provides stable performance for any task you do. I highly recommend it without hesitation!! The best option for the price of 40 euros!!

  This review is about the power: 500 W

  For the price, around 40+ Euros final - it's great, it has all the basic connections of a basic gaming system -
  1 24-pin cable for standard connection to the motherboard
  1 4+4-pin cable for the processor (not all have +4 pins, which means it supplies sufficient power to basic mainstream processors)
  1 6+2-pin cable for the graphics card (many cheap ones don't even have this, or they have a simple 6-pin) - good
  4 SATA & 2 Molex... normal stuff

  It theoretically has an 80+ efficiency certification, which means it provides 100% power, giving you about 400W relatively stable! I don't think anyone who buys this wants to exceed this limit with additional power-consuming components - that's a different budget!

  What no one will like is the budget choice of non-sleeved colorful cables that resemble 2000, but if you don't have a window in your case, you don't care. If you do (like me), you can cover it by wrapping it with some insulating tape and you'll have additional protection/durability for the cables.

  Quiet so far, despite giving the impression of cheap construction, it doesn't seem to behave that way, from what I've tested (and believe me, I've tested many cheap no-name ones)! I have a Ryzen 5 / RX 580 / 3 SATAs / Led Strip & RGB Cooler on it and it seems to handle it well without any issues!

  We'll see... from what I've tried, it seems like a good choice for this price range and for use in a second/third machine! If you can afford to spend an extra +10 Euros, I imagine you have better brand name options!

  Don't even bother with it.
  I fixed the PC, turned it on, and it burned out.
