Cons: The word 'value' in the name makes it sound crappy. Would be nice if it had a second floppy plug.
Pros: Quiet, compact, quiet, inexpensive, quiet. Cross compatability with a ATX 20+4-pin Comment:
Replaced a dead Antec PSU into my noiseless PC. Nice cables with good length. Completely quiet. Small size welcome in mid size box. Only 430 watts enough for AMD-64, 2 HD, 2 DVD, pci-e video.http://www.silentpcreview.com/Nexus_Value_430 |

Cons: Trips AFCI circuit breakers.
Pros: Supposedly this is a very efficient, very quiet power supply. Comment:
If you want to use this power supply on a circuit governed by an AFCI breaker (i.e. if your home/apartment was wired after 2002 and your computer is in a bedroom), then you may have a problem with this PSU. There is something in the circuitry of this PSU that tricks AFCI breakers into thinking there has been an arc fault in the circuit. The result is that while the PSU works perfectly, and will work on normal circuits, it will trip your breaker as soon as you power up your system. Save yourself the %15 re-stocking fee... |
This is a marvel of engineering. It's eerie how quiet this thing is - it's a real game-changer for the PSU industry. I've put in this PSU into my Dell XPS410, along with changing the other fans to Nexus PWM products. Now my desktop PC is as quiet as a Mac Mini. I recommend this to anyone who has ears.
