APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500W Power Supply

Comment:
Has 2 different voltage settings. 15v, or 30. I nevertheless have cables left over in my case for upgrades. The power cable wiggles quite in the socket. Gets the job done, but that cable bothers the heck out of me. Makes me believe it's broken. Perhaps mine is defective? Properly, it doesn't affect functionality either approaches!

If you have ever seen the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer drives the car on an empty gas tank just to see how far it can go then you will recognize this critique. very first of all this small energy provide is a total trooper for the price. Its fairly quiet, comes with a host of connectors and has a optimum rating of 500Watts. I began off operating it with a single 1TB tricky drive, Gigagbye UD2 MB, Core i7 processor, 4Gb of RAm and a 1GB PNY GT9600 video card. I never ever once had a difficulty with it in that setup. I added two added challenging drives and nevertheless no troubles. I added additional cooling and nonetheless it was the little engine that could...I final ran the tank dry when I decided to upgrade my video card to a HIS ATI HD 4870. The card needed two-6pin PCI-E connectors and still the "little energy provide that could" kept on keepin' on. Sadly I was in the middle of a game of Medal of Honor Airbourne, maintaining the absolutely free planet protected from the "Third Reich", when my energy supply gave up the None...it a lot more than exceeded my expectations. If you need a low expense, pretty quiet, power provide and have no intentions of pushing it as well far then I really advocate it. I also advocate making use of the energy provide calculator here on New Egg. My three tricky drive, Core i7, Gigabyte, ATI 4870 needed a minimum of 563 Watts so its simple to see why this small guy bit the dust.

Quiet and Low-cost. I replace my 300W PS with this one particular following replace Video Card (MSI GTS250). VC calls for 450W min and I did not have PCI-e connector on my old PS. Also did not know new VC comes with converter. Can not beat the ฤ rebate. Uncomplicated set up and no difficulties so far. Looks affordable but it was affordable. I am glad I did not get the ๳ 1. This operates great but I may well require new PS when I go with SATA raid ten for speed.

Wow! A year and a lot more later and it's nonetheless going robust! I must say the hardware is strong. Get this, it's been a blessing to my very first make. Properly, it's 500W, so it won't serve a top rated of the line technique with hungry graphics cards, but you can nevertheless build an ace Computer with it. My situation has vented it properly, so I've never had heat problems. Think about that just in case.

Been running fantastically due to the fact mid-2007, no concerns with compatibility or any such points. Lots of energy to go around. Only two SATA energy connectors, which is truly beginning to annoy me this lengthy into working with it. I'll have to get a new one particular here soon, but rest assured that this one particular is good for PCs that use a ton of older power connectors.

Alot quieter than I expected. Has two fans, Excellent price tag with rebate & free shipping, looked superior created than the pictures on Neweggs web web page. Cable lenghts fit fine in ATX tower. No item is generally fantastic. I'm not a gamer so this PS is fine for my demands & budget, would purchase once again, hope it lasts.

-it powered a quad core with a hd 4870 fine for 6 months. -loud. no joke.-exploded in the middle of a game. i have my laptop or computer case opened at all instances so it was kinda neat to watch the sparks fly out and practically destroy my motherboard. i believe it's my fault that i was not buying a a lot more effective psu to start with but i don't like it when they explode.

It looked good and appeared undamaged. It didn't perform out of the box. It turns out not all the pins had been acquiring energy. We swapped it out with a different power provide to verify. Yes, this one was undesirable. New Egg was fast to present a refund when I got about to sending it back. I had to spend the shipping, but that is the risk you take with on-line buying.

Been carrying out it's job virtually 24ǝ for about a year. No quick food shipped with the order

Cheap LoudNow have to hold the energy button down for a couple of seconds to get the Pc to power up. I bought this as a backup PS, sooner or later I essentially needed it. Its constantly fantastic to have a backup PS, I've burned via quite a few over the years and its frustrating when thats the dilemma. Its lasted now for 3+ years.

Got it inexpensive. Died after about 14 months. Got it affordable and it was low-cost. If you want low-cost, this is the way to go. If you want anything to last, look elsewhere.

I was capable to set up this power provide with ease. I had to upgrade my psu as I upgraded my video card and required a thing far better. I had a 300watt unit that came from gateway. none as of this time.

Had this for close to two years now and the only challenge I've had was a fan quit on me (no massive deal) For the ุ I spent I really feel I got my moneys worth None, operates perfectly fine to this day

Worked great, quiet, low-cost soon after rebate. Crapped out immediately after six months use. Don't even want to RMA due to the fact I don't want one more piece of junk powering my computer system. Thought i got a great deal, but now I'm out what I payed for it. Decided to pull the two 80mm fans just before I threw it out.But surely invest a tiny additional and get one thing that's better good quality and lasts.

This provide has worked for me considering that 7-two-2007! Doesn't have the eight plug motherboard pin.. I nevertheless use it with just the 4 plug pin into my eight plug Mother Board, but I only have a 85watt CPU.

Quiet. Owned it for three months and no troubles. ร.99 following rebate is challenging to beat. None

Comment:
Has a decent quantity of connectors Died in two weeks. Not worth RMA expense to replace. I bought it to upgrade a 430w psu and it died truly swift. I will give it a tiny credit i was trying to run 1 9800gtx+ and a 95w 7750be. still it ought to not have died with that load at 500 watts. It gave me a superior reason to convince my wife to let me get a top end psu right after it died.

Value is good for a budget/basic technique.Has lots of 4 pin power connections.24pin cables are sleeved and extremely extended, so it will reach fine if you have a bottom mounted PSU. It died immediately after 1 week. expense me ten to ship it back for the RMA.This is the second apevia PSU to die on me. I purchased on for my initially create three years ago and it died on me a week as well. My MOBO has not been acting suitable considering that I got the new PSU. I suspect that when the PSU died it did anything to the motherboard. I would not get this yet again, and I will not acquire Apevia products in the future - for myself or making for other individuals.I gave them two chances. Invest the additional 10 on a much better high quality business instead, due to the fact you might have to commit that to RMA it. As generally Neweggs RMA was painless and swift.
