APEX AL-A400ATX 400W Power Supply

Comment:
The power supply does an outstanding job of powering components and sucking heat away from the CPU. Right after two months of use, the low-noise fan became a high-noise fan and hums quite loudly. Due to the fact I am out of the RMA time frame, I will be replacing this power provide with a distinct one particular. I will likely retain this a single as a backup in case of emergencies. Please note that the loudness of the fan is the only thing that I am unhappy with. Just before this, everything was working fine and I was really pleased with the power supply.

Comments: Every thing was great but it ran hot. My amd 2600 ran at 60 C. when becoming utilized alot. Voltage was excellent but it ran too hot for me in my Raidmax 868 situation with 4 situation fans. I do not have anything unique for cooling, just stock amd heatsink and fan.

Worked excellent -- correct up to the week it died. Died right after 2yrs 3mos. It powered-down as soon as last week, then this previous weekend, it just died absolutely. It was in a house-server that has been left on 24ǝ뤅 (Intel Celeron 2g릘 MB/CDǘ three.five" Seagate Baracudas/Intel PERLL mobo). Not a terrible unit, and it died gracefully (it didn't take anything else out with it).

My very first Apex AL-A400ATX was installed in June 2004.5 years rock-solid heavy use 7ቴ devoid of reboot or any difficulty- it must imply something about the power supply.I purchased a new one particular from newegg and received an upgrade version SL-8400BTX from my old one particular. There are lots of upgrade from 5 years ago- Dual 12V output, 20Ʋpins, SATA connectors….. I put it in my new Window 7 system. It runs just like that: very same whisper-quiet and stable-strong.I like its dual 80mm fans-1. It generates the excellent air flow-Push and pull the heat out from inside the casetwo. Due to the fact the two fans are so quiet, and you under no circumstances know if they are nonetheless operating- in case one particular fan fails, and there is still yet another one particular performing the cooling ahead of you ultimately uncover out- good insurance coverage for the process more than heat problem!Did I mention my old process with five years old AL-A400ATX?It is Athlon XP's, memory 2GB, ATI Radeons, two DVD and two HD's The fans are not dust proof (it is always painful when you require to clean the dust on the fans- but it maybe also why I got the old one nonetheless operating soon after five years service)The cables are not fairly, but it may possibly price one more บ-ฤ for those fancy stuffs and they may possibly even block the air flow Even though this unit with new model number – SL-8400BTX (fine print “Upgraded from AL-A400ATX”), it is till runs as quiet and smooth as what I anticipate from five years old one particular’s very good knowledgeI count on this a single will final till Window 10 released!For the price tag and the quality, you can not go wrong with this unit (sometimes newegg even offers cost-free shipping).You don't want to commit $$$ to get a trustworthy, stable power supply. This is undoubtedly a very good bargain

Effectively thinking about that it passed its a single year mark. I would undoubtedly contemplate getting an additional one particular as a backup. It did me great. It's a have to obtain. I would surely purchase one particular as a backup, never know what may come up. None I can think of at the moment Remember, shutting off your computer and then turning it back on strains your hardware. My GF did this a many occasions. I have repeatedly told her not to do that. she would not listen to me. her psu before this blew. She is now listening to me when i speak the truths about issues. You wont be sorry when you purchase this item. matter of fact, when putting in this item. be ready for a nice scent in the room. :)

I discover this power supply wonderful. It has survived alots of blackouts and storm surges. I have to admit that My fault not reading reviews. I guess my judgement is that folks need to have to sit down and realize that energy supplies rely on decent energy. Remember the surge protector wants to be up to par. Want to invest in a excellent a single. leave them cheapos alone. can't feel of 1. nicely I can say that all is well. I am going to order an additional one. I can say its soon. I got my income worth out of this item. I am recognized as "satisfied client" I am properly happy with this item.

Comments: I ordered this unit from Newegg a small more than a week ago. Not only did I receive it a day earlier than expected, the PSU functions excellent. It's particularly quiet to, which was an crucial factor for me when I was seeking for a new Power Supply. It's so quiet that I had to place my ear close to it to know it was on and the fans were spinning!As usual, Newegg has carried out well by me. This is a fantastic unit at a price range-friendly price tag.

It does what it's supposed to do. None Out of 7 supplies at my perform (They come with the Apex TU150 case) 6 are still working. The a single that died began buzzing from a voltage breakdown in a transformer. I just replaced it with the same model supply.

50 $ PSU and you are utilizing it for heavy gaming? Then you ought to be incredibly low-cost or not extremely sensible to do that.PSU is the MOST significant aspect of you gaming Computer, specifically if it is C2D with 2GB ram 500 Gb drive, 8800 GTX and so forth so don't attempt to invest much less than one hundred$ on that guys. If you are looking for low-cost PSU for office computer system then this is your option. None Does the job as the office Pc PSU.

Quiet, reputable, clean power output doesnt have hookups for a lot more modern motherboards This power supply has been powering my computer for practically four years now.

Had it for moer than 7 years powered on for at least 50% of that time and still runs solidly. Opened it up and wired the two fans in series to make them run at half-speed and dead silent... na It seems like a lot of people today tend to go overkill with thier power supplies. Even with highend cpus most systems will under no circumstances draw far more than 300 watts...

Comment:
additional connections than i knew what to do with. lasted effectively over two years. wouldn't advocate it for anyone looking into the future... a wonderful psu for contemporary computers although.

Comment:
This PSU has some good amps on the five and 12v rails and this is exactly where it counts and what tends to make this a good PSU.If the 5 and 12v rails are low on amps then your Pc will not be stable.This is a incredibly superior PSU for the cash and I have two of these so far. All still running fine right after 3yrs. none

Hooked it up, plugged it in, and away it ran. No troubles whatever. Fan is quite silent. The corner of the AC receptacle interfered with the cutout in the cabinet, making it important to do a fair bit of function with a metal file. It was also necessary to drill out the mounting holes in the situation to a next-larger size to get all the screws in. And: only sufficient SATA connectors for a very simple technique--which, luckily, was all I was constructing. Fits nicely in a microATX case.

Comment:
Have owned about 4 of these over last five years, great stability & durability. Contrary to the published specs & photographs, most up-to-date version of this PS drops the -5V line altogether! Suggested this unit to a buddy for use on an Asus CUBX (BX-based) motherboard. When technique booted, it halted and displayed error message. Soon after some examination of BIOS wellness status, located the -5V line reporting -12V. Examining the cable itself showed that the -5V line was omitted from the ATX modular connector. The label on the PS unit itself does not show a -5V output any longer.

Worked ideal out of the box. Replaced dead power supply in sisters personal computer and had no difficulty. None The energy provide is considerably heavier then you would expect which you can practically often trust to be a larger high quality power supply.

Comments: I feel like I stole this box. It's quiet & cool. No display interference.Think about this...Would AMD advocate it if it ran too hot? ...of course not. Would your CPU run hotter with the fan blowing straight on it? ...of course not. Thanks Newegg

Proprietary IC & exclusive styleEmbeded thermal sensorSeveral security protection -- OCP,OVP,SCP,UVP, OPP <----- These are important variables depending on the usage of pcs. I highly recommend this energy supply unit to everyone who desires a decent operation. people who whine about pcs not booting up due to immaturity. They need to go back to school to study how to drain excess energy then turn on computers. that is my most significant con. look at other thoughts Men and women who claim cheap energy supplies deliver promises of longivity. I bought this energy supply back in 2005. Its nevertheless purring like a kitten. I am keeping my fingers crossed to leap into the 4th year to celebrate the new pc life for my mother. she is wishing to go 64 bit. She wishes to use the similar psu in the future. Kudos to New Egg. :)

Very QUIET. Nicely, compared to the 20-pin 250w energy supply I replaced from 1999, LOL! I purchased this as a portion of a package for an upgrade for my mother's machine. Hasn't failed as of however and it was not received DOA (which is nice, isn't it?). I dunno if I would say it's strudy enough to power your corner street light post, but it does well with the AMD 62 X2 4200+ Brisbane. The cables weren't flimsy and the general unit seemed fairly solid. If you're on a budget and don't need to have to hook up anything huge to it, I'd suggest this unit. None.

Purchased this five years ago and have had no problems what so ever. At present its operating a x2 񪃠 939 with 1 Sata2 80gb HD, 1 30GB ATA133 HD, 1 60GB ATA100 HD, 1 GB DDR400 and a XFX 6600GT PCIe video card. All that with each other on a Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI Nforce4 motherboard. Runs great... although its time for an upgrade as im hunting into obtaining a DX10 graphics card. None. If you have an older gamer with some thing like a 939 socket or below Id advise this PS, anything over that and I'll have to say get something much more potent.

It goes all the way by way of. it even survived lightning storms with decent surge protector. Most individuals dont safeguard their pcs. Its on them, as well poor. but other than that. I highly suggest this unit.
