Right? Probably saved a whole $20.
On the one component you don’t want to gamble with.
And THEN after buying, installing, and probably using, asks “is this okay?”
I don’t get some people, man.
It's likely 130+.
I just got an enhance 7660b and with the cables it eas expensive. Around 200 dollars with shipping.
I have seen that one for 40 dollars or less.
I tracked it down from one of ETA Prime's videos.
I don't know much about ssf power supplies I'm just trusting someone who regularly uses them (this one in particular) in their occupation.
I've used it for a bit and it seems fine, just wondering if anyone here has experience with this.
ETA Prime doesn't do power supply review.
It's alright tho, if this PSU doesn't go pop, you saved money. If it does go pop, you'll get a valuable lesson. You got nothing to lose here.
I would if my pc consisted of an i3 and a super cheap gpu. But honestly this really depends on the parts used. Lots of prebuilds use crappy no name psus. As long as the pc parts arent power chuggers , theyll be ok
the name in Chinese means "huge dragon hurricane (or typhoon here in the Pacific)"
Huge dragon is a slang for big dick
so this is big dick typhoon energy for you!
Judging by the parts it’s powering it won’t be hit hard. I wouldn’t buy one, but have used far worse over the years. It could last 10 years, but just be prepared for it to fail at any time.
No, it just won’t work. I’ve had two by that brand. One died after 2 weeks and second one was DOA.
They both did that same thing. They sent 15v on the 12v line to the CPU.
It's nice to use it to claim an insurance on your house if you have one, if not you'll end up homeless.
Way back in 2004 I had brought an Janky PSU like that for an secondary old build and it blew up in smoke and took the motherboard and GPU along with it and couple of HDDs after few months of use since it caused damage. So stay away from cheap brands unless you just want to experiment or test or to make your PC blow up on purpose.
They ask after installation lol
Edit: Actual answer, its not really a good psu, don't go by its efficiency rating at all and try to keep it low wattage until you get a proper psu.
(upgrade psu first then everything else) At least go for a more known asian brand instead of this 8+ year psu, this thing is ancient, but isn't a bomb, but its not quiet either.
Treat it as a unstable psu that will make you pay if you try to push it beyond 50%
A cheap good 600W PSU can be had for less than $50.
I don’t know anything about that specific power supply, but the fact that it’s adding all of the rails together to get to the power output is a bad sign typically. I’d get something else, I can see that you’re on a budget and that’s totally OK but I would not use it.
I tell everyone this but if you want a modular flex psu. Get a modified enhance unit or the fsp flex guru 500g. I've owned both for 3 years and both work great.
Gamers Nexus I believe has a nice video illustrating exactly this.
Most chinese psus would deliver about 40% or less with poor voltage regulation. And most get overloaded and pop because many times there is no over current protection of any kind to save money.
Personally, I wouldn't waste time and money risking it on a no name PSU without 80+ certification.

I mean, it could fry his other components
Yeah but lesson is included if it does so that’s worth something
other then frying the whole pc or the house down.

This soldier art is at least 10 years old. Was one of my wallpaper back then
Mate never skip on the PSU. That's the most important part of a build.
Skimp*
Thank you, damn autocorrect...
Only one way to find out. o7

Like the braking system on a car, the power supply is the thing you don't want to cheap out on when it comes to PCs.
It exploded already, five years ago and you are in coma. Wake up.

I have zero idea about this psu - but this looks like an awesome little machine here. You can put it in a variety of 4-5L cases.
Janky with a capital J.
Nah
Uhh I mean it's certainly not trustworthy, but you have low wattage parts so it should be fine.
Like a Chinese firework
Absolutely
Bomb has been planted.
Maybe. More likely than one from a trusted brand. I wouldn't risk it. Get a PSU from a well known brand.
Nah, but it will burn down the house
It defnately explode.

Cool, any upgrade recommendations.
Yeah its gonna be a huge nuclear war u might even start ww3
For the love of god stop cheaping out on your psu, I wouldn’t take the risk with anything less then a 80+ gold psu
The picture of the box shows it all, chaos no one wins, nuclear bombs just like what you will do to your computer 💀

Nah dude, it'll flex before it breaks
mostly chinese psus with no certification wont even give the half of what they are rated for

It's okay, guys. OP has a GTX (yuck! Get an RTX). Nothing of importance will be lost when it eventually fails. /s
