He died a year and three months later, right before the new year! I don't recommend it! Noisy cooler, replaced with Noctua! The cause of death was a voltage drop in the network. I've endured this crap twice before, but it was apparently stronger. Beautiful, great packaging, partially detachable cables Noisy cooler, forced to replace it with a Noctua, burned out after just a year and three months due to a voltage drop in the network, it holds them weakly! use Gamemax GM-500G more than year |
An excellent unit for the money, everything is done with high quality, the wires are modular and the length is normal, a quiet 140mm cooler. Did not find use Gamemax GM-500G month or more i recommend it should buy |
Bad PSU. Not recommended. Inside, although I'm not a techie, it seems to be of good quality, BUT it has a noisy fan (30 dB estimate - it's like a helicopter), which is why I immediately opened it up, replaced the fan with a Noctua and connected the power to the motherboard. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. A year later, it died due to a voltage surge (there were only 3 in a year), a fuse blew, and a MOSFET burned out. My brother fixed it for me after about 2 weeks, but I had already bought an Enermax as a replacement (also bad regarding fans, as it has 2 small ones - I was misled by YouTube concerning the noise). worked for a year, the certificate would be Gold, but I’m not sure about this, because... I was forced to immediately replace the cooler because of the noise. Noisy cooler, poor power supply protection against voltage surges - a primitive fuse did not help - the mosfets burned out. use Gamemax GM-500G more than year |
Gold for the people
The GM-500 from Gamemax is one of the most affordable PSUs with 80+ Gold certification. According to the passport, it boasts a serious efficiency of 90%, in real tests in the range of loads typical for this power supply (100 – 300 W), the energy efficiency slightly sags and stays in the range of 87 – 85%. Given the price of $ 60, you can close your eyes to a slightly overestimated efficiency. Moreover, for this money, its only competitor is the strong, but not flawless Chieftec Core.
High quality
All this makes you scratch your head thoughtfully, because offhand it's hard to say what exactly they saved on here .. There are no complaints about the build quality either. The body panels, although not the thickest, are not made of "foil" either. Yes, and he looks great. Although, this is a matter of secondary importance. Despite the use of fairly simple circuitry, the model is equipped with all the necessary nodes: an EMI filter, an APFC module and support for a number of protections are in place. Explicit savings are only observed in the use of Taiwanese and Chinese capacitors, the quality of which raises big questions.
Semi-modular structure
In addition, the GM-500G has a good system for filtering output ripples, a well-thought-out semi-modular structure (detachable wires are made in the form of flexible cables), as well as a sufficient number of connectors for connecting peripherals (5 SATA, 3 Molex), which with equal success allows you to use it and in mid-range gaming PCs, and in regular office computers. Although, in the latter case, it would be wiser to save a little and take a simplified and less powerful version without a Gold Plus certificate.
