Outdated Product
An inexpensive power supply with a classic stationary (not modular) cable subsystem and an average power reserve of 500 W, which is enough to power most entry-level and mid-level gaming, office and home PCs. It is one of the most affordable models of the 80+ Gold class, which means that at full load its efficiency does not fall below 89%, while at low load the efficiency of the device can reach 92%. Gamemax GM Series GM-500 is based on a time-tested hardware platform with traditional circuit design that guarantees stability and long service life. One of the key features of the GM-500 is its ability to deliver up to 80% of the power via the +12V line, which allows you to efficiently power even the most demanding computer components, including modern video cards with a power consumption limi...t of more than 200 W. To ensure optimal cooling and minimal noise levels, the Gamemax GM Series GM-500 is equipped with a 120 mm diameter controlled low-noise fan. The fan has a 9-blade impeller with an optimized crescent shape, which ensures efficient cooling of power supply components, even under high loads. In addition to standard ATX 24-pin (20+4) and EPS/ATX12V 8-pin (4+4) cables, it is equipped with a PCIe 8-pin (6+2) cable, two 2xSATA+MOLEX cables and one SATA+ MOLEX. In addition, the GM-500 has advanced protection systems, including overload, short circuit and overvoltage protection. This provides an additional level of security for your system and maintains long power supply life.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Gamemax GM Series power supplies offer a range of models with varying wattages, making them suitable for different needs. Users appreciate the affordable price and initial performance, especially for budget builds. However, several reviews highlight concerns about fan noise and durability, with some units experiencing issues like fan whistling or burning out over time. The design and packaging are generally well-received, but there are complaints about short and poorly placed cables. While the PSU might be adequate for basic or office setups, potential buyers should be cautious about its long-term reliability and consider alternatives if noise and component quality are critical factors.

I do not recommend buying this living block!
22 February 2018 
Bought a new one, worked for 1 month, and then the fan started whistling at ultrasonic levels so loudly that it was impossible to be in the room with it! Tried to lubricate the cooler myself, but it's completely sealed with plastic on both sides, and the fan itself seems non-removable, it’s encased with a metal cap instead of a retaining ring.
Garniy design of the living block and packaging + sockets for connecting cables.
Not a random cooler!

You get what you pay for, or even worse. I installed it in a budget PC. Worked fine for about half a year. Then the fan started making noise from time to time. After about 1.5 years it burned out. Probably quite low-quality components.
- Initially works fine
- Burned out

Such a problem is not only in me.
Price, not noisy in the robot
Having worked without straining for 4 months on an old PC, the block is dead.
