something exploded inside and died worked for a long time more than 4 years except that he died and stank the whole room |
i advise you to take it, the model is good for your money works stably, looks beautiful when under load you can hear it in another room  Dmitriy: use Zalman TX-ZM600 few months |
When assembling the PC, we first installed the GAMEMAX GP-550, 550W. However, in heavy games like The Witcher 3, it started to rattle. Then we replaced it with the Zalman ZM600-TX. It also rattled a little under high loads (albeit much quieter) and then stopped. And now it has been working for six months. These units are installed in two gaming PCs. Mine and my spouse's. We are satisfied. Hasn't let me down yet Not found. |
Strong middle peasant
Zalman ZM500-TX is the most complete power supply in the sub-$50 price range. It attracts attention with its appearance alone. Its fan not only has a diameter larger than that of "classmates" (14 cm), it also glows blue. If you install the PSU from above, it will illuminate the motherboard and CPU cooler. If from below, then it will shine into the floor a la a tuned sports car from Need for Speed.
power reserve
The +12V main line power of the ZM500-TX is 480W out of a total of 500W, which is an excellent figure. At the same time, the PSU is able to withstand short-term overloads up to 600 watts. Efficiency of 80 percent, for which ZM500-TX deservedly awarded the 80 PLUS certificate. The processor power cable has a record length of 63 cm, while all cables, except for 20 + 4-pin, are made in the form of a thin "noodle". Both contribute to a neat hidden laying of wires.
Apple with wormhole
Unfortunately, the perfect Zalman ZM500-TX at a cost of only $50 cannot be. As its electronic basis, a turnkey solution from a little-known company Hui Cheng is used, the durability of which is still a mystery. In general, the circuitry seems to be not bad, but in some places there are obvious savings. For example, there is no varistor at the power input, which should protect against power surges in the household power supply. But despite this, the ZM500-TX remains a solid PSU and we can recommend it for building a gaming PC even with the most voracious graphics card, such as the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.
