Most gamers and PC users who have come across products from the Chinese brand Gamemax will most likely remember them as a manufacturer of simple, inexpensive and fairly high-quality entry-level power supplies. However, this is not a completely accurate representation, since along with inexpensive models from the VP and GP families, the company’s product range includes really serious power supplies for experienced gamers and overclocking enthusiasts. We are talking about the RGB Smart line, aimed at powerful gaming or work assemblies, when thousands of dollars have been spent on components, and the idea of saving on matches and taking a cheap power supply seems downright harmful.


For a long time, the series featured one single Gamemax RGB power supply with a “golden” quality certificate, high efficiency and a serious power reserve (approx: from 850 to 1050 W). It contains heat-resistant capacitors, DC-DC converters, resonant LLC converters and active PFC, and the main 12-volt line is capable of delivering almost 100% of the power. It also features detachable modular cables, additional connectors for powering the processor and video card, and the built-in backlight can display 25 different effects and supports popular RGB platforms from MSI, Asus and Gigabyte.

Following the introduction of GeForce RTX 4000 graphics cards and the introduction of the ATX12V 3.0 specification in the summer of 2023, Gamemax released an update to the original model called RGB Smart PCIE5. This is a pumped-up modification with an 80+ Platinum quality certificate, addressable backlighting, modular cables, Japanese capacitors, improved efficiency (92%) and updated power specifications for new video cards with PCI-E 5.0 with a 16-pin 12VHPWR cable. If the original RGB Smart had a power ceiling of 1050 W, its successor RGB Smart PCIE5 is capable of providing the computer with up to 1300 W of energy. This is more than enough even to overclock top components like Ryzen 9 and GeForce RTX 4090.
