FSP Group ATX-500PNR 500W

Advantages: 6 + 8 for a video card, insanely quiet, so as not to write ... It gives out real power.

Disadvantages: They are not there, the price of the block is low, because nothing except the block is attached to it

Comment: Compared to FSP-PNR400W, it works twice as quietly, at first I thought that it did not start)))

Advantages: FSP is one of the best offices for power supply units, it still works after two upgrades from 1800 MHz to the current core i3. Not a single device was covered by power problems, it’s not much noise, so everything is super.

Disadvantages: -

Comment: Gamers and overclockers, you have different power requirements for power, like audiophiles have about wires))) for the average FSP user, what the doctor prescribed!

Advantages: Price, Quality, Silent work ...

Disadvantages: Not.

Comment: Bought in 2010, now updated the computer (Put:
Mother: Asus Sabertooth 990fx
Processor: FX-8150
Culler: DeepCool Neptwin
Video card: PowerColor HD 7950 (3gb, 384b)
HDD - (WD3200AAKS-00B3A0) Hard Drive
Ram: 8gb

It does not make noise at loads in BF3 and other games. Excellent power supply for your money.
For overlocking you need a good bp, I do not advise this.

Advantages: Not noisy.
Vibration is not felt.
Active PFC.
Not very high price.
Pretty long cables.
Connectors for every taste and color!)))

Disadvantages: Pressed grille.
ATX 12V 2.2, not 2.3.

Comment: It is a decent power supply for the price. No beeps, the fan is almost inaudible.
No problem pulling Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 3000 MHz + MSI N660 2GD5 / OC + 4GB RAM + HDD, DVD, etc.

Advantages: Price (Bought for 1500). Firm FSP. Quiet, generally prokticheski noiseless. APFC. And what I needed was an 8-pin PCI-E.

Disadvantages: No box. The wires are not braided (but for such a price, a braided BP cannot be found). Well, ATX12V 2.2, I would like 2.3.

Comment: He went to buy 550W FSP (price 1800), but in stores or was not, or bent the price. I was advised to buy 500W said that it was enough for the eyes. What I liked 550W he has 25 amps per line + 12V, 500W only 18 amps.
The PSU stands on the Radeon HD5830, AMD x3 425 system (unlocked 4th core and L3 cache. "Phenom B25"), 6GB RAM, HDD 500gb, creative x-fi platinum sound.
I wanted to test the system in stamps and dispersed the process with vidyuhi, the cover of the case was opened, the unit was surprisingly blowing out cold air, but as soon as I closed the cover it began to blow hot air. He drove the percent with vidyuhi at the nominal frequency, he still blew hot air. (of course it all happened under the load of games). So if anyone has a slightly more voracious system for my system, I do not advise taking this unit, it is better to overpay and take FSP 550W-600W. But for the money I am pleased with him!

Advantages: Relatively low price.
There is an APFC. Installed fairly high-quality capacitors TEAPO CapXon, on some OST.
Details on the printed circuit board are equipped with almost 100%, there are a couple of three free places for transistors / diode assemblies (for more powerful versions).

Disadvantages: Instead of a grill on the fan - metal stamping. The wires going to the motherboard (20 + 4) could be put thicker. The processor and video card are normal wires. All parts are designed for the minimum for a given power. For example, a capacitor at the input of 270µF 400V is the minimum that can be set for a power of 500-550W with an APFC (C == 0.5 * Pout).I will keep silent about the other details, since they are from normal manufacturers.

Comment: We purchased 500PNR and 550PNR power supplies for server organization. I disassembled both models to see how they differ ... Such a feeling that there is nothing at all. Maybe if only more capacious capacitors at the output of 550PNR, and then I'm not 100% sure, because I did not disassemble them in one day. I can say for sure that such bp should not be loaded at full capacity, it will not last long.

Advantages: Value for money is great. Well holds the declared power and voltage.
Silent.

Disadvantages: Under heavy load, the grille becomes slightly noisy.

Comment: The fan grill is removed - almost silent ...

Advantages: 550 watts silent relative to the video card can not be heard

Disadvantages: Not seen

Comment: Attention! If your motherboard has a 24 + 8pin power connector, then buy a power supply with such a connector. I've bought and not looked.

Advantages: An excellent model, with my config (radeon hd 5770, dc 5200), the load is barely warm, almost cold. Excellent keeps the load.

Disadvantages: grill so-so, I will cut and put a normal wire, because you can hear the rustle of air clearly, at the same time I will change the fan

Comment: on the + 12v line, the voltage is 12.36v, on the + 5v line, on the line is 4.87V, but this is the tolerance. By the way, with this power supply the squeal of chokes on the video card has stopped

Advantages: The declared power corresponds to the actual. Very quiet even at full load. Voltage keeps well, even with a small overload.

Disadvantages: The main loop is not wrapped in the mesh.
