Pros
- Good ripple suppression
- Reasonable efficiency below 350W load
Cons
- Can’t deliver labelled rating (-2)
- Questionable quality capacitors (-2)
- Mediocre soldering quality (-1)
- Overpriced (-1)
- Mediocre 12V voltage regulation (-1)
Final comments: This power supply may look good, but it’s really an attempt to polish a pile of dung. It’s over-rated, the 12V voltage regulation is mediocre at best, it’s overpriced, and the build quality isn’t great. Products like the In Win IP-P600CQ3-2 and OCZ ZS series 650W are far superior products in all respects, and only cost an extra $10.
Score: 3/10
