Coolmax 500W and 400W ATX Power Supply Bundle

Nice, lightweight ATX power supply, on the cheap.Worked perfectly with an Asus P8P67 PCIe motherboard. I think the "not compatible with PCI-E" disclaimer has to do with the lack of an extra power cable for high-end PCIe video boards?Highly recommended for a budget build.

Used this "Coolmax I-500 500W ATX 12V V2.0 Power Supply (not compatible with PCI-E)" PSU to get an old Athlon II based PC quicly back up and running. Original PSU is SFX form factor and is one of those briefly manufacured around 2005 or so and having a very high current rating on the 3.3V and 5V rails. The now-failed original had ratings of 3.3V @ 22A and 5V @ 30A. A modern replacement SFX form factor PSU of suitable ratings seems to be unavailable - even the premium high power 800W or 1000W SFX PSU's don't supply anywhere near this much current on the 3.3V and 5V rails.This Coolmax PSU is ATX form factor (big) and should not and does not fit the subject PC's SFX form factor (small) case. It was therefore strapped to the side of the PC's case, and the case's cover left off. The Coolmax-provided cables were sufficiently long to reach the motherboard. This jury-rigged external PSU setup is working well. All output voltages are right on spec, and the Coolmax PSU runs cool, even though the Coolmax's 5V rail is rated at somewhat less current than that of the original PSU. The original PSU will be repaired and reinstalled as time permits, but until then, the old PC will chug on, powered by the externally-mounted Coolmax.

Works great as a replacement for my very old Orion HP585D, which is no longer available. Very happy with the price and compatibility.

It worked great, but was mostlikely defective in some way. On the 6th week, it just died while in use. The manufacture has a 1yr product warranty, but their website posted contact email and phone number does not work.I can only hope Amazon will cover it,but I may just be out my money and time.Basically good luck and I hope you don't have any issues with it prematurily breaking.

I have an Inspiron 530 that i wanted to upgrade the Graphics card for (to use for CAD and Gaming, etc.), but the issue was that the Power supply was at 350W and i did not want to risk frying my computer(Yes, that can happen if you dont have enough power). I had a budget of $210, and i got the Sapphire Radeon R7 260X(Which is an amazing GPU by the way, check it out). The graphics card was about $150 and i needed something that could fit in my budget. Being priced at approximately $31, this was a perfect fit for me. At $193, i got 2 day shipping and got the parts.HOWEVER: When i was installing this, i got a bit confused on the parts. It has multiple Peripherals, and only 2 SATAs. Now, The 2 SATAs i used for my 2 hard drives, but my DVD drives were unpowered, so they would not work. Be sure to look at the box, and it will tell you all the parts you need. So i ordered 2 adapters for Male SATA to Female Peripherals, at $4 a piece. Add another $8 to the original $193, you end up with $201.When using the product: This Power supply is off the rockers. The fan is so quiet, i can barely tell that the Computer is on. It has 380W Dedicated to all other accessories like Graphics Cards, etc. The system i have only uses 120W out of the 500W total. This thing is absolutely perfect, and when matched with the Sapphire Radeon R7 260X, this system can be used as an ultimate Desktop.My Specs:Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33 GHz4.00 GB DDR2 RamWindows 8.1 ProSapphire Radeon R7 260X- 2GB GDDR5, with DVI, HDMI, and Display Port(Comes with DVI to VGA Adapter)Dell Inspiron 530 Model Case(2009 Built)If you are looking to upgrade your power for gaming,etc. Then pair this with the Graphics card i mentioned. But ultimately, This Power Supply has got to be the best power supply i have ever bought(The only one ive ever bought as well :D). $31 Well spent on a great piece of equipment!!4 Stars rated since i had to buy the Peripheral Adapters.

Bueno

Worked right out of the box. Needed something to replace my slowly failing power supply. Installation took 10 minutes and I was up and running again.

The ps fan on my old dell was surging on and off for no reason. Very very annoying. I replaced it with this one. The install took about ten minutes. Booted up fine the first time and has worked well and quietly since (3 weeks or so).Now, this is not the ps for a gamer pc - if you have a graphics card that gets its own power or other heavy power needs I would look elsewhere perhaps. But for me and my basic home/work business desktop, this filled the bill nicely. Just be realistic folks.

Used this power supply to replace one in a pc that suffered a power surge that damaged the original supply.Super quiet fan and was easily installed. Good price as well.

I have ordered many of these now and have only had one minor problem once. I once got one that did indeed work as it should, however the bearing in one of the fans was not what it should be. I got a free replacement and free return kit for the one that didn't work and have ordered many of them since then, and never had an issue with them.

Lasted about a year of non stop 24 hour use. Had it working on a home server. Around 6 months in i opened it up and replaced the fan on it because it was making noise and turning slow then about 6 months after that it died overnight. I do have another one of these in the home theater PC but i dont have it on much so will see. So if you want a PSU that last long buy a quality one. This one is very light. all my other PSU are much heavier and are still going.

Update: ran for 1hr before throwing a surge that killed my motherboard and video card. Buyer beware. This was used as a temporary PSU until my modular PSU arrives, now I got to build all over again...Feels a bit light. Doesn't seem to be as good a quality as other cheap supplies out there. It's single 12v rail, with a GPU plug. Works fine, but wouldn't recommend for 24/7 use.
