AGV Series 500W Power Supply, 80 Plus Bronze Certified, Non Modular Power Supply, 5 Year Warranty

For the price I think this is a great power supply. I’ve built a few PCs over the years, this time I was upgrading an older prebuilt. I was adding a new graphics card but I needed a power supply that supported one. So I figured I’d give this one a shot, It came with a small dent in the box but I’m sure that wasn’t the sellers fault and did not affect the unit at all. I mounted it in the case plugged it in and it started right up just as it should. I’ve been pushing it I’ve had it on for 2 days straight no problem. It doesn’t get vary warm and isn’t noisy at all. It’s practically silent.

I've had this PSU running on my PC now for a couple of weeks and everything is working great. I got it fast, practically the next day. (May 7, 2025) The product was packed nicely and in great condition. Brand new, as far as I could tell. I will update this if anything goes wrong within the next year. As of now, I'm very happy with this purchase.

5 Stars so far, as it installed pretty easy, and provides power to the computer. Bought this as my EVGA PSU had the bearing go in the fan and it sounds like the biggest fly you've ever heard trying to fly through a ripped screen door... Will update if it ever gives me any problems. Definitely on the light side compared to something name brand, so there's definitely a reason you're paying less for this unit. System I currently have it in is a Ryzen 5 5600X (No overclock of course), an EVGA 1080FTW, with 16GB of RAM. Powers the system just fine for gaming.

Solid psu for systems that don't need a ton of power. I just built a core i3 12100F with a 1060ti 6g, 512gb nvme, couple case fans, this is just a bench system. It "can" do some 1080p gaming but that's not it's job. I dropped Redhat 8 on a 256gb nvme that I will swap back and forth as I need the OS. I ran stress-ng for 3hrs at full tilt boogey and this little box just rocked it. I wanted to test everything, make sure the motherboard was going to hold up, I got the cpu second hand, and also the gpu. I read a number of other reviewers claim scary smells coming from their psu's so I hoped to hammer this thing and see if I could stress it beyond it's capabilities. I didn't have any complaints from any of this hardware. The psu performed perfectly. I can't complain one bit, 80+ Bronze? less than $40? I mean, what's not to love? If you right-size your psu for your system you should be golden. My system according to pcpartspicker should draw about 288w. That makes this psu the perfect sweet spot. I liked it so much that I purchased the bigger brother the 850w fully modular version and I'm currently stress testing that system and its not even breaking a sweat. I'm very pleased with this psu. I might have found my new favorite psu brand.

Good stuff building on it Ryzen5 5500 motherboard b450M 32GB RAM 5FANS GTX 1070 MAKE IT GO ITS GOOD TO BUDGET FRIENDLY 🥳

I know it work but can’t use it at this moment until I upgrade my motherboard

Unfortunately I got a bad unit from the factory. I went to install the thing and it is completely missing a 24 pin wire / pin. Go figure it’s 1 day after amazons return policy. I’ll update the review here for customer service experience asap.Update: 3/25/25After a business day after sending Ares support a message about my unit they reached out to me and got me a replacement unit coming. The product is what it is, a budget unit, don’t expect perfection or a quality+ feeling to wiring and such in general. But what got me to instantly raise my review was the company standing behind their warranty and the help.
