Apevia SFX-AP500W Mini ITX Solution/Micro ATX/SFX 500W Power Supply

So far so good. Power my Jonsbo NAS with this with no issues.

Great PSU (Power Supply Unit). Didn't work for my build. Will definitely be using it in another build. So no loss.

The media could not be loaded. I just upgraded to a mini itx system. It's a tiny little 7.5l case so I needed an sfx psu. This one was almost too good to be true. It was the wattage I was recommended from a power consumption Calc app and the size I needed and the price was incredible.I go to build and my new system won't post. After hours of troubleshooting and a day or 2 later, I got to inspect the components after not being able to track down the problem when I see something I'd never seen before. Fried wire and cooked sata connectors. The burn runs all the way to the psu itself.I got lucky all I lost was 1 drive. Had my whole pc shorted or a fire started, it would have been all bad.Beware. Sometimes when something looks too good to be true, it's going to trybto light itself on fire like Richard Pryor and ruin your expensive toys.

the first one I received had a fault somewhere that made it only output around 9v on the 12v rail so tbe system wouldn't post, I tried with a difrent non sfx supply and everything worked fine, I also tried this psu on a difrent system and still low voltage and no post, so I put in for a replacement because this was the only psu in this formfactor avalible in this price range so it was that simple, could I have shelled out for a stupidly expensive gold sfx from Silverstone or seasonic or corsair or cooler master, yes, did I want to literly put as much into tbe psu of this little usff server build as the rest of the build costs or close to it... absolutely not, so I put in for a replacement and Amazon being Amazon was absolutely on it and had me a replacement at my doorstep with 3days and the new one works fine, it's not the best and the little fan that could realy works up a sweet trying to tame a ~300watt load but hay I didn't expect much for less than $40 and it's stable, it passes a aggressively unfair stress test with no perceptible voltage drop on any rail, and when I'm not taking it to a blacksite torture chamber and just using it under regular loads it absolutely stands on it own feet, damn site better than the pico psu it replaced...to be fair that pico was rated for 300w and I'm pushing a 5600 with a slight OC and a rtx 4060 LP but in reality that should be more than around 200watts so idk it just struggled to deliver a stable voltage even while being pushed via 12v off a 1200watt hp ProLiant Via a mining breakout that is more than capable of delivering the requisite currents for almost a dozen other devices using either 12v like switches and routers and a firewall and a couple asrock deskminis via a beefy marine 12v to 19v boost converter, idk I guess the inductors on the pico were cheap or maybe the guage of wire from the 12v supply was to thin idk it probebly should have only been rated for a buck fity but hay in no matter now cuz this unjustifiably cheap sfx psu has replaiced it and now I can reliably power a array of 8 3.5in hdds in this server finaly lol...no this is not long term cold storage that I'm fooling myself with being acceptably safe with this ultra cheap psu no this a 8 fairly fast big enterprise HDDs in a complicated and admittedly conveluted lvm array with nvme pcie 4.0 caching that I can read and write to ad a clip capable of fully saturating a 10gb full duplex link... and for that purpose this little budget server that could...realy realy can lol

Works great - not as noisy as other reviewers say (of course that can be just reviews getting aggregated) but worked perfectly. FYI - no 6-pin for higher end video cards - had to get an adapter to get the extra power - of course if you're building a higher end system the power capability might not give you what you need here -- but the price is right and the quality is as expected.

Not much to say. Great value, hasn't caused an issue. I wish the fan was a bit quieter, but I can't complain too much. Gets 50% efficiently at low usage, but that's common among power supplies. Cords are a bit cheap, but what can you expect.I wouldn't trust it with super mission critical data or pushing 500 watts, but its amazing at what it does for cheap.

Needed this for a super budget SFF itx am4 3600 build with 3200mhz ddr4 and a old 3060ti. Something small, portable and can game. I know there's a mathematical way to predict how many watts you need. 500w seemed slim to me for what it was going to power. I took a chance on this. For only $36 I wasn't really expecting this to pull through. To my surprise no problems at all. Have gamed on this PC for hours no issue at all. Don't expect miracles if you have high performance parts, but if its a low power pc build this should do the trick, fantastic price as well.👌👍

Good job
