Artis VIP400R+ 400W SMPS/Power Supply Unit

Value for Money.

This SMPS is basically for Budget or Mid Range PCs Where Power Requirement is Under 250-300 Watts. So as per my recommendation Calculate your PC wattage before buying any SMPS. The Pros & Cons are Summed Up with this review Video here: PROS: 1) Comes under budget 2) Silent Operation of 12cm Fan 3) With my usage of Approx. 200 Watts, It didn't Overheat. 4) Has Necessary Pins & Some Basic Protection 5) Watts ratings are clearly mentioned CONS: 1) Connector Wires are little thin & Short compared to other PSUs. 2) The Case could have been more sturdy. 3) Only 1 Year of Warranty. Though They are not the only Brand to provide 1 yr warranty in this price range but still they should give atleast 2 years of warranty. Thank You. Watch the Video Till Last.

I thought it was gonna be a cheap psu and i was worried installing a graphics card on my system but it turned out it can run it without any problem its a GTX 1050 ti so you can run a graphics card which doesn't require any external power without any problem as it doesn't come with a six or a 8 pin connector i have installed 3 storage devices , 2 rams , a 75 watt gpu , a 77 watt cpu , 3 fans and it handles it without any weird nose or over heating .

Expectation was high. First one I got had big dent on backside even though was plastic sealed. Certainly defect at manufacturing end because cardboard box was ok. Second one got had warranty sticker broken even though SMPS was with proper plastic seal. Also warrant card was missing here. After 15 mins in PC the mobo burnt. I won't put full blame on SMPS because it was 7 year old (but rarely used PC) with BIOS booting issues. Also one day back I accidentally put PCI card on PCIe slot which burnt the card. But until I installed this SMPS the PC (also that PCIe slot because checked with graphics card) was OK. With this new SMPS some performance enhancements were noticed in Windows 7 rating, during that 15 mins. But all of a sudden CPU shutdown and mobo was gone. Later externally powering the SMPS I found that putting some 2A load on 3.3V rail was causing all other voltages to sink. Like -12V SB became -10.8V and 3.3 V itself 2.2V. This was not so in my 7 year old SMPS which I wanted to upgrade. So my suggestion is kindly check for dents, warranty seal, scratches etc before opening plastic seal. And if possible use in less expensive setup first or manually check voltages with some load (like 60W halogen Activa bulb) before installing. Any damage to your expensive setup won't be covered under warranty.

Currently working very well and hope this works and try to deliver fast.
