Apevia TFX-AP300W Standard Flex ATX 300W Power Supply - 115-230V AC, 1 x 20/24Pin Main Power, 1 x 12V(P4), 3 x Pheripheral, 3 x SATA, 1 x Floppy

I used this power supply for a little over a year. I ordered it on May 18th, and I probably got it installed easily before the end of that month with prime delivery and all. Well, I had this power supply running an i5 7600k, 8gb ram, and a gtx 1650. It ran this system awesome for a long time in my opinion. Today marks the day it has died. My HTPC with the above specs can no longer make it into windows with this power supply as it cuts off too early to load windows all the way(I'm using an NVMe drive, mind you). At first I was thinking "oh great, there goes my $150 gpu that now costs $300 thanks to scalpers". But everything is fine. I installed my spare 750w evga supernova I had laying around and the system works just fine again. This $30 cheapo power supply lasted me, what? a year a two months? 14 months of usage for only $30. I had ordered a noctua 80mm fan to replace the one in the power supply, when I had ordered it but I wanted to wait and see if the existing fan had any issues. It didn't seem to have any issues, honestly. Making a higher quality fan would make it last a bit longer(maybe if I had installed that noctua), but then that would drive up the price of the power supply. I think it's a bit too late for the fan installation now as the power supply is whining quite a bit. You really can't beat this psu for the price at all. Even the competing power supplies cost more than it would be to get this and a noctua fan. Noctua is even nice enough to give you a 3pin to 2pin conversion adapter so you don't have to route the fan's cable out of the psu. Also wanna point out that this power supplies fan was indeed the loudest in my computer at idle. CPU is running on a watercooler with a 120mmx40mmx45mm radiator(sometimes gotta do unique stuff with small cases) with three 40mm noctua fans constantly blasting it on full speed. The GTX 1650's fans did get much louder than the power supplies fan while gaming so it wasn't really a burden. Even while streaming the volume of whatever video would drown out the fan noise. If you're looking for a good power supply to get your sff pc up and running, this is the one. Sure, at this point I might get a higher quality power supply, but it sure was worth the 14 months that this $30 one worked.

Just installed this today. Ordered this to replace the original 250 watt power supply in a Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower desktop PC, which finally died after several years. Was very surprised at its weight - it's much lighter than the original. Not sure how that translates to quality or reliability. It's just slightly smaller than the original, which is a good thing. It fit perfectly, and the wires are longer than the original's wires - no issues reaching the connections that needed to be made. Install was super easy, just 3 screws, plug in connectors and you're done. PC powered right up and I was surprised how quiet this power supply runs. The CPU fans run MUCH louder than this power supply. It comes with a rather short power cable, but I chose to use the PC's original power cable. So far, so good, and a great deal for the price paid. The original, if I could find one brand new, would have cost me about $20 more. And this replacement has more connectors and 50 watts more power than the original. If it starts to act up or dies prematurely, I'll try to update this review.

The Apevia PSU worked perfectly (nice and quiet too) and addressed the issue with the PC not powering on. The PC was really dusty inside after being used for years near the floor in a restaurant. I cleaned it thoroughly when the old PSU was removed. The restaurant owner told me the old PC runs faster than it did before (no doubt due to the CPU throttling down due to the heat build-up). As I recall, the original PSU was 150 watts. It's nice having a more powerful PSU although I doubt they will add components to this old machine that would require the extra power. Still, if the old one was borderline sufficient, the replacement will be more than sufficient. It's been about 3 months since installing the Apevia PSU. Given the heavy PC usage, I'm confident this PSU is up to the task and won't hesitate to shop Apevia in the future. Here's a portion of an email I sent to the person who asked me to find a replacement PSU that you might find useful... "What made the search difficult is trying to make sure the unit fit the case width reserved for the PSU. There are two metal standups placed 2.625 inches apart. If the PSU is wider, the PSU will not lie flat on the case bottom. Here are the Apevia PSU dimensions: 80mm x 170mm x 62mm (3.23" x 6.75" x 2.5") - W x L x H The unit actually sits sideways in the case with the fan on the side facing toward the inside of the case. As a result, the 2.5" height is actually the width and the 3.23 width is actually the height. As I mentioned, the case provides a width of 2.625 so it's about 1/8 inch wider, which should be close enough to accommodate the replacement PSU. The back of the PSU has the plug connector on the top left when the PSU is on its side. This matches the old PSU and where the case expects the plug to be located. Additionally, when the PSU is on its side, there is a screw hole at the top middle and two more on the bottom left and right. This also matches what the case needs. I only found 3 PSUs on Amazon that could fit the case. The Apevia was the only PSU that had only 4 and 5 stars. With any luck, the restaurant's PC will be working Thursday night. We just have to hope the issue is the PSU. The current PSU says FSP150-50GLT on it. This size PSU is referred to as a TFX (thin form factor) PSU."

he comprado varias veces esta fuente de poder y no he tenido ningun inconvenviente. es buena calidad y producto.

It's a great power supply, but I bought the wrong size ( needed a 1U height for a server, this was too tall ) and they refunded me quickly without any hassle!

Good item

Arrived ahead of schedule, extremely well packaged. Better than the original power supply not only in watts, but has many more connectors and I can now add my third hdd and 2 gig video card.

Estoy contento, buena compra.
