You should always keep in mind that the power supply does not only provide energy, it also protects. It protects us from occasional overvoltages, harmonics and good, even micro-cuts. When we talk about voltage micro-cuts, we are talking about the typical flickering of light bulbs, which in a bad source could mean that the equipment shuts down.
Cheap power supplies can be expensive
Among the protective measures, power supplies are designed to absorb damage. They have different protection systems that aim to prevent the graphics, processor and other components from being damaged. Indeed, it is much cheaper to change a power supply at 200 dollars than a graphics card at 800-1000 dollars.
But the best sellers on amazon are from cheaper and that means quality trim of components. Although they may have guards, the quality goes a long way in protecting the components. But it is that in addition, they include elements that are fake and give a false feeling of quality.
Mars Gaming MPII650
When we saw that this power supply is the most sold on Amazon, we did not credit. In fact, we are not going to go into the wiring, the electronics and other elements, there is an element that betrays it to the beast. Granted, anyone without a lot of knowledge will see it and think it’s good quality, but it’s a deceiving diet.
This font is advertised with a 85% efficiency, something that is debatable. This type of efficiency, according to the standard certifier, would be a 80 Plus Bronze. When we searched, Mars Gaming got the hard face of madly copy this certificate, stating 85 Plus. Say that this certificate does not existthey are fair cheater users with less knowledge with a “label” that is worthless.
The truth is that poor one who acquires this diet. Of course, not only is the certification totally false, but it is also The indicated efficiency seems wrong. Undoubtedly, this practice is very disturbing and does not speak well of the brand, trying to deceive users with limited knowledge.
Silent Soul APIIII500
Here we find a case of user cheating, but at least it’s not as unfortunate as Mars Gaming. According Tancensthis power supply also has a 85% efficiency. We don’t know where it comes from supposed efficiencybut we will, it’s impossible that a 20 euro power supply unit performs as well as triple the price.
It literally says “EFFICIENCY 85% BRONZE LEVEL: SMD manufacturing technology with 85% Bronze efficiency, high quality components and reliability. What they do is use the term Bronze, the same as certification 80 Plus Bronze. It seems impossible to us that a diet such as Corsair CV450 450Wwhich comes from a reputable and reputable manufacturer, and costs 60 dollars.
But there’s one good thing, and that’s no PCIe cable to power graphics cards. At least it can’t be used on most gaming PCs because most graphics cards require additional power.
Nox Urano VX 650W
It is the third best-selling power supply and of the three, it is the only reliable one. He has a 80 Plus Bronze Certificate it seems real, we say it seems, because it is one of the marks pointed out for using this certificate in its sources in a fraudulent way. The problem is that we can’t check because there is no list with all 80 Plus Bronze certified power supplies.
The truth is, certified 80 Plus is a bad joke. First, there is no way to verify the certificate, as no public information is offered. Moreover, the maker he can change components keep the power and it serves the certification. Two factors that reduce the reliability of the certificate.
You may be wondering how we can know that other manufacturers such as Corsair, ASUS, Seasonic, Antec and others who use this certificate do not do the same. Well, these manufacturers give their products for unbiased review and when you see the pictures you can see the quality of the components.
We’re going give Nox a vote of confidence and since the price difference with other brands is around 10-15 dollars, we will think that is good. Just that they used slightly cheaper components and the power supply is not modular. The two elements make it possible to justify the difference.
