Works Great
This was not my initial choice for a new build, but when my order for another brand was not going to be available until a later date, switched to this brand. I am glad I did. Like it’s hybrid wired / modular design, so you don’t have excess cable in case you don’t need. The cables are nicely wrapped, and are well suited to nice cable management. It’s fan runs quietly, and powers my new build perfectly. Even comes with nice Thumb Screws for attaching to case. I know that is a small thing, but I appreciate the nice Thumb Screws over regular screws. It has the Gold + standard, and had a nice price for the features. Am very happy with purchase, and would recommend,

Great power supply, Great price!
I bought this APEVIA PSU to replace my previous PSU (also an APEVIA unit) which died by a mistake made when building the computer originally, and the need for additional peripheral power, that took a full 5 years to manifest to the point (it was installed upside down) that it finally killed that original Apevia unit dead. Needless to say, definite high marks to Apevia for making a seriously rugged PSU that can hang from excessive heat buildup!! I’m sold! This unit, correctly installed this time btw, works just great, and is whisper quiet along with giving me enough extra power above the computer’s needs, to run a bank of USB 3.0 ports w/card reader and charge my wireless headphones, phone, and bluetooth speaker(s) (not all at once though!) in addition to its main job of computer power. Will likely stay with this brand going forward with future computer builds and upgrades.

So far so good! One problem, though. (for newbies).
The Apevia ATX-GX650W Galaxy 650W 80+ is a great Power Supply and hasn’t failed yet. The installation was somewhat easy for me. However, for newbies, you may have trouble with installing this PSU if you have not done this before. There were no instructions. That is the only thing I had a problem with and others may too! That is why I have put this in the review. Also, like many PSU’s, this PSU is heavy!

Just what I needed for my system upgrade
A major upgrade to 9900X/B650 meant using my existing high-end PSU for new system. My old 5900X/x570 system will be passed on with lesser video & such, so this inexpensive 650W PSU was just the ticket.Supplied cables covered every need. Could of used 1 more SATA and 1 less PATA cable. Split plug ends for CPU+ and PCI cables should cover any pin combo.Fan is quiet and moves plenty of air.Apevia 650W provides plenty of power for my wife’s “new” Ryzen 5900X system.

A budget PSU
I think a lot of people are wary of Apevia because they’re considered something of a “no-name” nowadays; most have forgotten that Apevia has been a big name since 2000. Although they used to be primarily known for their PC cases, they started making power supplies in 2005 so they’ve got some experience under their belts. Honestly for the low price this PSU costs, it works great and is aesthetically pleasing. There are really only 2 minor things that should be noted. The first is the flat molded cables; pretty much every single PSU manufacturer makes cables like this now, so it’s not exactly a bad point for just this PSU, but man these things drive me nuts. Always super stiff and difficult to tuck away for neat cable management due to how wide and flat they are. I wish we could get back to the old days of power supplies where every wire was seperate and multicolored, because they were much easier to cable manage. The second point is the noise level of the fan, which a few people have said in their reviews is incredibly loud, while others say it is not loud at all. The true answer is really both. At maximum speed, the fan in the PSU is very loud and whiny, but at anything below maximum speed, the fan is perfectly silent. Realistically there are only 2 times when the PSU fan will hit maximum speed; running torture tests like GPU or CPU benchmarks, and for exactly 1 second when you first power on your computer. Most motherboards will ramp all connected fans to maximum speed for 1 second upon startup as a hardware test to check all fans are working, and then immediately engages PWM or voltage control, depending on 3 or 4 pin headers. This is perfectly tolerable unless you are just really really picky, in which case there are plenty of PSUs that cost 2-3 times as much for you that will not have the 1 second of fan sound. Torture tests also hardly reflect real time performace and 99% of people will never push their hardware far enough to require the PSU to need that much cooling.

Has not blown up yet!
Just kidding, I buy this a lot for my client builds and they always work and I have not had to swap out or replace a bad unit!

Disappointing Product and Process
This product was essentially dead on arrival. There is no worse feeling than building your first computer and as it boots up, the power supply fails for no reason. I contacted Amazon who promised a refund within 2-3 hours of return so I could replace my power supply. A day after I dropped the item off at UPS, I was told it could take up to 30 days and I might only get a partial or no refund. I watched this bounce back and forth between two UPS locations for a week before finally being marked as delivered. I was excited to see my full refund finally credited to my account last night. Unless you want to be jerked around, do not waste your time with this product. After mine didnât work, I read reviews and noticed the theme. My son felt bad for putting it in the cart for me to purchase without us first reading reviews. I ended up going with a different brand and now my PC works beautifully.

Es una buena fuente de poder considerando su precio,cumple con lo que promete y hasta el momento no he tenido ni un problema el único detalle es que el ventilador que tiene no es de muy buena calidad y es un tanto ruidoso pero de allà en más,la fuente está excelente

Positive: Works as supposed to.Negative: Had a ding in it but might have happened in transit.

Needed something for the interim until a PSU came back into stock. This fit the bill for the time being without spending too much. Under full load it is very loud when running furmark with an XFX 6800XT. There’s also quite a bit of coil whine. It is 80 plus gold certified as per the website but as far as the components are concerned, time will only tell.
