Review on ARESGAME AGK850 - 850W Fully Modular 80Plus Gold Certified Power Supply Unit by Scott Snyder

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Hard to install for my opinion

Never have I ever had this much difficulty installing a PSU. I had to pull the battery on my motherboard three times to clear the bios to even get the machine to boot. It would just turn all the lights on my devices and turn off. This was not a simple task since my battery is covered on my motberboard and basicly had to disassemble my pc multiple times. Now that everything is finally working, i just dont feel confident that it will continue powering my pc, let alone be called a "gaming" PSU. I stress out everytime i press my power button on my pc thinking it wont turn on again. Buyer beware!

Pros
  • Had a power supply that went out after 12 years. Replaced it with this and it worked perfectly.
Cons
  • The cables are too stiff and difficult to manage and route properly
