Review on EVGA 500 BR 80+ Bronze Power Supply - 500W, 3 Year Warranty - 100-BR-0500-K1 by Brian Lee

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's still early, but so far so good!

I've had this power supply for a few days now. I installed it as soon as I knew it was at my door, which is just after midnight. Thanks courier for not knocking - good thing I have honest neighbors. But I digress. The power supply was relatively easy to install on my Dell OptiPlex 7010 MT. The PCIe 6+2 connector was a bit fiddly to plug into my 8-pin connector on my MSI Radeon RX-480 GPU, but I ended up aligning and squeezing everything properly. Now I can happily use Oculus Link and SteamVR without having a lot of money! I have to admit that I don't hate ketchup and mustard cables. Although I bought this power supply based on research and recommendations, I prefer more color in my case.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Expensive
