Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Apevia ATX-SN1050W Signature 1050W 80+ Bronze Certified Active PFC ATX Modular Gaming Power Supply: Unleash Optimal Performance for Gamers by Reginald Holman

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I can't figure out who this is for.

This PSU powers the MB and 2 GPUs on a small mining rig I built. The manufacturer makes it clear that they don't want you digging with this power supply. Only 2 PCI-e cables are available, total 4 8pin connectors. As other reviewers have pointed out, there are multiple SATA ports and a TON of Molex ports. This is above average for a watt power supply. Most of them are around 750 watts. So my question is, who did you make this power supply for? It's clear that we're directing our extra watts towards the 4-pin Molex connector. I can't think of any high performance devices that I would want to use on my computer that uses them. In any case it is. Thanks for the cheap power supply. Unfortunately I can't use it as often as I'd like, but I've heard that the best efficiency on these things is around 50% load anyway.
