Review on Apevia ATX-SN900 Signature 900W Gaming Power Supply - 80+ Bronze Certified, Active PFC, ATX Semi-Modular Design by Zachary Greene

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great Budget PSU

A few months ago I was trying to buy my first Apevia power supply due to reviews that portrayed it as a fire hazard, but after three (now) weeks with no problems I believe many of the bad Apevia -Power supply reviews are user errors (and some weird cases). I was confident enough with the models that just to turn the LED lights off would require voiding the warranty (wish the manufacturers had added an on/off switch). The fans are quiet and the output is stable as long as you don't overload the PSU. You MUST keep in mind that there are only 2 PCI-E outputs (1 wired, 1 modular). Depending on your graphics card(s), you may need to be careful how you connect the cables or you risk melting the wires. The chances of overloading other ports are slim unless you're into extreme overclocking (in which case I would definitely NOT recommend using an Apevia power supply ;). These are consumer devices, not enthusiasts.

Pros
  • High Performance Protection: Short Circuit / Over Voltage / Over Power / Under Voltage Protection. Dual front converter.
Cons
  • Negative present
