Review on Apevia ATX GX1000W Galaxy Certified Semi Modular by George Jacobson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very loud The internal power supply

Pretty loud. Even under light load when the system itself doesn't turn on its fans. So I manage to eliminate most of the noise by cutting out the metal fan shroud, barbaric as it may sound. It worked! Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the case deflects the air in opposite directions. So much for research and development, right? It powers my r9 5950x and rx 5700xt adequately while doing some renderings so it didn't really push too hard. Pros: It was cheap at the time of writing this review. (Don't make me regret it) Provides rated power. (As far as I know) Provides cable. (Hallelujah) Cons: Very noisy. (unless you want to modify your power supply, which is DANGEROUS and/or FATAL if you don't know what you're doing.) As for the thin 1000W output cable, I would recommend buying a thicker output power cable. My bottom line is 3/5 if you're willing to get creative, if not I'd recommend a different power supply that's quieter.

Pros
  • is clear even to the old
Cons
  • Some little things
