Review on ARESGAME 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Power Supply (AGW600) by Robert Goodlow

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This PSU is quiet and works well.

I bought this (6 months ago as of this writing) because I upgraded my video card and needed more power than the 300 watt unit my PC came with. This was installed without issue in my HP Envy tower The screw holes were aligned properly and it was seated and secured easily. I got the AGW600 80+ Bronze, which was more than I needed by a good margin. It has been working well for a while and I expect it to last a long time.It is a budget brand when compared to high-end name brands like Corsair and others. I wouldn't suggest pushing it to the max. Buy a unit rated for 100 watts or more than you need and you shouldn't stress the components to the max and risk failure under max load. It will still be less expensive than buying a gold-rated power supply by far.The power rating isn't how much power it uses at all times. It is a rating for how much it can provide when needed. Much like a 300 horsepower engine only generates that power at the maximum. I also plug my PC into a small UPS (like a CyberPower CP900AVR) to protect from surges and other power variations. It is worth protecting your PC investment.*UPDATE* - (10/13/22) Closing in on a year of use and I have had no issues with this power supply. It has been a solid performer and is still nice and quiet. I am still happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Easy to install, runs quiet and no issues.
Cons
  • Unresponsive customer service
