ARESGAME AGK850 - 850W Fully Modular 80Plus Gold Certified Power Supply Unit Review

Expected a Chinese special in a plain box with crap instructions. PS came well packaged in a good looking box. Inside the box I found the PS to be well padded foam molded to the PS shape. (Good thing too, judging by the smashed box corner, the USPS wasnt gentle with it). All the cables and accessories came neatly in an impressive nylon velcro closure bag. The cables were neatly tied and well labeled. Mounting screws, zip ties, and Velcro cable management wraps were also included. They even…

Dead on arrival bought it for a project computer I was building for my nephew by the time I got around to installing it was past the return window wouldn't recommend as this is the second time in the last few years they sent me a dead psu

When I first got the power supply I thought it was DOA. I unplugged it a few times from my motherboard for testing different mobos and gpus. The issue was the 20+4 wire and/or the port on the power supply itself. I had to unplug the wire and plug it back in the mobo and PSU a few times for it to work. It tested as working with their test pin that they send. I know it’s not the motherboard because I ordered a new one thinking my mobo that was sitting for a few months out of a case might have…

Built well , definitely can handle anything you throw at it , cost is right price point . Definitely recommend for budget builds .

This was the second power supply that I bought from these people. Replacing a power supply is never that easy but installing this one went well. The first one (in another pc) has been running with no problem now for over a year. These power supplies are well-built and trouble-free.

Never have I ever had this much difficulty installing a PSU. I had to pull the battery on my motherboard three times to clear the bios to even get the machine to boot. It would just turn all the lights on my devices and turn off. This was not a simple task since my battery is covered on my motberboard and basicly had to disassemble my pc multiple times. Now that everything is finally working, i just dont feel confident that it will continue powering my pc, let alone be called a "gaming" PSU. I…

Great price. Modular and quiet. 850 watt and gold rating at this price cant complain. Only good things to say about this unit in my new build.

Connected everything and even troubleshooted it. It still won’t boot. Only a small led at the top of the case turns on. I was so excited to have a secure system for college but now I’ll have to buy a new computer while micro center takes months to figure out what went wrong with this one.

It was 7 pm est i was finishing up work for the day then suddenly i hear a loud bang thinking i was under fire and the russians were invading i dropped to the floor i smelled burning after confirming i had not been injured i saw the culprate it was no russian ! But it was however my Power Supply 850W Fully Modular 80Plus Gold now hopefully i can return it

I am buying a new PSU. If I wanted to buy a used PSU, I would have ordered a used PSU. But the one I ordered? It was supposed to be a NEW PSU. I get a box from ebay that has already been opened once, resealed with packaging tape , and then THAT tape has been cut open. My PSU is scratched, banged up, looks like somebody bumped it or hit it against something. One corner looks like it has literal cement on it from being dropped or something. Why do I have to count and recheck every item in the…

The power supply is awesome no noise and it holds power great. I haven't had any issues with it kicking off at all. And I utilize every port it has in it. It's super quiet and doesn't really put out hardly any heat.

I dont' know if its just me or what but i've had bad luck with Powersupplies on amazon. This one did not work at all and had to put my old unit back in. I ended up returning this.

I was going to use this to replace my current power supply due to the upgrades I was applying to my system. My PC is a Dell XPS-8930 with Windows 11. The supply passed the self test and I had no problem installing it. But I did run into 2 issues. #1 was that there was no mini-SATA power cable for my optical drive. #2 was that no matter I what I did, I could not get the PC to boot with it. I followed all of the instructions and troubleshooting from the manufacturer to no avail. I will say that…

Power supply was super easy to install. Easy cable installs. One star rating due to power supply failing after 3 months of intermittent use.

I work in IT field and built several pc's. For the price and the specs, this is a very good power supply. 850 is more than what you need and can handle AAA games with a heavy use of your GPU. Even for business alike who uses their pc's for CAD and 3D, Video editing, graphic design work. A must buy for everyone who are in a budget. The way they made this doesnt feel cheap. This specific model AGKs is modular, the housing is pretty tough, fans are quiet and sleeved cables. Also another thing I…

I decided to upgrade my gaming rig from and old i5 w/ a 650 watt PSU to a an i9 + ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E. First unit burned out (fortunately no damage to my equipment, but terrible smell). I returned and received a replacement unit. I used the tester and "the fan spinned" so it felt like it would work, went through the trouble of removing the old 650W PSU and plug in the new one. only to have it burn out on the first use as well (again, no damage but terrible smell).I don't know why a 850W PSU…

Despite what happened to me with this PSU, I still would recommend it to anyone and would purchase it again. What happened was I bought this PSU as brand new, but ebay somehow sent me one that was returned by a previous buyer. Parts were missing, the box was damaged in shipping, and I just didn't trust it knowing that it was a returned item. So, I got into a chat with customer service and they straightened everything out. I got a new one on its way to me even before I sent back the one I had. I

This is the first PSU I purchased this year that didn't require any extra purchases for adapters. The PCIE's can be broken down from 8 to 6 and The CPU connect from an 8 to 4 in case you have that extra connection. Look like even the 24 pin can be taken down to a 20. This is excellent if you're building for someone and don't know exactly what you need. This will pretty much cover anything.

Quiet and easy to manage. Plenty of cables for connecting all my needs. Great packaging for safe transport. Tendency to draw too much power and trip household circuit breakers!

Was completely done building my pc and when it came to testing the power the PSU didn’t turn on or show any sign of it powering, currently waiting on a replacement. Had high hopes for a 850W PSU
