Review on πŸ’¨ Cooler Master Elite 500W Ver.3 - Quiet ATX Power Supply with PCI-E Support and 120mm Fan by Steven Asthana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You don't need a unique PC manufacturer's PSU

Someone before me put a graphics card in a PC without making sure the factory PSU would fit. The inevitable freezes and quirks made the owner think about a new PC. Some PC manufacturers are developing a PSU bracket that may have an extra pin. They feel compelled to buy their overpriced inefficient power supply. think again Their thin cases allow you to bend the pins aside and even drill a new hole to insert a most likely unnecessary self-tapping screw. There is nothing special about this Cooler Master box other than its reasonable price and performance. The PC and the new graphics card it now supports don't stay on all the time; Therefore, energy efficiency was not taken into account. With the modification of the housing, it could be mounted perfectly and had the right power connections. A few months later, avoiding still running like a champ and spending a few bucks on a new PC.

Pros
  • Made by
Cons
  • Big and bulky
