I had a GameMax PSU which I installed in my server computer a few years back as a "test". Still going strong now so great to see them still making them. Fantastic option for a budget build, thanks Mike and Kath 🙂
People often overlook these but I feel they offer decent value and have a good track record here at MUBHQ
I've had a number of budget range psu's over the years . Long as you don't over strain (load) these units, then you'll be fine.
i agree totally
Great review as always Mike and Lady Kath. Anytime you can turn on a power supply and it and Lady Kath doesn't go BANG is a good thing. 😄 Thanks for sharing guys. Take care. Cheers
lol yeah agreed! no BANG is a good sign
Great review Mike.The psu seems to have some good features in it,but l like to have fully modular psus in my builds.Thank you for sharing with us Mike & Kath👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
No problem 👍
Good video. I dunno.. Up until this week, I would have been fine with budget power supplies. An ARESGAME 850W 80Plus psu that I bought brand new 15 months ago from Amazon went sideways and destroyed a rtx 3060ti this week. (I use a surge protector, So..) I initially thought it was the motherboard that had went wonky and did the damage since it still turned on but the video output had massive lines and the pc was very slow to do anything BUT I found out differently when I when I hooked up another motherboard/psu & video card and still had multiple problems, I then hooked up a 600w Evga psu that I had lying around and the newer motherboard setup works fine. The ARESGAME 850W under warranty but what chance do I have of getting the motherboard & video card replaced. I would say slim to none and slim just boarded a bus heading out of town. I ordered a new 850W Cosair 80+ Gold psu since I also got a good "Prime day" deal on a 13700k cpu, z790 motherboard, cpu cooler, nvme drive & psu. My last Intel pc was an i7 4790, it's been a while.
yeah sorry to hear that.
Great video thanks Mike
Glad you enjoyed it
Mike's Unboxing & Review is Worthy of a Support comment. Like & a share 🙂
very supportive, thanks both
I bought a EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 GT, 80 Plus Gold 1000W, Fully Modular PSU for $159. I think that was a good deal.
On paper. It's the recent rumours of EVGA winding down as a business and warranty support. Customers always get shafted when that happens.
@@roythunderplump I'm not worried about warranties. If EVGA calls it quits and this PSU breaks, I'll just buy another one from someone else.
@@roythunderplump that rumor would not stop me from buying an EVGA PSU if the price was right and I was able to know who the OEM was. Only issue I ever had with one was after a couple a years, the fan was making a hideous noise. It was much easier and cheaper, for me, to just change the fan for a much better quality one instead of starting an RMA process and now it is silent.
@@OlettaLiano I think you got a good deal Big O. Looks like the OEM is HEC, which while not the name Seasonic is, it is a reputable PSU maker. A definite much better choice than the Gigabyte PSU you bought that I warned you about....;)
@@PapaMav Good to be a bit tech savvy to replace parts if you are careful.
Added a LIKE before I watch. Who is the OEM Mike? Thank you.
thanks for the like, the OEM i am unsure 100% from conflicting reports, some say gamemax some say CWT, i am more inclined to say CWT is appears to look very similar to some of their more budget models
@@mikesunboxing cool, you know how much we likes our CWT !
Budget price yet nice black flat cables and output ideal for htpc builds or with sensible gpu power draws. 140mm fan maximum cooling too. Thanks for reviewing Mike and Kath 🐈👍
cant go too far wrong for £30 as long as you are aware of the limitations
Hi Mike, have you thought about looking at either of the slightly cheaper GP450, or GP550 white versions AWD also has in stock?
no the GP are a bit too low spec for even me. they have their used but for me it is a step to far
Looked on both Amazon and Ebay for this as I'm building a low budget pc for a neighbours young lad, neither had 3 pin power cord included unfortunately, never understand why as it's damned frustrating, just thought I'd give you a heads up.
thanks for the heads up
@@mikesunboxing np ..bought an evga 500w 80+ bronze for £5 more(with mains cord😁)
Why do people hate on this brand of power supply as I have nothing but good luck with them as I have three myself?
I tried a cheap PSU once and I cannot say I was impressed. Sure enough, I'm torturing my computer, but I though the excess wattage would make up for the quality, I was wrong, hopefullym nothing bad happened, but I learned my lesson..
yeah these lower end psu's have there place, and like you said over doing the wattage as a safeguard is not ideal. If you need a decent PSU buy one, don't risk it
This isn't on the certification list for any 80 plus rating. Might be a fake certification. We have plenty of those in SE Asia. (PSUs with fake 80 plus certifications)
here is the 80 plus certificate www.clearesult.com/80plus/sites/80plus/files/manufacturer-certificate/gamemax-gmxrpg500-1071.pdf
@@mikesunboxing Hmmm it is not showing up on clearesult anymore.
2 year warranty is a bit sus. I just bought one so we'll see 😅
they are pretty good an seem to be holding up just fine. Time will tell though
Hello mike What do u know about Antec Psu ?
very little to be honest, i know that years ago the earthwatts range was great, but not up to date on the modern PSUs or who makes them for Antec
@@mikesunboxing no risk with antec ?
@@lanx9501 there is a risk with all brands, and antec quality for cases and fans have gone downhill over the years so by that logic i can't imagine the psus have improved
@@mikesunboxing thanks
i have seen this 5 units of brand on a clients PCs, their PSU are exploding!!
this specific model?
@mikesunboxing brand, but it's a cheap PSU after all, these kind of psu are targeting office desktops.
