The power supply is amazing, I must say. Seeing the reviews of other friends, I can say that they may have gotten a defective one. It is the best and its certifications make it even more value for money. I have had it for 3 years and I will continue to have it in the new PC I am going to build. Get it, don't even think about it.
It has been about 2 years since I started using it... it has been hurting my ears from the first day! Even in idle, it has a slight rattling noise, but when I open a game or something slightly heavy program, the noise becomes excessive! A few days ago, when I turned off the PC, I realized how much it has stolen my peace of mind! It may not bother me at the moment, but I will get another power supply to finally quiet down!
Very good power supply! Good cable quality, quiet, with enough connections for modern and older PCs. As for the LED, there is a button on the back of the power supply where you can choose the color you want and how bright it should be. There is no chance of it being installed incorrectly (only by someone who is not familiar with it)!
I've had it for two years and the brightness of the RGB cable management is really low. It's so-so, but I have a good case so you can't see any cables except for the power cable for the graphics card. So, I've even installed an RTX 3060 and it's not a problem. I thought I would have to make a hole in the wall, and not just in the wall, but in my head too. But it's there and it's not clear why. I give it three stars because of the RGB and the wiring
We used it in a build that you can see here: https://youtu.be/k3a8P4w-41g
Before this, we had used another 500 and a 700 of the same series, which worked for about 3 and 2 years respectively in gaming systems without any problems.
It has many connections, but its cables are a bit rigid and the outer coating looks very cheap to the touch.
Its lighting is quite weak and if there are other light sources, they cover it up, but if the case is old or doesn't have other lights inside, it makes it look very nice.
Overall, it's worth the money up to 40-45 euros. However, more than that, it's not worth it as there are better options.
I received the power supply... I didn't expect it to be so good for this price, stable, with huge endurance (even though the power has gone out several times) and with enough cables... The best value for money power supply for me... I highly recommend it.
A thousand times better to spend an extra 10 euros and get a Corsair or Be Quiet. Within a year, problems started arising (one provided enough power, one did not). Not to mention the noise it makes like an airplane.
When the computer starts to draw a little more power than just browsing, the power supply acts like it's ready to take off. It's like an airplane turbine, there's no such thing.
At the moment, the computer is not being used (the screen is black) and has Firefox and Discord open. Of course, the fan is at full throttle.
After a few months, the noise has become much worse, the fan must have started to play up, even more noise.
Sometimes I'm afraid and I think about chaining the computer so it doesn't move from its place.
Cleaning obviously doesn't change anything (it didn't collect much dust).
I'll try to change the fan or I'll just bite the bullet and get another normal power supply.
There are so many other power supplies at the same price, it's not worth it even if you save 5-10 euros.
Apart from the fan that many people have actually reported, the power supply has no other problem, it's fine.
I have had it for 2.5 years on an AMD fx-8350 with an Nvidia GTX1060. In the last two years, two motherboards burned out since I installed a graphics card that required a high wattage. The first one was expected to fail due to its age (6 years). The second one only lasted two years. Then I made the mistake of measuring the power supply only with a multimeter (which showed a normal 12.1V), which obviously does not capture voltage fluctuations and also did not test it under full load to see if any excessive power (current) protection would be activated. And so I continued to use it on my third motherboard until the cable in the photo burned out, and now I will see if the third motherboard also burned out.
This video clearly shows how terrible it is, where besides the high voltage ripple, the high power protection on the 12V line is not activated.
Especially at 3:30

The store where I bought it refused to honor the warranty, telling me that it could be the cable that burned out and that it passed the stress tests they performed. They didn't even open it.
Overall, it is effective and one of the cheapest 700-watt power supplies. It is 80plus bronze, not sure about the exact standard, but you definitely don't want to have a GPU that draws more than 550-600 watts with this power supply. It is suitable for a mid-range PC, a bit for high-end, and very much for a low-budget PC
Well guys, the power supply is vfm. BUT 700w is too much for a mid range pc so I would look for another option. Also, the fan is VERY powerful for no reason and doesn't have a switch to change the speed. The cables are very colorful and look very cheap. It doesn't have a triple graphics card cable or 2 processor cables. Overall, it's good, especially for 700w for about 55€
On the positive side:
+ Quality
+ Stable AC
+ Very good construction, doesn't look cheap
+ Brand name
But
- Makes a lot of noise, very negative
- It's really what other buyers say about silence
- The case I have is all NZXT RGB, so the RGB it has is like it doesn't exist at all. It's not worth getting a power supply for RGB.
- Cables are a bit hard, especially the 20+4pin mobo
- Insufficient cable for CPU_PWR2
It's good for the money it asks for, I have the 600W. But the sound is unbearable.
Imagine, as I mentioned above, all the fans are NZXT and as soon as I first set up the PC, I was looking at first to see where the sound was coming from, stopping each fan one by one.
I'm generally a person who looks for silence mode, and in this I fell short even from some reviews, but I don't blame it as 'bad' because it only makes noise, it's just annoying for me.
Overall, it's a good power supply so far, it hasn't given me any problems. It will show in the future.
The most value-for-money power supply that has come out on the market!! Very durable, has stable performance, has enough connections, quite high-quality I must say, and also a bit noisy... all in all, it's the best.
A very good power supply for its price with 700w, it is the best you can find. RGB is not necessary because it doesn't show up anyway, but overall it is a very good power supply
This power supply is very good for its price. The only negative thing I have is that the rgb lighting it has is not very strong. Finally, the build quality and performance are very good!
So, I have had it in my possession since May 2020 and my PC has a Ryzen 5 2600 and an RX5700XT. I plan on getting something better due to the processor I will be getting, but so far everything is good. I give it a 4/5 because it doesn't do the wave effect that it shows on the box
First purchase on 9/7/19, after simple use and a little bit of LOL and Fortnite, it broke down, lost power and the computer was freezing. Sometimes it wouldn't even turn on. I sent it back and they sent me another one on 14/10/19. With the use I told you about, I also added the 1660ti and it played well again. It didn't even last a year. Give me something more and take something else. This is not worth the 60
The performance is very stable. The cables are sufficient for a computer and entry-level budget, but also for a higher category that supports larger graphics cards. The only unnecessary thing I found regarding my own case is the RGB. I have turned it downwards with the fan for better airflow and have not seen any trace of RGB light.
I really didn't expect such a power supply from this company. The new power supply for my virgin Windows computer caused a sudden shutdown. But with a little patience, I discovered insufficient cooling in the power supply, too many cables, and my big issue - honestly, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone - I encountered the so-called coil whine, a demon of incompatibility between the motherboard and power supply, an inexplicable issue that made those who encountered it want to scream or tear their flesh. Unfortunately, Thermaltek has disappointed me with their power supplies because I have had issues with others that I have purchased. Now the power supply works, but it may work normally on another motherboard without the coil whine. It's just a matter of disappointment, so be careful when making your purchase. Of course, it's a rare case that may not be encountered by others, but it's an issue that we can't avoid, so be cautious with your purchases
I'm playing with the R9 290 trix OC, which requires a minimum power supply of 300w and a maximum of 600w. I also connected a card that required one 8-pin PCIe and one 6-pin PCIe, which came together in a 2-in-1 cable so they wouldn't be scattered. The CPU pin went in normally and didn't encounter any problems. The RGB lighting is in breath mode, which alternates colors or keeps a color steady. Very satisfied
I purchased it in August 2020. After 4 months of use, I have to say that I am very satisfied with its performance and quality. It has survived about 5 power outages without any issues. The only negative is that when the graphics card and processor are working at max load, it makes a bit of noise, but not at an annoying level. It works perfectly with the other components (i3 8100, gtx 1650s, gigabyte h310m h 2.0). I highly recommend it.
Edit**
After two and a half years of use, it makes a lot of noise without any programs running on the PC, indicating minimal power consumption. Another important thing is that in an evaluation conducted by experts in the field on almost all "known" power supplies, it has been placed in Tier F, which means an immediate replacement. Personally, apart from the noise, it has not caused me any other problems, which is why I gave it three stars.
This is the ranking I referred to and it is worth consulting before purchasing a power supply => https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/
The only negative thing is that after some hours of intense gaming, the power supply starts making a strange noise for about 15-20 seconds and then everything is fine again. (as if the fan is hitting something)
High-quality construction, with many connections and low noise. The combination of price, quality, and 5-year warranty satisfied me completely for my choice.
The best power supply I've seen for under 60 euros is 600 watts. The classic consumption needed for cards like the 1660, 5500, 570, 580, and 5600 is fine, but I recommend getting one with 700 watts so you can put even better cards in the future, like the 2070 and 5700. As a power supply, it's very good, with plenty of fabric-wrapped cables and all the cables you need, plus a 6-year warranty. Overall, it's a really good choice
Former owner of a simple chiftec without certification and with only 550W lasted 10 years and still works, so I will be a strict judge. First of all, the price... yes, it's perfect for so many watts (700) and such general characteristics. Secondly, what a cute design, it's not square, it has rounded corners, with RGB fans, with a slightly narrower design that would fit in some cases while this one fits comfortably. Thirdly... I hear about noise, etc. I don't understand anything because usually when you play that draws enough power, logically then it increases the speed... like everything else (processor, graphics card) so it doesn't sound at least to me! Fourth, too many connections for everything, nothing will be left in the air and you can use splitters, etc.
Of the negatives, the only thing you see at first glance is the cables, which are of perfect quality (thick and durable) but are like a huge octopus, so forget about perfect cable management, but for me it fell into place because they are black (slave), so it's also black inside the case and almost nothing is visible. The second thing you encounter at the end is the RGB (negligible but I have to mention it) which doesn't have an RGB cycle mode as I expected from the displayed purchase photo, the only thing it has is a breath mode of all colors, breath mode in one color only, steady in one color only, and completely off.
The system it now supports is quite heavy (around 500W so nothing for what it is 700W) but it's slightly warm or not at all when you play for a long time and I hope it doesn't have any issues and it's normal. Xeon e5 1680v2 oc (about 170W), 4 DDR3 RAM, 7 RGB fans, 2 mechanical disks, 1 SSD disk, 1 optical disk (DVD), and a powerful RX Vega 56 oc (300-350W).
I hope it never needs a warranty, I will be satisfied
I've had it for 2 years and haven't had any issues. It takes in air from the bottom side of the case where it has a filter, but still doesn't make any noise. The cables are sleeved black, but the edges are colorful. Personally, I only got it for the RGB, but if someone isn't interested in having RGB, I would recommend getting another one with an 80+ Gold rating or being modular, for example, things that this particular model doesn't have.
