How long is Aerocool PSU gonna last ?

NamBui · August 19, 2019

Currently i'm using:

+Aerocool Lux RGB 550W Bronze (https://www.aerocool.com.tw/en/psu/lux/lux-rgb-550w)

+ASUS STRIX GAMING 1060 6GB OC (Direct CU)

+ I5 9400F.

+ GSKILL Ripjaws 2800MHz 8GB 2x

+Tecware Nexus M case ( 3 case fans + 1 CPU fan )

+MSI B360m Bazooka

+LG IPS MP59 24Inch (75HZ)

I don't have much money so i choose a budget PSU like Aerocool , though it is bronze certified 230V EU + 3 years warranty. By the way, i live in Vietnam (ASIA).

I have gone through the PSU tier list on linustechtips , but i did not see Aerocool Lux RGB at tier A-B or Prebuilt Replacement,and it's bronze certified in EU,not ASIA.That makes me quite worry about the safety of my hold PC .

I play games 2-3 hrs/day on weekends with high settings but no Overclock settings. Just use default settings for my VGA. I also put my VGA on stress test by using FurMark (2hrs at 2560 ,1920 resolution)+ other CPU Stress Test (8 hrs) for 1 week and it seems eveything work fine .

I would appreciate if someone could give me advices on how long my PSU gonna last,reviews about Aerocool Lux Model PSU, or tips for maintaining it's efficiency for a long time (could be above 4 years)

Return it now. It's garbage.

It's terrible. And extremely sad too.

Imagine seeing this PSU in a store, in person. IMO it's actually really pretty. Then you open it up and see this...

This was a PSU disappointment of the year for me when I first saw it.

Tks for all of you guys replies. Seems it's a low-quality product. It's a pity that i'm on low budget now.Gotta wait for couple of months to earn a better new PSU and upgrade my VGA to RTX 2060 later.

I have done some research and found these 2 PSU . If you guys can, give me an advice me on which one to choose :

+FSP Hydro 600W Bronze: https://www.fsplifestyle.com/PROP163000554/

+CoolerMaster MWE 600W Bronze : https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/mwe-series/mwe-bronze-600/

My aim is at 600W. Both has approximately the same price i guess... Some of my friends said CoolerMaster is just normal branch.

I don't think i can afford a Seasonic PSU because they have very high price in my Country (VietNam),though i know about there quality is said to be number 1 in PSU Market.
