Is this GameMax PSU good?

[Newblesse Obblige]

If found this PSU while browsing at my local online shopping site.

I never heard of the brand before. I just want to know if it is good or not

Don't worry, I won't buy it

I seem to remember GameMax PSUs were pretty dodgy. I seem to remember them being over-rated by 50-100w on the label.

 

But hey, they're a new manufacturer, so they may have improved. Their budget cases certainly aren't the worst on the market.

They've been around since 2001.

Oh really?

 

I first noticed their stuff a few years ago, so I just assumed they were new.

Judging by the specification I'm 99% sure it's group regulated, so it's only good for APUs.

In fairness he did a followup video where there seemed to be some evidence that unit was a counterfeit not actually made by GameMax?

 

If you were going to put somebody else's branding on your counterfeit PSU I frankly don't know why you would choose GameMax instead of a more "prestigious" brand though unless you think GameMax is just less likely to notice and do anything about it?

Exactly.  I doubt it's a counterfeit.
