Are these any good? Does anyone have any positive or negative experience with these?

Yeah they are good to be replaced

 

Never heard of that brand before

 

And PSU should not be trusted with experience, they need professional reviews

Definitely sounds like your house will need its power replaced after you use that PSU...

Maybe along with the rest of the house too, after it burns down.

They're cheaply-made garbage-tier PSUs, one of the brands that makes "OEM replacement" power supplies for nonstandard units. On a scale of one to forest fire, I'd put them somewhere near "unattended campfire surrounded by open cans of gasoline".

One good response and two "I don't know" responses.

Where does John Wick firefight fit in?

Utter crap.

Probably 300-400w max even if it says 775-800w

also number of connectors should tell you what they think it can do.. ex for your 775w psu:

 

Connectors: 1 x 20/24 pin, 4 x 4-Pin Molex, 1 x FDD, 4 x SATA, 1 x 8-PIN (4+4) EPS12V, 1 x 6+2 Pin PCI-e

 

When's the last time you saw a psu with a single pci-e 8 pin connector (150 watts max)? You often get 2 for 550-650w and 3-4 with 850w+

 

 

voltage select on back = no PFC , not or minimal input filtering, not even 80plus bronze eff. , ancient design

thin cables (probably awg20) and no sleeve on some to be cheaper

when's the last time you saw those generic warranty stickers on psu corners on anything quality?

I'm equally amused by the power distribution by rail. Quality PSUs (hell, even most shitty ones) will tell you how much of that 775W is going down each rail. This power supply, according to the pictures on Amazon, pushes 850W across all rails combined, with no specific breakdown. Two further huge red flags there: one, there's no indication how much power is supplied to each rail, and two, this 775W PSU is actually an 850W PSU...or they have the wrong pictures posted and God only knows what's going to show up on your doorstep.

Cool

It looks like it has LEDs. It also looks like a fire hazard.

Yeah, I am not getting it. I bit my tongue and bought a 600W EVGA model, I'll probably swap the internals with a blank shroud to get rid of the ugly EVGA everything.

Like I get it that some people don't get certain cases cause they are too gamer-y but EVGA...calm yo tiddies.
