I can confirm this is a decent PSU. It's powered my 5600x, clocked RTX 2080super, 2xSSDs, 2xHDDs and plenty of RGB, with absolutely no issues, system was built on Dec 2020.
Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ! Under 40 notes !!! If its available then thats great but for this price (and weve seen you use a few of these before) I think its a great deal. Thanks for letting us know about this and all of the other products you bring to the channel.
I recently bought the non modular 700w version for £32 from Scan. Soak/ stress tested with typical system (Ryzen 5 3600, gtx1660s SSD, HDD and 4 fans) for 6 hours. No problems just slightly warm. We'll see how long it lasts but so far (2 months) no complaints.
Hi any updates on its use since you last installed it? I’ve read reviews for Corsair and Cooler master and have read issues of failing after a few weeks and some were DOA. Bad luck or just power of brand- no idea. Thanks
Power supply manufacturers often make different 80+ tier models of the same unit. Take Aerocool integrator as an example. You can find 80+ white and bronze units for around £5 difference. Or Cooler Master MWE range you can find all but silver rated (they may make them I have have just not seen them on the market like white to plats) with like the 600w as an example they will cross the whole range not just the 600w unit. The platform is often the same, same casing, circuit board, fan etc It can be as simple as using a better quality rectifier or filter caps or adding more or different technology inline resistors etc to make the small improvements needed to get it up to the next tier without changing the topography or circuit map of the model. Hope that helps
Hi Mike. I installed my new Gigabyte GP-P850GM 80 Plus Gold 850W fully Modular PSU. So far it's working like a charm. Cheers. Those cable are not short. My Gigabyte PSU has the same length cables and my case is 613mm tall.
@@PapaMav Kit Guru said, "Gigabyte had quite some time to release a new power supply line and it was a surprise that it chose to do so utilising the platform of a not so known manufacturer (MEIC). In the end this proved to be a good move though, since MEIC delivered a good product which is able to meet the performance of formidable competitors such as the Aerocool ACP-850FP7 and the Corsair HX850."
Your actually one of few people who knows about this brand in the tech review space and if someone does know them they know them for their cases when there powersupplys are pretty good
Woah. Today I learned that British white PSU = American bronze PSU. I already own this PSU, you might remember me talking about the 500w PSU version of this haha. And it's working great still, but I eventually want RTX so I may go for this PSU, not sure if it will be semi modular version though.
Mixed views on Aerocool, my friend has a 600w intergrator unit, and its ran there R5 1400/RX 580 8GB Red Devil fine, however the unit in this review, couldnt handle a RX 570 4GB Saphire ITX card with a R3 3100, so yeah. I swapped it for a 600w EVGA unit, as used them for years and never once had an issue.
I have this PSU and I am wondering if it has 1 x 8 or 2 x 8 for the GPU? thanks I have this with a 2060 super and was thinking of getting a 7800 xt but it I am not sure if this PSU is enough for that or I have to settle for a 4070 which has a single 8 pin connector
had to use warranty with my Aerocool 700W and thats where i find out that they all are crap made from crappy components. there are videos of miners that used a lot of PSUs and Aerocool died like flies. and their efficiency isn't even close to what Aerocool claims. it will work with energy efficient systems that work @ stock, but i'd never would recommend Aerocool crap to anyone now. in PC building space Aerocool PSUs are no go, only total noobs use them.
linustechtips.com/topic/581167-what-so-bad-about-aerocool-psus/ Aerocool PSUs are worth their price. Considering that by buying one it only costs like $40 to teach the lesson not to buy Aerocool PSUs ever again. If you hired a specialist to explain it in a classroom with slides and notes and hours of talking, you'd end up paying in the order of hundreds or thousands of dollars. It's a good deal! There are too many differences between models to give an educated and specific overview but to my experience (never bought myself but worked as an RMA handler) the issues revolve around the same issues as they usually do. They don't deliver the power they promise to begin with. They overheat easily. They have huge jitter and droop under load. And surprisingly often they don't support the new Intel specifications. The power consumption under sleep mode drops so low that the PSU assumes there's an undervotage issue and shuts itself down which crashes windows while it sleeps making it difficult to restart.

Hi mike great review as always. Just a word of warning to new builders, I would not recommend paying cheap money on any power supply, Like many, I've been there and done that and in the long run, It cost's more having to replace the whole computer minus case. Aerocool are at the budget end of pc components and their build quality and internal components are questionable, to say the least, Remember if this goes bang you have killed your motherboard and everything attached to it most likley. I personly go Seasonic gold+ every time just for the peace of mind of proven quality and the 10yr guarantee.
personally i think i have only had some really horrible psu go bang and of those not a single one took out any components with it, and i used to do this for a living over a long period and some of the customer machines had truly disgusting psu.
Built a pc with one of these ,3300x gtx1660 ,perfect for a build like that would get another one, agree with all you said ,not great for eatx case some cables are a bit short for that,

that should be okay the 170w 3060 should have double on tap so around 340w and the 1070 won't draw over 300w so that should work out okay. Ideally get the best PSU you can afford, but this will do the job on a budget
