    Hey Zach! Thanks for the review. Just a couple of notes we had but overall appreciate the feedback.
    Our cost for the Ryzen 5 5600G systems that you reviewed is $648.18. Sadly, we don't have all the connections we want yet to make our systems more affordable. This is something we have spent a lot of R&D on and hope to bring the price down even more this year.
    With our $50 off promo right now, we are only profiting $100, and that is before paying our employees well above minimum wage.
    Regarding Aresgame power supplies. We appreciate the feedback and will take it into consideration for our lower end PC's. We have shipped and built around a thousand systems with this power supply and have had a total of two go bad and it was DOA. But again, we will look into options to improve on this!
    We definitely give you props for the builds you sell on your site! We hope to keep working on building those connections and offer better pricing.
    Oh and we decided to create code ZTT10 for 10% off all our builds for the next two days.

    Fair review. In my opinion it would have been better without plugging your own company. Don't get me wrong, I'm an entrepreneur and I understand, but that turned it from an honest and fair review to almost a hater review to build your own company. No disrespect because again I understand why you did that, but it would have made for a better review to me if you didn't.

    I don't think you can fairly call that PSU a fire hazard for being on the list when it is in a section that says it may just be there isn't enough info on it. Considering they are willing to support it with warranty and have a lot of experience with it, I would think they have good faith in it, otherwise their support costs would go through the roof. Also, not fair to assume they are getting better than retail pricing when they are a small SI.

    I have used my Aresgame 500w power supply very frequently in two different builds since i got it in January of 2021. I can't exactly say its perfectly safe, because I've always used below 400w systems with it (rx 570 + i5 4570, and then rx 570 + i3 10100f,) but it hasn't given me a single problem in all the time I've had it.

    Fair review. Little harsh on the power supply. I purchased like 20 of these for builds. No issues. But I'd rather see a 650w psu or better for the customers eventual gpu upgrade. 500w is a little low for mid range gpu's.

To be honest, you haven't made an argument that this review wasn't honest, other than him comparing the build to the only thing he had personal knowledge of.

    I appreciate the review and the details you gave on the parts. I definitely like that you touched on the power supply a bit, and I totally get why you didn't obsess over it, _but_ I thought I'd give a bit more information on what group regulation means, for anyone interested:
    To explain this, we'll have to talk about what a power supply in a PC does. The power that comes from your wall is not consistent enough to be used in a computer (it's AC, if you want to look into that further.) A power supply must convert it into power that your system can use (DC.) A power supply outputs power in 3 voltages: 12V, 5V, and 3.3V. 12V is what will be used the most; your CPU and GPU both draw from it. Modern systems will often draw several hundred watts from this rail. The other rails are referred to as the minor rails, powering things like RAM, storage, and sometimes lighting. Since going from 1.4V to 1.9V to the CPU is usually enough to kill it, it's important that these "rails" stay consistent. As such, these should be regulated separately, ideally. In most modern power supplies, this is the case; good units typically use what's called DC-DC, where it will convert the input power to 12V, then convert the 12V to 5V and 3.3V as needed with buck converters.
    This is where group regulation becomes a problem. With group regulation, 5V and 12V are regulated on the same coil. If power draw becomes substantially different on 5V compared to 12V, regulation will start to fail since the PSU has to switch between 5V and 12V constantly. Ohn's law states that power is equal to the product of current and voltage. So if 5V and 12V are outputting different enough wattages (power,) and the PSU can't keep up, then the 12V rail starts to output a voltage lower than 12V, with 5V outputting higher than 5V. In modern systems, it's not uncommon for hundreds of watts to be drawn from the 12V rail, with under 100 combined being drawn by the other rails. This is why group regulation is a problem for modern systems.
    The AGV500 might not be a huge issue with a 5600G alone, but when the buyer adds a dGPU down the line, that's when it can present problems. And, of course, just untested protections.

      I think this is important information. Tier E PSUs can be bad but it depends of what will you do with that PC. I got my brother a Xigmatec Zpower because I couldnt afford any other PSU and it does good on the system because its an iGPU.

    Hey Zach I follow both you guys and I do agree that some of the Toasty Bros builds aren't nearly as nice as yours for sure with aesthetics but they tend to focus on more of what you can afford and do put the Costa of the builds on the channel. Most for the builds are done on TH-cam as well so it may very well be that it's just more costly for then to build where they are. That being said I mean Amazon and eBay do have very good deals as well as Newegg so it's something for them to consider.

    Okay, so I finally listened to the whole thing. Rather than changing my previous assessment, it simple reinforced it and magnified it. This is, IMO, bad form. This is not simply a review as you describe it. You repeatedly boost your builds and your company by comparing it to the TBs PC. Basically, "I do it better, so buy from me, not from them". That may not be how you intended it, but that's how I read it. They may be a larger builder than you are, but that doesn't excuse this sort of "take down" video. Yeah, I know, you don't want it seen that way, and it's softer and a bit subtler, but my assessment is still that it comes across as an attempt to bolster your own business at the cost of a "competitor". And that competitor is run by "people you know" and is still a fellow YTer and not some big corporation. Despite their gracious reply, this leaves a very bad impression for me. Can't judge your motivation, but the presentation is at least questionable in my view. All your caveats and disclaimers at the beginning speak for themselves in this regard.

    i hate when cables are excesivly zip tied or routed together. if the power supply ever needs to be changed or the case gets damaged and needs to be replaced its a pain in the butt to cut zip ties that are tight and not cut the wires they are holding together. if its got a front windwos, make the inside look nice, but the backside, thats not visable, who cares really. out of sight out of mind. saves a lot of time as well!!!!!!!

    Calling out their use of PSU when you used a even lower wattage one for your is insane, using a b450 board with PCIe 3 instead of PCIe4 board, and at least they list the company their ram is from and not just a generic "2x8GB DDR4 3600 MHz". To each their own, and if you really want to review just review. Plugging your own shit every other minute waters down the whole video. Good for Toastybros for actually giving a professional response to this.

  • @chadmcquade3075

    That PSU being called a fire hazard is a bit much. I have built with 3 of those PSU all 3 for my kids an all 3 have 3060s on them for over a year with zero issues thermally and otherwise.. I also believe that PSU is on that tier list because it was never tested I could be wrong though I have watched reviews for that PSU is taking apart and it's pretty sound really no better quality than the EVGA BR... But all that being said love your channel keep doing great things

    Fragile sticker on every corner. Nice. However, as a courier, albeit about change jobs, I can attest that we don’t have time to take care of fragile boxes. They get shoved into wherever they fit with whatever force is needed to make them fit and often time get tossed in from several feet away. My coworkers are very much in the mode of this needs to get done or fall behind and never have time for a pee break. I personally try to take notice of fragile boxes and set them aside in a specific location during load out, even though the boss man has a tendency to get annoyed walk over and start tossing them in himself. His answer is, “it is in a box and protected, it is fine!”

    you can cheap out on a lot of things but never the power supply. thats the one thing that, if it fails, it can and will fry everything else.
    cheap out on anything else and you are only out that one component if it fails vs cheaping out on one component and loosing everything in the build if you are lucky and it doesn't take the house out with it when it fails.

Mind you I also can build my own PSU as well using all the same grade parts as EVGA, SEASONIC and ECT. It doesn't mean it won't fault, BUT I love how he thinks he has an electrical engineering degree to know just how well a PSU is built and to what standards where I have my own PSU that I designed waiting UL and EnergyStar Approval. Might I also point out just how much USED parts you also use in your builds over the NEW parts they use in their builds. If I lived where you did I'm sure I could make you look like over priced too.

    Not much of a fan of toasty bros, but I'm also going to be fair with your criticisms.
    1) Price changes all the time, so tb coulda bought their parts for higher cost.
    2) You went on too hard on the psu. Does the tier really determines how much of a fire hazard the unit is?
    3) Your $750 recommendation is hard to recreate due to gpu prices.

      The cheap PSU was the only thing Zach could pick apart and he did it way too much with wild accusations of how dangerous a Tier E PSU is but it's simply not the case. It's not necessarily a bad PSU as the Tier list is based on price point, efficiency and overall performance, which doesn't mean there is any danger in using the PSU, just that the equation of price/efficiency/performance may not be very good.

    Getting a "decent" power supply is like putting questionable engine oil into your car. Sure, it might be fine up front but in the long run it might not be the safest option. I do understand the price is exceptional for what you get but I must agree with Zach here, a PSU from a reputable brand really secures an entire PC build as its a complete asset for the rest of the system.

    It's good to be an informed consumer and we appreciate the general idea of saving money. But, it's never going to be completely objective when you have a competing "product". So just call it what it is, McDonald's and Burger King have been doing it forever, marketing to turn people to your own competing "products". It may have been better, since you know them personally, to send them some productive, non-public, feedback instead to potentially fix the issues you have with their process/products. Not everyone needs the level of video that Nexus has done for "The Egg".

    The whole HDMI thing confuses me for two reasons. Firstly, if you know you are getting a descrete in your build, why would you not plug the HDMI into that? Secondly, because even though I have a discreet graphics car and use that, my motherboard HDMI works as well. It was the same on my ancient PC that I owned years ago (not HDMI but still display output). Surely the onboard display ports would still be active unless you have purposely disabled them? It's great to have both working as when I want to plug my TV into my PC I dont have to mess about unplugging my monitor and can have it run both at the same time.
