How reliable is the PSU & does anybody know the name of the psu?
247001
Not sure of the name brand, but it has been reliable. It has been running almost 6 months non stop. It has been great only issue with the case is the Mic input on the front doesn't work but that could be software on my part. Back input works fine.

I would NOT buy this if it's NOT sitting in datacenter. TOO LOUD PSU. Buy a quiter if you need this box.

there is no name on the PSU. Someone may know but when i bought it, my PSU came DOA. I had to send the whole case back, and ended up buying a different one. If you are buying it for the PSU and case together, I would reccomend another case, because this PSU is not reliable and I have heard that it has even caught on fire for some people. I bought an Imicro MATX case/psu combo and it has worked faithfully for 6 months.I would add that if you just want the case it is a great pickup for the price. Large, sturdy, roomy inside. Swap out the PSU and it is a good case. For a PSU and case combo go elsewhere. there is no name on the PSU. Someone may know but when i bought it, my PSU came DOA.

My PSU burned up when I turned it on for the first time. It's not a brand-name unit.

I've had mine for 3 months now, has done everything asked of it, I have all the connections in use and it works just fine.

I believe the power supply is made by Logisys, but I don't have the unit here where I can examine it to confirm. Others have reported problems with the PSU, but I haven't had any issues yet. I'm only using my system occasionally so it hasn't been stressed hard yet. I figure if it does go out, I can replace it easily so it was a non-issue for me. Still the cheapest price on a tower case that I could find.

The PSU is a Logisys brand PSU, it doesnt have a model number listed on it. As for reliability its a decent PSU it has basically what you need, if you want more cable options I would buy a different PSU then.

The psu is fine for any low power processor that only uses a 4 pin 12v atx power connector. it also doesn't have any 6 pin pci connectors. as far as reliability, i wouldn't trust it for more than a few weeks. Go with a corsair CX500 or CX600 for a basic computer.

I've been using it for awhile now with no issues. I've not seen or found anything myself while using this power supply to suggest it isn't compatible with this core setup. Had a friend who is A+ cert as well as a MSCE cert help me pick it out for my PC. Hope this helps!

I dont believe it plugs right into the PSU but it does recommend a 330w power supply which could cause the card to short out earlier in its life. It should be fine but You never know. It's a decent video card too.

I would try and do some more research on it and maybe give the company a call I'm sure they could give you a definite answer before making the purchase. But the lights in the psu are a nice touch and look great in my case. Hope I've been of some help.

I have something made by mini-box. It's a 200W pico-psu. It works. I have had some issues with my computer though. I can't be certain if it is power related but it could be. Personally, I do not like this case. The power button broke in two days. The face plate is the cheapest plastic imaginable. I'm going to sell my whole system and build a new one.

I'd say go with a name-brand 300+ watt one to be safe. Like EVGA, Antec, or Corsair. It's best to make sure that the wattage listed is CONTINUOUS wattage, not max or peak wattage. Legitimate PSU suppliers will list the continuous rating. It's why a cheap Antec VP-450 will outperform several "500w" or greater PSU's. If you want a cheap supply, I recommend it, as it's usually around $35 or less with prime shipping included. The VP-450 is rated for 450 watts of continuous power ALL the time. I've personally used that PSU with up to an R9 270x, and it should also work with an Nvidia 760 or 960 as well. It should be more than sufficient for just an A10 APU.

Get a larger one such as 1000 +, that will give you enough for later add-ons. Don't scrimp on the PSU at all. Over worked PSU's are not good.

I believe it will work but not a very dependable power supply. My failed as soon as warranty was up. I would buy Corsair, Thermaltake or CoolMaster.

I'm running it with 0 issues on a 700W 80++ Platinum Certified PSU so I would think u should be fine, although I would see if your PSU is certified because that will make a large difference.

Rosewill makes a decent psu. With that basic setup you should do well. Especially if you have it on a surge protection, that will extend it's life possibly. I've had good psus die within a year and cheap ones last years. It is a gamble half the time, but since you won't be loading it much and if you get a surge protection then it should be just fine.

Not a question, but I'll try to offer my take on these things. I have had four Thermaltake Power supplies, in 500 to 650 watts. Only one failed, but no fans. It was the little tickle current that allowed it to start. I sent it back with all its paperwork and a description of the problem. They promptly sent me a new one, in its own box. Thermaltake Power isn't cheap, but their quality and service are unmatched. I've used nothing else for about five years. Good luck.

No it's not "that" good. People are just buying PSU with higher wattages than they needed then reviewing them far too early in the product lifespan. Many of the junk PSU will run for a year or two before failure. There are many choices that are equivalent in the same price range, but of course finding a sale and/or rebate is always the best bet for a good quality:price ratio.

Technically, it should be higher, but it may still work well. There was some sort of incompatibilty between my card and PC (wasn't able to determine the cause), so I traded with a friend. He's now running it on a higher-end medium performance pc with only a 350w psu and it's working perfectly for him. Granted, he only buys high quality brand psu.

I also had this problem and after I replaced the PSU with a Corsair Builder Series CX 600w it hasn't happened once.If you read some reviews about that stock Lepo PSU here and on Newegg you'll see people say it actually only maxes around 450w and has a surge protection feature that shuts itself down if it's voltage levels get too high or low. Nice feature I guess but I would prefer it actually just supply more reliable voltage levels.

Hmmm... When I upgraded the PSU, I believe it was around 250 watts or a bit less than that. For sure, it wasn't over 250 watts.

It would work. That's if they send you a PSU that actually turns on. The one I got didn't work. Sent it back and bought another brand.

My power supply is similar and I have been using it for about a year now with no issues. I also use dual monitors. I'd at least try it out.
