Gold for the people
The GM-500 from Gamemax is one of the most affordable PSUs with 80+ Gold certification. According to the passport, it boasts a serious efficiency of 90%, in real tests in the range of loads typical for this power supply (100 – 300 W), the energy efficiency slightly sags and stays in the range of 87 – 85%. Given the price of $ 60, you can close your eyes to a slightly overestimated efficiency. Moreover, for this money, its only competitor is the strong, but not flawless Chieftec Core.
High quality
All this makes you scratch your head thoughtfully, because offhand it's hard to say what exactly they saved on here .. There are no complaints about the build quality either. The body panels, although not the thickest, are not made of "foil" either. Yes, and he looks great. Although, this is a matter of secondary importance. Despite the use of fairly simple circuitry, the model is equipped with all the necessary nodes: an EMI filter, an APFC module and support for a number of protections are in place. Explicit savings are only observed in the use of Taiwanese and Chinese capacitors, the quality of which raises big questions.
Semi-modular structure
In addition, the GM-500G has a good system for filtering output ripples, a well-thought-out semi-modular structure (detachable wires are made in the form of flexible cables), as well as a sufficient number of connectors for connecting peripherals (5 SATA, 3 Molex), which with equal success allows you to use it and in mid-range gaming PCs, and in regular office computers. Although, in the latter case, it would be wiser to save a little and take a simplified and less powerful version without a Gold Plus certificate.
