No matter how much we praise the products of Seasonic, Corsair and Be Quiet, advanced power supplies with gold and platinum certificates remain the prerogative of enthusiasts and very demanding users. Most people are simply not ready to give a third of the low-cost for a banal power source. In such cases, people's Deepcool Nova and Aurora power supplies usually pop up in the conversation, which have been among the top 10 most popular power supplies on the market for the past 5-6 years.


The secret of success lies in the fact that Deepcool engineers managed to achieve a fairly high quality and reliability of their products without sacrificing price. For example, the 500-watt version of the Aurora PSU will cost a potential buyer a little less than $40. In fact, this is almost the most affordable 500-watt "bronze" model on the market. Competing options are either slightly more expensive, or significantly more expensive. For the 700W version of Deepcool Aurora, you will have to pay another $20. And, again, it will be almost the most affordable solution that can only be found on the market.

What will a potential buyer get for this money? He will receive a high-quality assembled unit based on proven circuitry, which provides an honest efficiency of around 85% and has an efficiency rating of 80+ Bronze. It also boasts an active PFC and a relatively quiet cooling system, which makes itself felt only at peak loads. However, the most important thing here is the overall high build quality and the use of proven circuitry, thanks to which the user does not need to worry about the safety of the system in the event of a breakdown or failure of the power supply.

Judging by the owners' reviews, the 700-watt Aurora model can easily provide power to two performant video adapters and a voracious Core i7 in overclocking.
