Apevia SFX-AP500W Mini ITX Solution/Micro ATX/SFX 500W Power Supply | SFX Form Factor, 80mm Auto Thermal Fan, 500W SFX Power Supply, Sleeved PSU Cables, Heavy Duty Protections

Not much to say. Great value, hasn't caused an issue. I wish the fan was a bit quieter, but I can't complain too much. Gets 50% efficiently at low usage, but that's common among power supplies. Cords are a bit cheap, but what can you expect.I wouldn't trust it with super mission critical data or pushing 500 watts, but its amazing at what it does for cheap.

Works great - not as noisy as other reviewers say (of course that can be just reviews getting aggregated) but worked perfectly. FYI - no 6-pin for higher end video cards - had to get an adapter to get the extra power - of course if you're building a higher end system the power capability might not give you what you need here -- but the price is right and the quality is as expected.

the first one I received had a fault somewhere that made it only output around 9v on the 12v rail so tbe system wouldn't post, I tried with a difrent non sfx supply and everything worked fine, I also tried this psu on a difrent system and still low voltage and no post, so I put in for a replacement because this was the only psu in this formfactor avalible in this price range so it was that simple, could I have shelled out for a stupidly expensive gold sfx from Silverstone or seasonic or corsair or cooler master, yes, did I want to literly put as much into tbe psu of this little usff server build as the rest of the build costs or close to it... absolutely not, so I put in for a replacement and Amazon being Amazon was absolutely on it and had me a replacement at my doorstep with 3days and the new one works fine, it's not the best and the little fan that could realy works up a sweet trying to tame a ~300watt load but hay I didn't expect much for less than $40 and it's stable, it passes a aggressively unfair stress test with no perceptible voltage drop on any rail, and when I'm not taking it to a blacksite torture chamber and just using it under regular loads it absolutely stands on it own feet, damn site better than the pico psu it replaced...to be fair that pico was rated for 300w and I'm pushing a 5600 with a slight OC and a rtx 4060 LP but in reality that should be more than around 200watts so idk it just struggled to deliver a stable voltage even while being pushed via 12v off a 1200watt hp ProLiant Via a mining breakout that is more than capable of delivering the requisite currents for almost a dozen other devices using either 12v like switches and routers and a firewall and a couple asrock deskminis via a beefy marine 12v to 19v boost converter, idk I guess the inductors on the pico were cheap or maybe the guage of wire from the 12v supply was to thin idk it probebly should have only been rated for a buck fity but hay in no matter now cuz this unjustifiably cheap sfx psu has replaiced it and now I can reliably power a array of 8 3.5in hdds in this server finaly lol...no this is not long term cold storage that I'm fooling myself with being acceptably safe with this ultra cheap psu no this a 8 fairly fast big enterprise HDDs in a complicated and admittedly conveluted lvm array with nvme pcie 4.0 caching that I can read and write to ad a clip capable of fully saturating a 10gb full duplex link... and for that purpose this little budget server that could...realy realy can lol

Needed this for a super budget SFF itx am4 3600 build with 3200mhz ddr4 and a old 3060ti. Something small, portable and can game. I know there's a mathematical way to predict how many watts you need. 500w seemed slim to me for what it was going to power. I took a chance on this. For only $36 I wasn't really expecting this to pull through. To my surprise no problems at all. Have gamed on this PC for hours no issue at all. Don't expect miracles if you have high performance parts, but if its a low power pc build this should do the trick, fantastic price as well.👌👍

I prefer to build ITX pc systems, so I am always looking for a good value power supply. While Apevia does make some rather cheap products, their power supplies have always been a good buy for me. I was putting together a system with an Intel i7-7700k, Nvidia GTX 1080 and all sorts of fancy rgb so I was looking for a power supply that could handle that at a decent price. I have 3 of these currently running systems with no issues. After overclocking and stress testing I saw a max power draw of 483 watts and the power supply handled it with no issues whatsoever. If you're looking for a good quality psu you really can't go wrong with this one.

The fan started making loud, grinding noise after 18 months. It was exceptionally easy to replace with a same-size computer fan (80mmx15mm), and this PSU is still the best SFX value around even after that.

I bought this Apevia SFX-AP500W power supply to replace a 250-Watt power supply that came with one of my Mini-ITX cases. My original 250-watt power supply was not sufficient to handle USB 3.0 devices I plugged in, so I needed a more powerful one. I tested the power supply before installing it and all voltages were shown as within tolerance except for the 5VSB. The power supply tester showed the 5VSB was 5.3 volts. I used a digital multimeter to further test the output on a specific pin on the 24-pin connector (for the 5VSB). It read 5.21 volts which was near but not over the +5% upper tolerance of 5.25 volts, so I installed the power supply. I had concerns about the fan due to what others have posted. The fan is quiet, as is a previous purchase of this same power supply I bought for another machine back in May of last year, so hopefully they will stay that way. The power supply appears to be well made, at least from outside appearance.I gave this power supply an overall rating 3 out of 5 for two reasons. One was the 5VSB voltage being very near out of tolerance, and the other was due to an apparent lack of warranty. Amazon shows the power supply can be returned within 30 days, but refers you to the manufacturer's web page regarding the warranty. I went to the manufacturer's web site and looked up this power supply and found a tech support number but no information about a warranty, nor did the specifications card that came in the box mention a warranty. I did not call the tech support number to find out, so I can't really state it has no warranty, but if this is important to you, you may want to find out. I consider this power supply to be suitable for an inexpensive, somewhat low power system build, but after looking at some of the other reviews, would be leery of installing it in a high-end build.

The quality isn't there. But if you on a tight budget and need a PSU to tide you over till you can afford another, it will work. Till it doesn't.This is the second time I ever used an Apevia PSU. The first Apevia I ever used was back in mid 2000s. Apevia Java Power 500w ATX. Needed a PSU with a PCIe power cord and a 4 pin CPU cord. It ran well for over a year. Then one day, I went to turn the PC on, nothing happened. Eventually, I swapped PSU and found it was the PSU itself. So.....that's been my experience with them. Only good thing is the box....still have it, using it to store components for my GameCube.So far it works. Upgraded my old itx case that came with a seasonic 300w sfx PSU. That unit is a trooper and still works. Just, upgraded the internals from a AMD A10 system to a Ryzen 7 5700G system. PC is mainly a HTPC. This Apevia comes with the needed available watts and 8 pin CPU plug I need. The last part, the old seasonic only came with the old 4 pin CPU plug. This unit also comes with a PCIe 8 pin, which is good for a low profile video card. Though I am not going to use one. Cords are easier to work with. Which is better than the old seasonic. Case is super tight with little room for low profile heatsink due to the DVD ROM located just above it.Anyway, been using it for nearly a month. Works well. No problems so far. Fan does whine louder than the rest of the fans in the system during high load. Like I said, PSU is good for a quick fix on a tight budget. Though, save up for a better one. I plan to replace it once it fizzles out. If I get a year or more, I'll get my money's worth. I am mentally prepared this time, so I'll be ready."Might update if things changes."Dec 2025Been more than a year, and this PSU working well. I am on the machine with this PSU now. Granted, I this and everything that was in my old case into a new case. A SilverStone SG05BB-LITE-x. So there's a bit more room for things to breath while still taking up a small foot print. In either case, it ran quiet. I been quite happy with this. I still would be cautious with this. But I am at the point that I forget it's in here. Only reason I remembered is I passed by this listing on here and remembered. SO I figured I would update on this.Granted, still need to see if this last two years. But if you have not heard from me by Feb 2026, then this is working swell still.

خربان!!!

For SFX hard to beat at the price offered so buy on sale so far so good quality wise.

Excelente fuente de buena calidad para equipos con gabinetes compactos o Slim.

Not working when arrived. The seller also refunded only half of my payment. Becareful with Jetsouq seller.
