Apevia ITX-PFC500W Mini ITX/Flex ATX / 1U 500W Fully Modular Power Supply, Full Range Active PFC 90-264V, AC for POS AIO System Desktop Gaming Server Small Form Factor (Flex ITX) Computer PSU

Solid little psu. I have mine in a Jonsbo NV10 office PC and it works perfectly. The fan while not loud is certainly audible and I would not recommend using it in a gaming PC unless you upgrade it with a Noctua.

I have bought 2 of these now and has been running 2 of my mini servers full time without issues. One of them has 4 hard drives attached and has no issues. I was skeptical at first but I am very impressed. There’s only a small tiny fan cooling it, it is a little warm to the touch but it’s quiet and doesn’t seem to get hot enough to cause issues.

The fan was constantly on while plugged in, which is just a mild complaint but within a month or so of using it, it's started just not deciding to work sometimes. I'll plug it in and get no power, trying multiple fixes to no avail but then several days later it'll be fine again. It gets rather loud too when it heats up, and it can get quite hot. Cables aren't what I'd call long but they weren't the shortest cables I'd worked with. I don't know if I just got a bad unit but the build quality seemed iffy at best. I'd avoid and go with a more premium option.

Only running the motherboard now, plan to add GPU later. Probably pulling around 150watts and this thing gets pretty warm. I haven’t smelled any burning electronics and it’s been working under different loads for a week now without issue. The power connectors are an extremely tight fit on the board, other 24pin connectors aren’t as tight fitting as these. It heats my SFF case up quite a bit. It’s definitely a hot running unit and I’m not running much power on it. But it’s working for now. Good enough until I get something better.

No issues during installation and works as expected. Would recommend

It powers my pc with no issues. I am very happy with this PSU, it saved me from having to buy a janky pico power suppy and then have an external power brick, which is less than ideal. I really like that its modular, less cables if you dont need them. The fan is quiet enough, tho i did switch it for a noctua one (because why not). The only thing i dont like is that theres no efficiency info, and thats something i always appreciate having. But overall, its a decent price for the size and build quality, I would recommend.

Upgrade sff psu. Installed in an Optiplex 7040. Took some modification to the case, but who cares. Ditch the factory psu and put in a respectable gpu

After reading all the negative reviews about this PSU, I was uncertain about ordering one for my mini ITX build. However, it has been solid for a week. No smoke, no sparks. The voltages are stable. I am running an Intel I7-3770S on a Gigabyte ITX mainboard, with 8 GB of RAM and a PNY 250 GB SSD. I am using Linux Mint LMDE 6 for the OS. I like the modularity and the cable length was manageable. I can't predict long term reliability, but so far I am satisfied for the price I paid for this Apevia PSU.
