ARESGAME 1000W Power Supply 80 Plus Gold Certified Fully Modular PSU

What good is a review without some context? So, I've been building my own computers for 20 years. This power supply was purchased for a new build. It's nothing really power hungry, ASRock phantom 4 B550 Pro, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, only using a nvme drive and 16 gigs of ram. So I'm not really putting it through the paces. Currently using a GPU with no power cord needed, but will definitely be adding something beefier very soon. There's plenty left of the 650w for a video card, though. I will update the review if I run into any issues.Power supplies are not really easy to review without proper testing equipment, but here's my experience with this one. It fit right into my case (PS on the bottom if that matters to anyone), it powers everything I need it to, which isn't saying much right now. It is very quiet. In my experience, heavier power supplies seem to be better quality. This has a pretty good weight to it considering the amount of the casing that is open for ventilation. Time will tell about durability and stability, but I have not seen anything to indicate there might be a problem.The one thing I really don't like is that the cables are a ribbon style instead of round. I'm pretty OCD about cable management, and the flat cables don't like to stay where you put them. Also, I'm using a mid tower and they are long enough to reach everything, but not quite long enough to route and zip tie them around the edges of the motherboard when using the connectors closest to the PS, Not a big deal. If you are building with a mini tower and/or not using a full ATX motherboard, you won't experience this at all.

I bought a video card and needed a new PS to power it because the stock didn't have the 6 pin. I opened the box to discover the included test connector. I have never had a ps include one before and definitely appreciate that. I've bought new PS's before and installed to find they are defective. It was nice to be able to test this before installing it. The test pin proved the ps worked before install. It had every connector that I needed and then some. I plan to upgrade my CPU and mobo in the future and wanted to make sure that I had extra connectors that I may need. The ps Definitely has all that I need for my current mobo and any future one I want to install.

When I build computers, I generally stick with more expensive Corsair power supplies and Thermaltake for more affordable ones, but this time I decided to take a chance and check out this power supply. Before purchasing this power supply, I was completely unfamiliar with ARESGAME. After buying their 650W power supply for the first time, here are some things I can say about the build quality and accessories of the supply. This review is the starting point of the supply life, it will be updated as it gets used.Some immediate observations:- Very nice packaging, it even has a handle- Solid metal construction, doesn't feel like the garbage APEVIA PSUs- Very nice black power cables, they look like high quality cables- Includes a PSU tester! I've never seen a company include this before!- Powers on, what more can I say?- Bronze CertifiedCompared to other PSUs at the same pricepoint: EVGA or Thermaltake, this PSU definitely has a better look and feel to it (definitely better accessories). Only time will tell if it can last. I will be updating this review if something worth noting happens (or if it survives the times).

I bought this to replace an aging PSU in a 2015 Dell XPS 8700. The size (Dimensions) was a Direct replacement for the old OEM 460 watt.This came with an 8 pin and another 8 pin (4+4) eps CPU connector. My Old Dell OEM MB uses a single 4 pin, so I was able to split the 8 pin and plug in the 4 to the MB. Then this has a modern PCIe 8 pin (6+2)(2 on same line) for video cards. so if you need a 6 pin, then just split off the 2 pin to make a 6. if you need the 8 the don't do anything and plug it in. It also has plenty of sata connectors and even a few OLD 4 pin molex connectors for older connections. Though I did not nor will I use the 4 pin molex, but it is nice to know they are there if I need them.The cables are a solid black color. NO ketchup and mustard colors here! They are lengthy cables make it easy to reach different layouts. Though my MB is a Mini ATX so they are very long for me. This makes cable management difficult. But that is not the fault of the PSU but one of my oem case.As for the Fan I cannot hear it so it is very quiet. The PSU comes with a sperate switch so I do NOT have to rely on the case power button to make sure its off. This also allows me to leave it plugged in for a ground and still drain the system of power. then I can connect my anti static bracelet and not worry about static buildup while I am working on the PC. I VERY MUCH appreciated item on an inexpensive unit.The unit came with a tester which really is just to see if it turns on, thats really it. I didn't expect it at all so it was nice to have it included in the box.As for longevity I cannot speak of because I have only had it installed for a week, but so far no issues. I will update if I have any.In conclusion, I was very worried about a brand that I have never heard of but So far I am loving it. A lot of nice touches for a lower end inexpensive psu. I am very happy with my purchase.P.S. A previous reviewer said that this will NOT work in older dell computers. I do not know which Dell he was trying to put it into or how old the system was, but for my 2015 8700 XPS, it fits and works perfectly.

Bought to replace a failed Jeantech PSU, this is a really nice, quiet and well made replacement, with a very good selection of plugs and cable lengths, without the complication and cost of integrated. A lot of PSU's seem to not bother with Molex any more, or don't even bother to list connectors and cable lengths.I liked this because the price is good and it has a full house of different connectors (shown in one of the listing pics), and it's difficult to imagine any machine it wouldn't work with. No issues using it in my midi-tower case, which takes a bottom mounted PSU. It's definitely the quietest fan of any PSU I have owned.Lifespan is unknown at 2 weeks old, of course but the quality and stability look promising. Mostly I have used Corsair in the past, but they seem to have become both more expensive and less reliable. I would now buy another Aresgame with some confidence.EDIT: still impressed with Aresgame. I've since recommended and installed 2 in client's machines, and bought another one myself. Absolutely no issues with any of them.

I purchased this to replace my husbands broken power supply for his computer, and this one is so much better, works exactly as it should and cant hear it at all (which is a massive improvement on his old noisy one), he found it very easy to install in his computer, and is very happy to be able to use his computer again, delivered very quickly, exactly as described. Its not the cheapest power supply available, but we wanted something that would last, and this looks promising so far.

This product was purchased as a replacement power supply unit. It was provided in a sturdy illustrated box and inside a bubble wrap sleeve. Practically it is more powerful and quieter than its predecessor, has more than enough cables for my purposes. Any superfluous cables were tidied with a single cable tie (4 provided for more fastidious cable management for those who require it). The manual is well published on a single sheet fold-out, mainly pictorial but text is provided below the pictures in both English and German. You can test the unit (fan start up) before installation using the test clip provided in the box.

I wanted a decent power supply but without paying exaggerated prices. This ARESGAME AGV650 fitted the bill. When it arrived the packaging and instructions as well as the tester plug really impressed. There is more thought gone into this product than I have found with similar but more expensive Big name psu's. This is a very good buy.

This is a great product. I wasn't looking to spend a lot of money and previously had wasted £25 on a PSU that was uncertified from a different supplier and almost blew my motherboard up in the process. I needed a different PSU but wanted one under £50 that had all of the connectors I need without being modular in design. This product came within that bracket and I have to say that I am superbly impressed by it. I went for the 650 watt and this has more than enough grunt to power all of my peripherals. A budget price power supply but high in value. I would definitely recommend !
