BFG GS-450 450W Power Supply ATX V2.2 EPS12V Active PFC 20/24PIN 6PIN PCI-E 140MM Fan

Comment:
Buyed this PSU for a cheap build(everything onboard with cheapest AMD cpu). Do what it's supposed to do: supply the power with correct voltages. When not on-sale you're better out with SPI brand :PWhen paying 20$ for a PSU I don't really care if the company exist anymore!

Comment:
For $20, had not to pick one up as a spare. after 3 months, its still collecting dust, but i guess that's a good thing. means the rest of my psu's are working fine.

Comment:
I have 2 of them 1 i have been running for about 8 months and 1 i just bought 3 days ago to replace a customers PSU that blew , Both work Top Notch

Comment:
For 20 bone this unit worked wonders as a cheap replacement on an older PC of my sisters from 2004. Steady hum that isn't loud and has been working efficiently so far. Only been a couple weeks but seems like a great purchase so far.At this price, with the NCIX 1 year warranty, can't go wrong.

I purchased this PSU to replace a 250W original that came in my HP Tower. I was able to pick one up for $20 on sale (plus tax and shipping). So far I have been pleased with, and can't comment much on its performance. All I can say is my computer turns on and off, and my video card works too. I also like the big fan it has, my original psu had no fan like that, so it will certainly help keep things cool.My only complaint, and its only something that would be nice to have is the cables are not swappable (plug in only the ones you need, and remove the ones you dont). So I have a bunch of extra cables bundled in areas inside the tower :S.All in all, Happy with my buy.

Comment:
This PS will beat out many generic 600 and 650 watts PS that comes free with your case. It feels solid and heavy so I get that quality feeling although I've only had it for a week.

Runs smooth and quiet but it would be nice it they had adjustible speed control

Comment:
For $20 on boxing day this was a steal. Very happy to see NCIX has given us a yr of warranty on it. Looks great and works well.

Purchased on sale for $19.99. At this price a warranty is irrelevant as it would cost more than it is worth for shipping and hassling. Not enough SATA connections on this unit. That is easily remedied with $0.99 adapters but it isn't an elegant solution. Good value, hopefully it survives in the long run.Purchased on sale for $19.99.

Got one of these because I needed a quick cheap unit for a PC and there was nothing else readily available or on sale. At $20 it's not bad, and better than paperweight no name units but that's about it.This thing is much closer to a 300W PSU in real world conditions, but for a cheap user HTPC it'll do.When the Corsair CMPSU-430CXs are on sale with rebate for around $20 there's a much better buy =).

Comment:
My old psu on my spare comp sounded like a hamster wheel - this unit runs very quietly.

Comment:
Bought this PSU on sale at half price, for a budget build!! Extremely pleased with this unit. Its one of those rare cases where you get more then what you paid for. The look and feel is very high quality and the two fans are very quiet.

Comment:
Let's see, great price, runs smooth and quiet. What more would anyone want from a power supply. I would be ok with recommending this to anyone who is building a mid-grade system.

Comment:
Great power supply for the average user, has enough power for a mild vidoe card aswell. Nice shiny finish and sleeved cables.

Comment:
This is a good power supply for a low to mid range computer. I'm using it with an AMD Quad with integrated graphics so the demand is fairly low. In the Antec P180 Mini (bottom mounted PS) not all the cables were long enough to run behind the motherboard, so the cabling wasn't as neat as I like. (Didn't have this problem with OCZ power supplies) This unit is a good buy when on sale. Certainly worth the money.

Comment:
only 2 SATA power connectors, are you kidding me. Man I should have read the specs before purchasing. Good thing the computer I made it for only requires one hard drive and one dvd burner. 1 year ncix warranty is nice

Comment:
Great power supply, heavy enough LOL.... I like bfg, its too bad they are no more, altho, NCIX is giving a 1 YR warranty.

Comment:
This is a decent cool running unit with enough connectors for a midrange system. I'm running an FX-60 overclocked to 3GHz, with a couple of hard drives and a 7800GT no problem.

Comment:
Good PSU. Using it to power a GTS 450. Got it just because of the price/watts/and name brand. Was a bit surprised it came with only 2 sata powers but cant expect too much.

Comment:
This is a fantastic PSU that is a steal at $30, but not realy a great deal at $50 (I'd get something from OCZ at that price range, on sale).It's quite heavy, almost excessively so, and the fan is a tiny bit noisy. Good value for the money.

Comment:
got this on sale with rebate, but I forgot about rebate. It seems to have enough connectors and runs any low to mid range system quite quietly. Overall it is pretty decent.

Comment:
This is a decent cool running unit with enough connectors for a midrange system. I'm running an E6500 overclocked to 3.5GHz, with a couple of hard drives and a Radeon HD 5770 no problem.So far very satisfied with this unit for $29.99.

Comment:
Pour 30$ en solde ce bloc d'alimentation est une très bonne affaire. Utilisé dans un système de base complet il est plus que suffisant et il a assez de marge pour un CPU pas mal puissant et une carte graphique de gamme moyenne. la ventilation est bonne mais assez silencieuse. Certainement un bon achat pour 30$.

Comment:
Weekly sale price 29.99, was surprised at the weight of this unit. All the Sata, then couple of molex all on one line, not the best arrangement. All in all for the price, seems competent enough for a medium duty system. This review was modfied by poster @ 06-03-10 05:52 AM

Use this as my test power supply & so far works well.Only time will tell how reliable it is long term.
