LogisysCorp. 480W 240-Pin 120MM Ball Bearing Switching Power Supply PS480E12

The LOGISYS PS480E12 Power Supply is a standard ATX power supply and can be used to replace the power supplies in most generic/DIY built PCs. Note that there is no 6-pin video card power connector on this supply (some power hungry graphics cards require this connector) so if you need this check out the  Logisys Corp. 550W 120mm Ball Bearing Fan with PSU ATX 550 Power Supply PS550E12BK, Black  instead.THE GOOD:+ Has one dual ball bearing 120mm cooling fan (verified by the label of the fan itself). Ball bearing fans are a must in power supplies because a bad fan will cause the power supply to cook itself to failure shortly (if you don't notice that the fan has failed). A ball bearing fan has superior lifespan over the cheaper sleeve bearing fans that are used on most power supplies. Anyway, the fan in this supply has an RPM of 1600 and is not adjustable or temperature controlled. Note the difference in RPM compared to the specs on the product page (claimed 2000RPM but actually 1600RPM in my supply).+ Has physical on/off switch.THE BAD:- The wires to the Molex/floppy/SATA connectors are thinner compared to previous power supplies that I've used. Wire gauge appears to be 22 AWG.- There is no nylon sleeve on cables to keep wires neat and tidy. Because of this cabling is somewhat "messy" when installed (a couple of cable ties will help).- Some people may be disappointed that there are no fancy LEDs or that the case doesn't have shiny colors. (These things don't mean much to me anyway, I prefer a reliable plain-looking power supply over a fancy looking one).- I have examined the capacitors used on this supply. As expected they are some brand that I've never heard of - time will tell whether they actually last or not. However one thing that I didn't like is the low value of the capacitors on the DC outputs. This supply has single 1000uF caps on 3.3v, 5v & 12v outputs. Generally I would like to see 1500uF or preferably 2200uF. 1000uF was probably chosen because they are lower cost. One good thing about the caps is that they are not right next to the heatsink as in other supplies so they should not be affected by high temps.- Even though the supply is labelled "480W" note that the total average power is 330W (Max Power 480W).OVERALL, I would recommend this supply at the low cost (24 bucks at the time I bought it), although I wish it had sleeving to keep cables tidy. I have installed this supply in a PC that is on 24/7 and will update this review as time passes.I hope you have found this helpful.

This psu is fine for simple applications and with a low power graphics card. As mentioned in other reviews it only has 2 sata plugs and they are on the same lead and placed fairly close together which makes it tough if you have a large case and the optical drive is more then a couple inches from your hard drive. luckily i had an adapter form molex to sata so it was not a worry for me. The mother board connector leads are also pretty short so if you have a full size case you'll want to get some extensions to allow them to reach. One other curious note is that it seemed the ball bearings made some amount of noise if the psu is mounted side ways (i had one on a test bench) and sounds like bearings were bouncing off each other inside the fan if it started to ramp up. I tried it with a corei5 ivy bridge and a gtx 660 and with 12 gb of memory and it did fine with surfing and running most applications but once I tried running an online game (world of tanks) it would cut out in the middle of any intense graphic requirements. not sure if it fully reaches 480 watts, i eventually replaced it with an old cooler master 500W and all the problems ceased. I will admit I have two of these, I put one in my work computer when the fan on another psu started making funky noises and it has performed fine with no problems whatsoever. Hope this helps.

Good:20+4 is configurable, can remove the 4 by sliding it off the 20.4 molex connectors (old ide)floppy connector2 sata connectors (unneeded for my pc)sufficient cable length.480w power.Bad:flimsy casingmolex connectors are cheaply made, the metal clips wiggle in the plug, requiring one to hold the wires just right in order to line up with the pins on the receiver.Not as quiet as some reviewers seem to think.My power supply was complaining for a while when starting up, then it stopped actually turning off when I told the pc to shut down. Then suddenly it quit working all together. I had a 450 watt power supply that lasted 10 years on this old pc so I can't complain. But I have software on this machine that I need, that wont carry over on a machine upgrade, so I need it to continue working for a while yet.I bought this unit, felt it was a good power output for a good price. So far I am not disappointed. I would give it a 5 star if it weren't for the cheaply made molex connectors.

Product is as-advertised: 1x20+4 pin ATX, 1x4-pin 12V/P4, 4x4-pin molex, 2xSATA, and 1xFDD. Mine also came with a power cord (which I have too many of already). The 120mm dual-ball-bearing fan actually makes this power supply quieter than my previous power supply (which was a deluxe 500W with all the trimmings and 2x80mm potted fans). The case for the power supply was (very) minorly bent, but it's entirely cosmetic. In my case, the power supply mounts fan-side down. With Amazon Prime free two-day shipping (which actually ended up coming the day after I ordered it), it's pretty much the same price ($22.39) as from Newegg (currently $15.99 + $5.99 shipping). The upshot is, this power supply seems well worth its inexpensive price. If you've got/want a more badass computer, you'd obviously want a higher end power supply, but for getting my old desktop back up and running, this seems about as good as you can get for sub-$25.

I used this to replace an old broken PSU and was very pleasantly surprised by this product. At the price point, I wasn't actually expecting it to work well but it installed just fine in the existing case and powered on the first time after plugged in. I especially appreciated the SATA power cables that the old PSU didn't have so that saved some converter cables. The fan is quiet. I'm not trying to power a hardcore video card or anything so I can't speak to that but the price is amazing for this one.
