I’d never use that power supply. The chance of it taking some components with it upon death is very high.

18a*12v makes 216w. Immediately grab a decent PSU from the likes of Antec EA Pro Gold, CM MWE gold V2, Corsair CX-F or TX.. or other non-bomb PSUs.

18A * 12V ~ 216W
It’s not anywhere near 600W.
Good power supplies have 90~100% on 12V rail.
So effectively like 250W power supply being generous.
Exciting-Flan-1484
220v input at 3a is 660w, assuming about 70-80% efficiency it’s about 600w yeah
snake_eater4526
What the hell, why the 5v rail have so much amps available but the main 12v only 18 😂😂😂
Hattix
Holy shit that’s old.
No, it is not 600 watt.
It is 216 watts, we only care about what the 12V rail can deliver.
It’s so old that much of its capacity is on the 5V rail (140W) and 3.3V rail (46W). Heck, even adding them up still only gets me to 402 watts.
It’s e-waste. It will not power a modern system, even very low end, safely.

The Power supply unit is the ONLY thing you don’t want to cheap out on if you like your pc, house and maybe even your life
Natural-You4322
Ha. I won’t even trust it for low power system.

Banish the scary psu
msanangelo
send it to LTT Labs and find out. 😛
that’s a lot of 5v power though.
*slaps psu* you can power so many ssds with that thing.

The irony, I literally bought a gamemax PSU last week, already arrived, installed, etc.. it’s working fine on my end, doesn’t seem to be a trashy brand. However, this particular PSU you posted, it looks ancient, it’s not really 600w, no way
LuckyGamer470
Bro that things 216 watts on the 12 volt rail
riba2233
It can barely supply good 200W. Don’t use it, is most probably 2005 era tech.
UserNameTaken96Hours
Looks like they used the input for their label.
“220V at 3A… Eh close enough let’s call it 600W”
Seeing as max output across all available PC voltages is about 400ish W, it has absolute shit efficiency.
Very old, very inefficient, probably somewhat dangerous. Get something new. My go to is usually seasonic prime or focus.

A lot of these comments make me feel ancient.
Makes me wonder how people will react to an AT form factor PSU.
EternalSkullman
Rebranded Colorsit PSU. 330W is the maximum it will do.
BaephBush
How do manufacturers get away with crap like this?
all you need to know is that Gamemax as a COMPANY are listed under “Tier F – Replace immediately”. That basically makes it a fire hazard, please listen to cultists network lmao.

I was thinking about getting a gamemax PSU, but decided it’s a horrible idea to cheap out. Unlucky you. It’s some sketchy cover up name of an already bad-rep Chinese brand which makes literal shit products.
Cheefnuggs
Everyone should just buy Corsair RMx series PSU’s and stop making these posts
ryzen-5-1600af
I honestly have no idea how the 600w is even written on it since it can give out maximum of 216w on 12v rail and 140w on 5v rail. More of a bomb than something that should power your pc

If a power supply doesn’t have (at least)the 80 bronze quality, don’t use it

It is a power supply made by a Chinese vendor they literally send out a few good ones to and then reimburse the people who give them a good rating after about a month they may or may not die. Side note they also stop sending out functional power supplies after the first 100 reviews. Only reason I know is they sent one to me and offered me the whole reimbursement I then stress tested both the power supplies that I got reimbursed from them one works and is exactly as advertised the other is a paperweight after a month. But based on sales they spent about 1-2 grand with their reimbursements but robbed about 10-20 grand via the good review method.

I would never trust a power supply from a company I’ve never heard of. You don’t go cheap on the power supply.

Its probably more like the models name. 330watts. Please throw it away

I’ve heard nothing good about Gamemax, and the fact that it says “switching power supply” as if that’s something special (all modern PSUs are) does not bode well.

Never has a Caution: Hazardous Area warning been so appropriate.
Take your family and flee.

It will pull 600W from the wall, but only delivery like 400 to your PC, I would definitely not use it, just buy an 80Gold modular power supply, they’re not that expensive.
yurtmandamn
“600 watt switching power” yea it will hit you hard with the 600 watts worth of explosion it will cause
GoldenPuffi
There is one rule above all other things in pc building:
NEVER cheap out on your PSU. This thing is able to fry all of your components or burn down a house.

Mate thats no power supply. Thats a bomb.
Whatever it is. Dont use it. Its on the “Tier F – Immediately Replace” on the cultists network psu tier list. The whole manufacturer is btw.

I’d rather take a worse gpu then some cheap psu.
It’s about 200W total.
