APEVIA SFX-AP400W Mini ITX Solution / Micro ATX / SFX 400W Power Supply

I've seen a lot of bad reviews on this brand power supply. For what it's worth maybe I just got lucky. I've had zero issues. The power is solid and is supporting my NAS which runs 24/7. It's been up for several weeks now without a glitch. i do have it on a UPS so maybe that stability helps. In any case for the money I am a happy customer.

Spent 3 weeks looking for a small form factor power supply unit replacement for an old desktop repair. Old HP Pavillion computer uses a microATX form factor. Depth into the computer chamber has to be less than 4" to fit the cabling to the internal motherboard and hardware. Very, very difficult to locate a microATX for factor. I wanted a price in the $20--25 price range. The Apevia came in high wattage. It has a power switch for on/off, and this is important. It was priced at $30. The quality is good. It looks very nice--comes in all black profile with black covered cables, so sleek and modern. Small size so fits where there is space limits. You will need to buy a adapter plate SFX to ATX. The computer is running, surfing the internet, typing in the review. If I had a similar repair to do, I would buy it again. With a discount code, this is a dope buy. 1 4 4

I ordered this power supply to replace a dead PS on my NAS device.After swapping the old one with this, the symptoms were the same. At that point I assumed it was an issue with the NAS itself, so I embarked on a long and involved troubleshooting process over several days. Eventually giving up and having a pile of drives and parts that once belonged inside my NAS.Recently, my daughter brought in another computer, and I thought I would try to test the NAS again with another power supply.Sure enough, the NAS booted right up.Too late now to try any warranty or returns, now I have to buy another one, but certainly not from this brand/seller.

This is the third one of these PSUs I've bought. This one is for an ITX case I bought a while back and wanted to update. Another one is in this silly old Dell by my foot -- it's not the right size, but I was able to secure it and it's working. Not sure where I put the third one. Anyway, for a small power supply they work very nicely, They make plenty of power (at least for any Video Cards you'd be squeezing into a case that needed on of these) Plenty of connectors (almost too many) and nice and quiet. The only way to improve it would be to make at least some of the cables modular - but that would raise the price, and the price is one of the nicest things about this little PSU.Found the other one - it's in a Thermaltake ITX case that could be using a normal sized PSU, so there you go.

I purchased this for a low/mid range system going in a SFF case and needed a cheap SFX supply. The first one I ordered had horrible coil whine when powered off (5V standby), so it was extremely noticeable. Decided to reach out to support (Amazon was sold out so couldn't replace). They were extremely responsive and after I sent them some info (serial and copy of invoice), quickly dispatched a new one. Got it 4 days later and it's works great powering my i7 4790k and GTX1070 mini without issue. Fan is a bit louder than I'd like, but that's to be expected for a supply that only goes for $30. It's not horrible.All in all, I was a little disappointed at first with the quality, but their support seems top notch and ultimately got what I needed and quite happy with purchase.

Died almost 2 months after using. Return expired a month ago.

The first one i recieved I am deeming it DOA because it had a short in one of the wires. I had to flex the wires to test power supply. I had to refund the first one and order another. The wires seems really stiff which I think why it failed or developed a short. Little to no quality control. Packaging is really tight for the application. Otherwise the power supply work I would recommended for budget builds or replacement for store bought pcs.EDIT: the second unit I received was in the same condition. I think that a failsafe was being tripped inside the PSU. (Out of 3 PSUs this one exhibited this symptom)It seemed the happen with every power cycle from the I/O switch or unplugged. I had to remove the +4 pin from the 24pin connector and reinstall it just to get the motherboard to power on) from there it was fine worked like normal.I had a couple of issues related to game crashes and a bsod but I have to run a couple more tests that confirm that it's the power supply.

I was worried about buying this because of posted complaints, but this one works well in a mini itx system with a Gtx 1050 graphics card.The fan is a little noisy...It's been in service for a few months now.
