Aerocool Power Supplies: General Opinion, Quality, Pricing, and User Experiences

Hello

I spend some time on the electrode, a lot of advice was given on the use of different power supplies.

I am interested in the general opinion of the Aerocool brand.
On the standard list of Elektrody.pl concerning the "Black and White list of power supplies" Aerocool is in the first place (alphabetically) of power supplies not recommended.

https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic1199271.html


I have not heard a bad word in terms of the operation of their power supplies (maybe only that they are of average quality and too expensive - but if someone gets a gift?).

Maybe someone has experience or is able to clearly determine whether these power supplies are good or not.

Regards.

As a user of the aerocool strike-x 600w, I can see only positive things. Certificate, a lot of security, effective 14cm fan, quiet, you can't hear it. I tested the meter recently and the voltage is very good, besides a lot of outputs and there will be no problem with handling the latest graphics cards. 0 problems so far.

How much time do you use it? It is also important. It is also important whether the configuration was subject to OC and how the Power Supply behaved.

You see, my power supply is soooo years old, it has passed many times, and the voltage is still there, like on the first day I bought it.
12.20V to + 12V
5.19V to + 5V
3.44V to + 3.3V

I did not measure the rest - + 5VSB, I did not have a chance, but I think it is normal.

Once I accidentally made a short circuit on the mini molex contact and the sparks just went and it turned off immediately.

This is also what I mean to state the behavior of the power supply in extreme situations. Of course, if someone had such "adventures", because it is pointless to test the only computer in the house just to share such information.

Dear Moderator - but I do not want to buy it, and this is a typical hardware topic, so I do not understand why it landed in the what to buy section. But let it be.

The Aerocool is good: d Low prices and powerful power supplies.

Have you had contact with the VP-450? Time to catch up

I just didn't have, and I get a lot of questions, is it good equipment or not, and I don't know what to answer. I have no conviction, but maybe I'll change my mind.

This is the minimum when it comes to branded power supplies. Just in time for the office.

The best dell'e or hp or laptops from decent companies are the best for the office. It is This power supply is good or not good. Easy question.

Put it closer to the feelings or closer to the fortrons?

And donate, but I would not pay PLN 130 for a power supply, which I cannot rely on for the branded one at the same price.

Hence this topic.

It's hard to comment on this. A bit better than the Feel III.


But he is a bit short of the fortress. Despite the price.

However, in my opinion, it deserves to be on the list of reputable brands. Which, moreover, can also be enriched with SilentiumPC.

Speaking of updates, it would be useful to refresh the topic with recommended sets.

The set, the set is right - but there is plenty of it! And the companies producing Power supplies now and available on the market are maybe 30 in total (I do not count fakes, etc.) Only those that "walk" sell.

I have it 2 years old, my amd phenom ii 965 be was turned up to 3.8 ghz. Tested for an hour of occt, everything is nice and stable, the voltage is great, the temperature is ok. In the near future, after changing the cooling on the card, I will overclock the GPU.

So so far everything points to the whitelist. We'll wait yet. Thanks so far.

I put together a few sets on the VP-450 myself. Considering that it has just over 300W at 12V - this result is not knocking you on your knees. In my opinion, it is perfect for office configurations or with light graphics (let's assume that for a platform with S1155 + HD7770 or a comparable platform that can drain from 12V around 200W with a load, I would not be afraid to use it).

The power supply itself has a reasonable quality of workmanship, not the shortest cables, it is not bothersome noisy, the set with G860 + hd7770 did not let go of the smoke during the hourly "power supply" test, the voltage measurement with a multimeter did not indicate any problems. I do not remember exactly what the wiring was for, for office sets or for the mentioned g860 it was just right.

In my opinion, a solid medium, but due to the rather average performance at 12V, it is suitable for sets with integrated or lighter graphics. In the set for the player, I would opt for something with a better 12V line.

I will not hesitate to buy this power supply again when I build a lighter set.

I have been using Aerocool Vp-450 for nearly two years and in fact it is ok. However, for some time there are two versions on the market called Aerocool vp-450, the earlier one produced by Andyson with a power on the + 12V = 336W line and another version with a power of 312W. Below are links to both, with photos of the nameplate:

2.http: //pcshop33.ru/price/hardware/p_c_2:t_107:s_2:info_105710_BP_450Vt_Aerocool_VP_450_ATX12V_V2.3.html

So when it comes to Andyson, I have a good opinion about this power supply. It is quiet at rest, after a long period of use, the fan does not rattle, you cannot hear the coils. He survived a short circuit on the board, the board died, but the protection was on time and turned off the power supply before damage. It is used with Vtx HD4850 DDR5 (OC @ 625MHz + G630). Voltage stability average, but nothing more than ATX standard quite typical in this price segment. Fluctuations on the + 12V line were in the 12.05V -12.25V fork, between the iddle and the full load of the power supply in the OCCT.
However, it is difficult for me to say something about the weaker version (312W), because it is probably a completely different platform. For today, at a low price, I would recommend the Chieftec GPA on a nice CWT platform, although it has slightly shorter cables.

The GPA chieftec is a power supply that is increasingly being heard about unfavorable opinions. I think unfortunately they saved on the project.

At one time, opinions about my power supply were also divided, so maybe time will show how it really will be.

So we already know that Aerocool is also a product in the product and that is what it is all about.

And thanks to this theme, aerocool has disappeared from the blacklist!

Only it was not on the list of good power supplies.

A colleague has the Aerocool VP-450 since November with the HD6850 + G860 and so far it has been working well

Anyway, the average power supply - 312 / 336W for 12V for PLN 130 is nothing. Fortron for PLN 49 has 300W.

The only advantage compared to, for example, HLN is longer cables and a longer warranty.

For PLN 150 there is a CoreXStream from 444W to 12V.

It's hard to qualify power supplies only by brand, because manufacturers have more and less successful power supplies - the fact that it is on the "white" list does not make it a good choice, for example, looking at the confrontation with the CXS.

But there is already progress, and life and time will verify whether it gets on the list of recommended brands.

Thanks to this, I think that now there will be a few more purchases with his participation, and thus, there will be a larger test field and then it will turn out what equipment it is.

As I wrote at the beginning - I know that it is not great in terms of price, but if someone gets it, they will not think about replacing it immediately, and that was it.

BTW, I hope that in the thicket of products, despite the low power, it will prove itself and how is it really with them - we will see if it holds its power stiffly, or if it has less power, or maybe it is possible to squeeze more out of it than the factory predicted.

I leave the topic open - if someone meets with Aerocool , he will have the opportunity to test it a bit, let him write his observations, results etc. Of course with markings.

Thanks for the posts so far, ladies and gentlemen.

For me, 450 work in my office computer. It is not sawn when it comes to power consumption, but ...
The power supply was replaced because the previous computer was unstable, lost USB devices or did not detect them. After replacing everything is ok, no matter how many and which USB devices I would not use. And it's really quiet.

Hello,
user AEROCOOL STRIKE-X 600 From this side.
No problems for several months, power-hungry graphics, several disks, an additional CPU core unlocked from time to time.

There is the first fault - the fan starts to growl, especially at idle ...
