    As the topic
    Is the Akyga model: AK-B1-500 power supply good ??

    Added after 3 [minutes]:

    I am asking because I was going to undress it for a part.

    Added after 6 [minutes]:

    I currently have Logic 400Atx

    Both power supplies are the "bottom". They cannot be included in the recommended power supplies.

    There is nothing to brag about, a blacklisted power supply.
    The first one, didn't you mistake the name, maybe it's AKYGA? Also from this list.

    Logic has a lot of good reviews, I have been using it for a week, pc has been started almost 24/7 and works smoothly and quietly well. I don't know why he was on black and who put it there.

    I don't know, maybe it's a better product than "logic" :P
    As for me, both of these power supplies are suitable for parts.
    But if you want, use it while it works. I will not deny. But things can happen during a breakdown.

    I don't know if it's because of it but I used to be a skayga (whom I am a little afraid to put in) probably set fire to my hard drive "literally burned"

    I had a Logic power supply which spit on the + 12V output over 13V.

    The quality of these power supplies is very low.
    Tacky capacitors, poor stabilization, low efficiency.
    There are many disadvantages.

    Multimeter measurement alone should be sufficient.
    A friend will remove such a "super power supply" from the computer, launch a jumper (green wire in the ATX plug shorted to ground) and then connect a few halogen / car bulbs to the + 12V line.
    Your friend will see how dumb these power supplies are.
    It is possible that you will have to weigh the + 3.3V and + 5V lines because in these power supplies the stabilization consists in measuring the voltages of these lines. Currently, almost all hardware in the computer uses + 12V, + 3.3V / 5V was used intensively somewhere in the early 2000s and earlier. This stabilization method causes that the voltage on the most important + 12V line will sit firmly in most situations.

    The picture clearly shows how these power supplies are made.

    In the first post a colleague wrote that he is going to take it apart.
    This is the best application for this power supply.

    A colleague will have high voltage transistors, a handful of low and high power diodes, integrated circuits (operational amplifiers are added), coils and transformers, and other elements useful in building your own systems.

    Luckily, your colleague will have enough elements to build a simple workshop (linear) power supply.

    Where are you written " skayga "??
    AK-B1-500 is Akyga , which is one of the worst shacks on the power supply blacklist.

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the Akyga AK-B1-500 power supply, with users expressing skepticism about its quality and performance. Many participants categorize both the Akyga AK-B1-500 and the Logic 400ATX power supplies as subpar, often referring to them as "blacklisted" due to their low reliability and potential hazards. Concerns include poor voltage stabilization, low efficiency, and the risk of damaging components, as one user recounted a negative experience with a previous Akyga unit that allegedly caused a hard drive failure. Despite some users defending the Logic model for its quiet operation, the consensus leans towards caution, suggesting that these power supplies are more suitable for disassembly and repurposing rather than reliable use in a computer system.
