Pros
- Can handle more than 500W
- Excellent ripple suppression
- Reasonable efficiency
Cons
- Low quality capacitors (-2)
- Gets noisy under load (-1)
- Voltage regulation has room for improvement (-0.5)
- Fan could be better (-0.5)

Final comments: The performance during the load tester was quite acceptable, but the build quality has room for improvement. Therefore, if one of these power supplies comes with your case, then it could be used for a few years, but after that, we would recommend replacing it.
