Final comments: The Enlight Sniper 330W did what is was supposed to – it delivered it’s rating in spec and didn’t blow up. However, I do think that the manufacturer should have allowed for some more headroom. The power supply was beginning to burn when loaded to full power, and may not have lasted all that long running at that load. There are also several build quality issues, such as the lack of input filtering, the use of unknown capacitors, and the soldering. The dated design of this power supply also made for poor efficiency. For a budget power supply, my recommendation remains the In Win IP-S400EQ3-2 or IP-S400CQ2-0. They are far better products, and are still fairly affordable.
Score: 4/10
