small, quiet and easy on power

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

I had a Thermaltake 700 watt monster PSU for my big gaming and webmaster box. I was working on the office and accidentally turned off the breaker without powering down first. As most of you probably know, you shouldn't turn off the power before turning off the computer. But I forgot, and this very hefty Thermaltake modular PSU that cost me over $130 just could not handle it. I would like to mention that it was SUPPOSED to have some controls in the BIOS that would crank down fan speeds on both the CPU and chassis fan so that you could use it quietly when there was not a lot going on, and it was supposed to crank the fans up as you used more resources. That set of features NEVER worked with my ASUS motherboard, and even after calling and writing Thermaltake, they were not willing to support it as an ancillary feature. They would not exchange it for something like a "bonus" feature not working. So I bought this little 450 watt Antec as a replacement, after reading the reviews. I am absolutely thrilled with it. It powers everything, including three SATA hard drives, one old IDE hard drive (power hog) and one each SATA and IDE DVD burners. I bench tested everything before packing it back into the case and levels on all rails were perfectly stable and well conditioned, in spite of one rail being significantly loaded compared to the others. It had the "+4" for the main connector and two 4x4 connectors in case I had had a second CPU socket (which I didn't but what if I want to use it elsewhere?) and for $35, it was nearly $100 less than the power hog that just conked out on me. Once I set up the settings in the BIOS for the quiet fan features (I set the CPU fan on "optimal" and the chassis fan on "silent") and restarted it, I was shocked. It is just as quiet as my tiny SFF office box that sits next to the gaming box. Not only that but it has a great looking shiny black case and invisible black fan so that if I wanted to, I could have a glass-sided box (which I don't but you never know if I might want to) so it looks great too. It does NOT have braided covers for the rails, but most builders want to use their own anyhow. I'm impressed. I'm an IT professional and I endorse this lovely little PSU. :)

Revised 03/27/2013
I initially bought this quite some time ago (see Original review)
PSU is doing exactly what I expected - just getting the job done with no surprises. Solid design even though one large 12V rail is preferable (price is right and it has a solid rep). The second time seems to be showing what I suspected - just got that unlucky (small percentage) bad unit. This one should last as long as the system - no problem. Now rate at 4.75 stars.

Revised 12/23/2012
Bought another one (price came back down and made it a better choice then other options for a solid budget PSU) to replace a cheap budget PSU on a second system. Second time should be a charm. These are well made, so

Original review:
I expect this to be a long lived PSU (there is always an occasional bad one). I will leave it at 4 stars for now (I expect to set it to 5 after 9 months), and report back in several months if get a chance. Of course the problem with long term regular use tests of computer equipment: By the time real long term reports are in, we are onto the next generation and have to worry about new designs. But this PSU really does get an A for a solid budget PSU, based on components and deign. Would prefer one large 12V rail, but the price is good on this one.Unfortunately mine failed within 25 days. Simply refused to power up. So why give a product 4 stars when it failed? While working - it was exceptionally quiet and all worked well. There are no perfect products and everyone gets a bad one if you are in the market long enough. Specs on these units are great (they are made with the best quality parts, and for the money, have only a couple of rivals). Sadly the price jumped since returning mine. Now I have to look at other brands.

Antec VP-450 450 Watt Power Supply

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

Purchased this power supply as a replacement for the one that stopped functioning in my son's Acer Aspire desktop. The power supply arrived in excellent condition ahead of the projected delivery date. The new power supply mounted easily into the place where the original power supply was mounted (top rear area of the mid-tower case). The PSU has plenty of connectors (molex, SATA, PCI-E, 8-pin CPU, etc.) to hook up to your PC. Cable length is more than adequate. I reviewed a number of power supplies from Amazon (specs, dimensions, customer reviews, etc.) before choosing this one. The original 300 Watt PSU had a rear exhaust fan (the 80 mm kind that was the standard but now seems to be giving way to the bottom mounted 120 mm fans). I had a concern over how this PSU would circulate and exhaust air through the PSU housing as I needed one that still exhausted through the rear of the PSU which faces outward when installed in the mid-tower case. I finally found information on Antek's website showing how their PSU's pull air through the bottom fan opening and exhaust out the back - exactly what I needed. I also wondered about the power switch on the back (many PSU's today seem to have this switch) and how that would interface with the operation of the power switch on the PC's case, but decided to order this one anyway as the price was too good to pass up. I found out that the switch on the back merely energizes the PSU. The PC power switch still turns the PSU on to power everything up. The PSU has been running now for a couple of months. It runs quietly. And, the CPU fan doesn't seem to run as fast, perhaps due to the PSU fan pulling more air through the case. All in all, we are quite satisfied with this replacement PSU.

Does what it's supposed to

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

Good quality product and fairly quiet. I have an i5 desktop running an AMD 7770 video card and a 1TB hard drive. It powers this combo with no issues and so far I am quite happy with it's performance. I have had this for about a year and it's still going strong. One of the best value power supplies out there in my opinion and although I still would like to upgrade, I will only need to when I decide to replace my video card.
Overall, very satisfied.

I've used this for almost 2 years until it made a really annoying humming/buzzing noise. It was still under warranty so I was able to get a new one from Antec but the RMA process in their website is awful and took a while to be able to submit a ticket. Still decent company and good customer service.

You don't even know the fan is running unless you put your hand by it. All the connecters you need and they all reach where you need them. Install was a breeze with no problems.
