Annoying "click" (see various other reviews)
Actually, all in all, this is a top power supply unit, but an annoying permanent "click" makes the product an absolute no-go!!!! In this price range, I expect almost perfection and such defects I rather expect from "Chinese firecrackers".
Very disappointing, but unfortunately the power supply unit is going back...
EDIT: For these who cares: I now have the HX1500i and it has no defects whatsoever. Top product (just as the little brother here SHOULD be).Pro
- Everything except
Contra
- the "click
Unfortunately, it does have problems
Unfortunately, the power supply disappointed me. I have two of them and both make clicking noises when there is a low load (video stream or just opening websites). Clicks are clearly audible at least once every 5 seconds and therefore quite annoying. The clicking disappears at high load or completely in idle. I suspect a relay that switches back and forth somewhere between 120 and 180 watts.
Pro
- Zero RPM mode up to a whopping 500 watts
- Small dimensions
- No coil whine
- .Platinum efficiency
- Quiet under load
- iCUE via USB optional
- Fan curve adjustment possible
- .possible (iCUE)
- Readout of electrical values (iCUE)
- 10-year warranty
- CH plug supplied separately
Contra
- Expensive
- Cable nothing special
- Permanent clicking under light load (e. g. video stream or scrolling).e.g. video stream or scrolling on web pages)
Unfortunately extreme sputtering
I had looked at some tests and decided on this power supply because you can set your own fan curve and monitor it. It was also always emphasised how quiet it was.
It is also extremely quiet when idle, but when I start a game I can hear the sputtering whine even one room away. You spend over 200 and you end up with a sputtering whine.Pro
