ARESGAME 1300W ATX 3.0 PCIE 5.0 Power Supply, 80 Plus Gold Certified, Fully Modular, 10 Year Warranty

My first impression upon receiving the Aresgame AGV650 was that the packaging looked good. I've purchased a lot of computer parts and power supplies over the years, and I've had a lot of poorly packaged items arrive. Opening the shipping box and finding a nice, clean looking product box was a nice start. Opening it up, I found that the packaging inside was just as good. I should have taken more pictures! Everything was well organized, separate bags for all the smaller pieces, documentation, information on contacting the manufacturer, etc. Sidenote: I reached out to support with a question and received an extremely fast reply, so that's a great sign with regards to the product as well.Perhaps my favorite little item was the included "Quick Inspection Tool", and warning/suggestion that the purchaser use the tool before plugging the power supply into their computer. I have tested a lot of power supplies over the years, often by using a wire or the 'paper clip method' to jumper the positions together on the ATX plug. Having a handy little pre-made jumper tool to do the test is great. Perhaps these are common these days, but I didn't have one, so it was immediately added to my tool box. Thank you Aresgame!The power supply itself looks good. Simple, well made, didn't feel flimsy or cheap. I tested it before plugging it in, and everything looked great. I hooked it up, and it's been working very well. No issues so far, and it's quiet. I installed it in my gaming rig, and it's done a great job handling everything so far.All in all, a great product at a reasonable price. If I have any issues down the road, I'll revisit this review, but all signs point to this being a great purchase. I recommend everyone check out Aresgame products.

I have just finished installing the Aresgame AGV650 power supply unit. At this time it is working great: Extremely quite, providing great power for my gaming unit and GPU. I am extremely please with the purchase.I received the product Saturday. Product is listed as Amazon Prime but was offered a choice of 3 day delivery or 4 day delivery. I selected 3-day but was automatically assigned 4-day delivery with no explanation. Unexpected but given the current postal situation not too bad.The box container is well constructed. The PSU was wrapped with air wrap consisting of a series of cigar sized air pockets. This provided a very stiff, snug and sturdy protective enclosure for the PSU. The attached cables were bundled with zip ties. The AC cable was secured with the normal twist tie. Everything was very snug in the box preventing any movement. Needless to say I was very surprised and pleased with the packaging.The product, cables and accessories are accurately described in the Amazon Product Description.There was a test loop included. Basically connects two connections. You connect the test loop to the motherboard connector, connect the AC cable, turn the PSU on and if the fan spins, the PSU is considered operational.For someone not experienced with installing a PSU, installation may be a little daunting. The User Manual is thin and in small print. The installation instructions are sparse and are not very description nor helpful. No detailed steps or explanation of the cables. I was a little exasperated with the cables labeled PCI-E and CPU. I couldn't get them to fit. Ultimately, I remembered the connectors on the end were not solid but split. Once I separated the cables, I was able to connect them to the proper slots.I like the fact that all of the cables except the motherboard cable are flat. It is much neater than the old red, yellow and black cables which have to be zip tied to keep them together.Over all I'm extremely happy with the purchase.

This PSU is very well priced for its rating. It has a chunky heft to it and runs quietly, which bodes well for its operational life. Numerous cables are available, and it includes a jumper for the motherboard plug so you can give it a test startup before doing the time-consuming work of hooking it up. Snap-together plugs for the GPU hold together snugly. No bells and whistles, but that means you aren't paying for those either. I'll update this review if anything changes, but so far would buy again.NOTES ABOUT INSTALLATION:-The clip on the mobo plug couldn't QUITE reach the bottom of the catch on the motherboard socket. This isn't a big deal as that's a very snug connection, and there are a ton of differently shaped sockets.-The latch on the CPU plug is nice and big, and should be easy to operate even if, like mine, your motherboard puts this plug waaaaaay in the back of the case.-The fan on mine continues to rotate freely for almost a minute after shutdown, indicating well built bearings and housings.-Most cables are not wrapped, as they would be on more expensive PSUs. This has very little effect on their function; you can put your own mesh sleeves on if you want.-Comes with zip ties for cable bundling and replacement screws in case this is an OEM build or you ruin your old ones.
