High end PSUs also deteriorate, just at a much much slower rate then those cheap PSUs because of high quality parts

Depends on "stress level" ... high stress level (High end GPU/CPU) may accelerates deterioration. if your PC doesn't stress as much like an office PC... well it may keep up.

You ask for opinion, people tell you that PSU is of bad quality, but then here you are trying to defend it
So why bother opening this thread at all?

We all know this psu is bad. When i am saying "i think it's not that bad","i think it's good" that's compared to low tier chinese psu's.
These are my thoughts so far. I am not defending this psu.
Thing i need to learn is how bad this psu is. If it's good enough to provide power to a gtx 1660S for few years.I think it's a good psu.

not sure good or not. never try never know.
but we can not find the brand and model in 80plus website:
https://www.plugloadsolutions.com/80PlusPowerSupplies.aspx
so, very sure the power efficiency is not verified or certified (although it claim it  got 80plus bronze) .
and have higher chance that the Watt it claimed is over-rated as well .
Since u already bought it, so...
1) If I were u, I would  treat it like a 450w or 500w psu..
2) And for safety purpose, use it only in 230v country . eg: malaysia, singapore, china,blah blah blah..and had better not to try it in 115v countries.
3) make sure the fan of psu is spinning, then u shall be fine.
4) beside that, had better turn off your pc ,and un-plug it  in  bad weather (thunder storm)
      (if your internet is ADSL/VDSL, u have to disconnect your telephone line from your modem as well !!! ).
5) and  turn off your pc, and un-plug it while power-grid become less stable...

Great tips. Thank you so much! I will definetely keep an eye on it.

We use 230 volt here too.
I just checked the fan after i saw your comment. It's spinning.I will check it regularly.
Didn't know that telephone line is dangerous on bad weather. Great tip!

Cheap PSU will have cheap components aka cap ayam.. Overtime these components in this cheap PSU will deteriorate .. cap ayam capacitors used that was responsible to smooth voltage/current rippling will go beyond tolerance level.. which may cause system stability issues or worse causing permanent damage to your PC components.

I hope it's not gonna detoriorate so fast. I am not using it on high load.

Can't trust low tier capacitors. Only company that uses lower tier parts I trust is FSP.

Should not have issue with your current build.

I hope so. thumbsup.gif
Thank you.

Cheap psu tend to run hot / less efficient. Find decent one for long lasting use.

Psu is getting cold air from the bottom of the case. i don't feel like psu is hot when i touch it.
I will change it if it becomes unstable.



Thank you all.

it's not that bad we would think, because there is no single review about aigo psu that warrants it as bad. well, there's no review at all for aigo psu. so I can try to look at actual mainland chinese customer's review on aigo psu products though. let me dig..

If u r looking for the negative comments online, u can always find some..
if the psu at this price range also cheapskate on the X and Y capacitors , that's really doesn't look good..
btw, we don't know if the item they sold oversea as same as they sold in their country?.. hmm.gif
even the model exactly same, they r not necessary same thing ..
(most third world countries ,including Malaysia , selling the best grade product oversea.. currency issue..)

and even the best psu makers in the world ,also got lousy product line, and faulty items..
so, I don't judge the 'whole brand' just for a product or product line.
I'm hoping we can find some professional local review.. but I guess we can't.. drool.gif

those X and Y capacitors mostly do the EMI and RFI noise filtering, so if have doubt with it, u can add a Surge Arrest / Surge protector outlet that come with that function by your own...
I guess around RM60 already can get a good quality one. icon_idea.gif
btw, I don't bother, as long as it can turn on /off normally everytime.. it just work... devil.gif

Hello,

I have a psu called Aigo GP 550W.

I am living in Turkey and there is no information about quality of this psu, no one knows about it.  sad.gif

While searching on web, i saw aigo psu's are common in Malaysia.

Can you please tell me, is this a good psu ?

I know it's a low-end psu but do you think it is reliable?

Will this psu blow up my system? smile.gif

Thank you.

I owned Aigo GP 650W and use it for a very high load. works fine. And it running 24/7 full load. Just bought it last year in December.
