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.

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...

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..

.....
turns out it's not that good in the eye of mainland chinese users either...the entire brand

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
