Antec VPF550 PSU review

[Ace Modder]

Hi guys

eTeknix have reviewed our VPF550 80 Plus Bronze PSU, seems they were rather impressed with the performance and stability of it

This may be an 80 Plus Bronze rated unit, but it’s mostly within the Silver rating on our tests, only missing out at 50% load by a very small margin. This is great, as you’re mostly getting better than advertised efficiency!

OK, I’m pretty stumped here, these results are very good, not just for a PSU, but for any PSU.

Conclusion

When I first saw this power supply, there was a little part of me that wanted to point and laugh. Let’s be honest, it looks a bit rubbish and while I admit that is not out of the ordinary for a budget power supply, it is hard to be particularly excited by products in this price range. Of course, the jokes on me, because after we plugged this unit into our load tester, it’s Antec who are doing the laughing.
