Well today my friends, I put my money where my mouth is and review one of A+ GPB's "PROFESSIONAL Ceramic Fan (Super Quiet Fan Control) SERIES" power supplies. A very notable fact is that these beauties come with an amazing 3 Year Manufacturer's Warranty. That's three times more than most power supplies come with!</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/500w/1big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/500w/1.jpg" alt="AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply " width="250" height="240" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Packaging:</strong> <p align="left">The shipment arrived in excellent shape, with the shrink wrapped PSU nestled safely inside mounds of packing peanuts. The power supply comes with a 3 Year Warranty, as well as a "Recommended By" sticker touting Intel, Iwill, Tyan, and Supermicro, along with server and dual CPU support. As an added bonus; this model is nickel plated.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/500w/2big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/500w/2.jpg" alt="AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply " width="250" height="250" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left"><strong>Specifications and Features:</strong></p> <p>AGPB-P4ATX50F Specs And Features can be found at <a href="http://www.gpb-jge.com/file/ap50f.html" target="blank">their web site.</a></p> <ul> <li>Support Intel & AMD Dual CPU Server M/B (24pin connector for Intel Server M/B and additional adapter cable for AMD Server M/B</li> <li>Approved by UL, TUV, CB, CE, Iwill, SuperMicro, AMD And Intel</li> <li>One 24pin - 20pin adapter cable for regular ATX M/B</li> <li>Fan Control Switch - for fan speed adjustment</li> <li>100% burn-in under high ambient temperature</li> <li>Additional 120v power outlet for Monitor</li> <li>Short circuit protection on all outputs</li> <li>Two 12 VDE ball-bearing ceramic fans</li> <li>Output over voltage protection</li> <li>MTBF: 100K hours at 25</li> <li>100% Hi-pot tested</li> </ul> <p align="left"><strong>Description:</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/500w/3big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/500w/3.jpg" alt="AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply " width="250" height="249" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">Out of the sealed retail package, this PSU shows some style. The nickel coating is much better than this picture conveys. Very nice! Getting past the good looks, this PSU comes with a hefty power cable, bag of hardware, and zip ties.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/500w/4big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/500w/4.jpg" alt="AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply " width="250" height="246" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">This PSU also comes with a 24-to-20 pin adapter and several server connectors as well as a SATA adapter for you hard drive speed demons. The connectors sport gold plated plugs for maximum connectivity and "bling-factor". </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/500w/5big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/500w/5.jpg" alt="AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply " width="333" height="250" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">A+ GPB's nickel finish on this PSU is pretty good. This not quite mirror finish is uniform throughout making fit and finish on this power supply is perfect. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/500w/6big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/500w/6.jpg" alt="AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply " width="250" height="249" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">Sure, power supply wattage plays a factor when buying, but it doesn't stop there. Among other mitigating factors, I'm a firm believer in end user reviews, as well as weight being a large factor in choosing a good power supply, and <a href="atruereview/500w/2big.jpg" target="blank">here's proof</a>. This hefty power supply weighs in at a whopping 5lbs 4.5oz. That's a <b>huge</b> step up from my 450 watter that weighs in at just over two pounds. A heavier supply means larger capacitors, bigger transformers and better heatsinks leading to a better quality PSU.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/500w/7big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/500w/7.jpg" alt="AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply " width="300" height="241" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">It's nice to see a big sticker showing all the PSU info. Good job A+ GPB for not hiding behind a small - illegible sticker like so many others do. The 3.3v rail shows 26/35a, 5.0v rail shows 47/61a, and the 12v rail showing 28 amps. This one is a huge performer! </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/500w/8big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/500w/8.jpg" alt="AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply " width="300" height="270" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left"> A look at the exhaust side shows the fan controls as well as the extra 110/120v outlet. The fan controls are: auto/low/med. The PSU itself is super quiet, even when set to "auto". </p> <p align="right"><a href="atruereview/500w/agpb.php"></a> <a href="500w/agpb.php">Next (Testing & Conclusion)</a></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer"> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
