Hi there,
I bought CoolerMaster B500. I was told by the guy in the store that it was a good PSU.
But now, when I searched the internet, turns out CoolerMaster wasn't such a good brand.
Is it true?
Here it is:
http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/b-series/b500/
Cost me 55 $ on promotional price.
I am asking here, because I always read these forums and know that there are here people who actually understand from this stuff.

Dual 12v rails with a total of 45amps,not bad at all for a 500watt.

As for the quality of the actual components(caps and such) used,i do not know..

CoolerMaster can sell really good PSUs: For instance, Cooler Master GX 80 Plus 450W and Cooler Master V series. Some are really bad though.
B500 would be ok but it has bad +12 volt lines.

Take it back and get a refund.
