Hi, My PSU died a week ago and only thing i can buy right now for the money i have is RAIDMAX XT Series RX-500XT 500W Intel ATX12V V2.3. Firstly i wanted to buy CHIEFTEC PPS-500S but there is none in storage in the town where i live. I know that RaidMax PSU's are NOT THE BEST but that is kinda my only option for now (For anyone who want so type why don't you just add 40-50$ and buy a better one) I would if i could but that's kinda hard when you live in Serbia with only one salary and need to pay bills... I just need some opinions will it work fine with my setup and if anyone used that PSU or similar from RaidMax. Thanks.


Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P21/FX (MS-7641)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (Stock speed)
GPU: MSI R7 260 1GB GDDR5 OC Editon
RAM: 8GB
Fans: 1 on side of PC and one on CPU all i know CPU fan is runing on 3000+ rpm

Okay fair point but i'm not an expert or any kind but does PSU work properly under load that open? And that video kinda looks like some commercial towards Corsair. You are saying i'm 100% fucked 100% of time even if there is good reviews on product on Newegg and Ebay.

Just like high rated PSUs can sometimes be lemons, It's possible that low rated PSUs could actually work fine....nah! even I am not buying that!

The PSU is the heart of your system, without it NOTHING works! it is the only component that, if it fails, can destroy ALL of your other components! DO NOT "cheap out" on the PSU it is false economy, and could, by failing, turn out to be the most expensive component you have purchased (if you have to replace all of your outer parts as well as the PSU)!
