RAIDMAX PSU - HOW BAD IS IT

[my414]

I just ordered a quick replacement for a generic 400 watt psu inside my system that was making a grinding noise and failing to properly power my pc

The psu I just ordered is a
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-730SS

Yes I know it has really bad reviews and its bad quality I just need something that can deliver 400 watts of steady power and I liked the blue led fan and low price.

I wanted to ask... how bad is it really

I have a 5750 1gb
and amd phenom ii x6
with a few other basic things

Can I use this psu without is blowing up in my face

After reading the reviews I was a bit disapointed but I needed a psu fast and well this is what I got... sadly

so I would like your feedback please

Wouldn't risk it.

On a scale of 1-10 it'd be in the negatives.

This is what I think when I think raidmax:

lol amuffin is right anyway it's Tier 5 - WORST OF THE WORST NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP if you have one. source: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

No doubt, it's one of the worst of the worst, BUT, at least with that system, you're not really pushing it very hard.

It's slowly killing his system.

True, but at least it shouldn't literally blow up. :lol: (Not that I would put that past it, even under low loads, I suppose, lol).
