Akasa Essential Power 300 W Power Supply Review

Conclusions

Don’t let appearances deceive you. The Akasa Essential Power 300 W (AK-PD030FG) looks like one of those “generic” low-end power supplies, but it isn’t one of them. It is a superior entry-level power supply, with very high efficiency (up to 85.4%), exceptional voltage regulation, very low noise and ripple levels, and we could pull 380 W from it with efficiency still above 80%. The only “problem” with this power supply is that it has a reduced number of connectors, but that is somewhat expected on a 300 W unit. If you are looking for one of the best entry-level power supplies, the Akasa Essential Power 300 W is for you, provided you can find it in your country.

It is a rare occasion to find a pearl in the sea of lousy entry-level power supplies.
