Logisys PS600A12 Power Supply Review
Conclusions
Contents
We were surprised to discover that power supplies with fake wattages and fake 80 Plus logos were being sold in the United States and, of all places, at Newegg.com. We thought it was illegal to sell this kind of junk in America.
The Logisys PS6000A12 has “garbage” written all over it. It is labeled as 600 W continuous and 630 W peak, but it burned when we tried to pull 375 W from it. It has a fake 80 Plus logo (power supplies without PFC circuit can’t be certified, since the 80 Plus certification requires a minimum of 0.90 power factor). Efficiency was between 72% and 78%, and the +5 V output presented voltages above the maximum allowed all the time, which can lead to computer malfunction. It has an ugly color. It has an obsolete design. And the worst part: it is too expensive.
For the same USD 40 you can buy the Corsair CX430, which is a far better power supply and is the product we recommend if you are on budget.
