Conclusion
With the
GPM-650C Chieftec
released a solid mid-rage power supply. There is a costly AC filtering stage, a high
end fan as well as excellent Nippon Chemi-Con capacitors, which - amongst other parts -
add up to an overall good product. All the components mentioned comply with hight
standards and therefore it's a pity we had to find Chinese capacitors on the
secondary side. Nevertheless this is a reliable PSU, which is esily capable of
providing power to a mid-range gaming system.
The Navitas 650W is an overall solid power supply and apart from that Chieftech is
selling it at an attractive price point. We find this unit on Geizhals with
prices starting at 92.90 Euro. The only thing we would really like to see
changed is the warranty. Chieftech only offers two years of coverage. Other PSU
vendors offer up to seven years warranty.
The Chieftec Navitas 650W receives
good 4 out of 5
stars.
