Flex 600W

When reading some of the reviews, I was concerned about the fan noise some customers were complaining about. So, I purchased the recommended replacement fan to install. However, after receiving the power supply and connecting it to the motherboard, it is the quietest power supply I've ever installed. Everything works great and I'm very pleased with the power supply. The only problem I encountered was during installation. I had failed to verify the measurements to ensure the new power supply would fit. Fortunately, I was able to find a way to mount the new power supply. I would definitely recommend this power supply to anyone. Just make sure you check the measurements to ensure it will fit into your case.

I received this 600W flex PSU and got it installed. Yay! I’m excited. I power up the PC, it boots. Hurray! I shut down the PC and all goes well. Awesome! But then it’s time to boot the PC and the power button does nothing. I unplug the power cord, wait a few seconds, plug it back in and it boots just fine. Shut it down again and I have to repeat. Well this is annoying. Not the end of the world and something I could deal with, after all, I built this 4.3L PC to move around the house easily so I’d be unplugging it every once in a while anyway. But then it got worse. I boot the PC and it gets to the login screen and the the screen goes black. Ok, I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention and it timed out, but that’s strange, it’s not responding to my mouse or keyboard. I unplug the PC with it still powered on because it wouldn’t respond to pressing the power button even after 30 seconds or so. I plug it back in and it goes to the windows failed to load screen. I click advanced, click start normally and it restarts and gets to the login screen. I type in my password and the screen goes black. Hmmm. I leave it as is and remove the side panel. The CPU fan is no longer spinning but the LED’s are still on. I unplug and plug it back in and try again. I watched the fan come to a stop as the screen went black once again. Ok. Time to verify it’s the power supply. I get a normal SFX PSU out, hook it up and the PC boots just fine. I’m in the Windows environment and run a CPU intensive benchmark. The benchmark runs for 10 minutes no problems. I shut the PC down, press the power button and it boots back up. OK. Flex PSU confirmed pretty much dead. I order a replacement. Send the old one off the same day. The next day I get the replacement and am excited to get it installed. I get it screwed into place, hook up the cables, then my mouse, keyboard and power cord. I power it on and it gets to the login screen. Woohoo! I put in my password and… black screen. I performed the whole unplug, plug back in and boot thing 5 times. Each result the same. I hooked up another PSU, power on the PC and all is well. 0 for 2 now on this PSU model. I ordered both a Silverstone and an Apevia to see how those fair for me. I will update this review later based on my experience with those. *** Update I ordered but never ended up using the Silverstone flex PSU. It’s expensive, but the biggest issue was it isn’t modular. For a $160 PSU, I expect modular. And because it wasn’t modular, the extra cables I didn’t need kept it from fitting in the tiny case I needed it to. Because it wouldn’t fit, I never used it, just returned it. Apevia: this is where it’s at. I’ve ordered probably 30 different Apevia PSU’s over the last several years and I have had 2 DOA. That’s already better than the TF600. I’ll take 1/15 over 0/2 any day. The Apevia model I bought is modular and I’ve now bought 8 or so now. One of them is in a portable case with an i5 13600k and a 4060 Ti and it powers it with no problems. I’ve only had the 2 of 30 DOA and none have failed after installing.

Pedí varias partes nuevas para armar un mini PC, solo me prende unos segundo o 1 minuto y luego se apaga la fuente, probé quitando componentes de uno en uno por si de pronto alguno estaba defectuoso, y solamente queda prendido sin problema cuando queda solo la CPU con el fan o solo la placa madre sola, de resto no sirve, voy a probar con mi antiguo PC, si sirve sin problema en esa la dejare (no es lo ideal, el tamaño justamente es para el mini itx), si pasa lo mismo, mirare si se puede hacer reclamo/devolución, volveré con actualización. Actualización: definitivamente funciona, pero no en el nuevo mini PC que me estoy armando, no entiendo por que, en mi viejo PC, del 2011, actualmente puede correo The First Descendant para tenerlo en cuenta, si funciona bien, alguien sabe si debo modificar algo en mi placa nueva?, es una ASRock 620I LIGHTNING WIFI, con mi fuente anterior, Thermaltake 500W 80 bronce, funciona sin ningún problema

This little guy seems well made is runs quiet. If you need a FLEX PS with enough juice to run a beefy GPU in your little 3d-printed PC you are building (why I bought this :D ) then this is the power supply you are looking for.

Very compact for 600W, I loved the flexibility of the wiring but most all micro ATX MB's have the power connectors in the middle of the board and if you want to use with the Audheid K7 case, you will need an extension for the 24 Pin MB power connector. Not sure how long the fan will last and in reflection I should have purchased the extra warranty. Its long and fairly heavy, so I'm looking for a way to support the far end.

I did about fifteen minutes of research and this is the top 1U power supply I could find. I am currently running it on a build with an i5 13gen intel processor, 16gb of DDr4 ram, and a GEforce 970 (its a mishmash build, I know the parts bottleneck) This has been quiet and effective, so as far as I am concerned, five stars.

DO NOT BUY. This power supply will cause your Chipset to OVERHEAT and fail (I could see it using my FLIR). The PC can post into bios and start Windows but as soon as Windows boots and uses the Chipset gets hot the PC will fail and shut down. If you unplug the power supply let the Chipset cool off and try to restart after a few times of unpluging and trying to get to post into bios (you can stay in bios), but it will fail again after booting into Windows. You can try these cycles over and over it will post but, when it boots into in Windows it will fail (sometimes within seconds or minutes). No Graphics cards or etc. plugged into the Motherboard. IT IS THIS POWER SUPPLY CAUSING THE PROBELM (I tried 2 from this company same results). It is confirmed that it IS the T.F.SkyWindINTL Flex 120v-600w power supply was causing the issue. I bought a Flex 120v-500w power supply from a better brand starts with (APEVIA). Now my Chipset and Motherboard are at normal temps. The AMD 9 7900x, 4060 lp ssf PC build is now completed, tested and has been working prefect.
