Raidmax Hybrid 730W ATX12V/ EPS12V Power Supply RX-730SS

I've had this for about 5 years 0 issues just get it a filter unlike me trust me you need it it pulls a lot of air stays very cool bc of that so it will last a while it has for me at least

ok so this Raidmax company deserve a review. i bought a Raidmax power supply 530W almost 10 years ago (2014), up until now it still work perfectly. Recently i decided new mother board, new CPU, and i also wanted a new power supply. After a thoroughly research just to found out that a new power supply now a day is over $100, i decided to give Raidmax another chance and bought the Raidmax Hybrid 730W. There is no regret. Beside the main power, everything else are modular. it works the way it supposed to be, fan runs with no noise. Dont know how much power have left, but i have one hard drive, one DVD drive, 3 RGB fans, and an old video card. enought said, being un-brand name does not mean that they are not good.

This is a good power supply that runs quietly. You should know that the picture shown for the product does not represent the actual product you will receive. In the picture you will see a red button, this is used to turn off the blue led lights inside the power supply. This button did not exist on the products I received. I contacted RaidMax support and the said that the marketing department has told them the button is no longer installed on the power supplies.If you don't want those led lights you will either have to return the product or do what I did and take the cover and fan off of the power supply and cut the wires going to the 4 lights. It only takes about 10 minutes and from what I can see, shouldn't harm the power supply.

I know there are a lot of bad reviews on this product, mainly stating it is a re-badged 500 watt no name supply. I disagree. We use it to power a Dual Xeon X5150 server with 6 300 GB Ultra320 SCSI Hard Drives, and when I check the power levels, even with a multi-meter, they are fine. Just to run the processors, a 500 watt supply is a minimum, and then 6 SCSI hard drives... This is a performer. Granted, a blue light is not really a requirement for a server, but it looks nice in its modified full tower case, and there's a button to turn it off.Hybrid simply means the motherboard power cord is NOT modular. There are plenty of extra cables for SATA and 6 and 8 pin video card connectors. The EPS12V connector is a 4+4, and worked fine for our needs. If you need a second EPS12V connector, simply buy it separate and connect it to a molex connector like we did. The main 20+4 connector was plenty long enough to reach from a bottom mount PSU to the top of a EEB (basically an E-ATX) motherboard and had enough slack to feel safe.I will be buying a few more, as we recently got awarded a contract and need to build 17 more servers.

I installed this power supply last night in my new build. I had slight reservations because Raidmax hasn't always had the best reputation about quality, but these days this power supply has solid reviews and it's a real good price, so I gave it a shot.Can't complain about anything so far. Everything was included that should be there, power's working fine, fan works, blue LED works, everything seems good at the moment. I haven't yet done anything intense on the computer yet, that'll be tonight. But I'm not anticipating any problems.Bragging about my new system:Ryzen 3800xASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4OLOy 16gb 3200 MHZ RAMSilicon Power 1TB 3400 Read/3000 Write M.2 2280 NVMeAsus OC Dual-Evo RTX 2080 SUPERRaidmax Hybrid 2 RX 730WDeepcool Gamerstorm Baronkase (Which came with a Deepcool Captain 120mm AIO installed)

Hybrid power supply, very dependable, and the lowest price Modular hybrid on the market.

Should not buy this product, if for any reason the customer service alone. The power supply that I got worked fine for about a month or two before it started shorting out sporadically and would often shut down my computer mid-use. When I attempted to contact the seller of the product through an email, hoping I had gotten a defective model which they would replace, I received no help or even any indication of notice. The product itself may work fine as far as I can tell, but tread lightly for this seller is not customer friendly and buying this is a huge gamble. You will not get your money back if it stops working.

It works well, it's powering my build with three hard drives and a geforce gtx 680. So far this PSU has been through two computer cases and two video cards. If your case installs PSUs at the bottom, it will defeat the purpose of the blue LED. The PCI-E express connector is adequate, as it has two 6-pin connectors with an option to make them 8-pins.What's annoying is the noise the fan makes. My build has 8 fans. 3 intake fans, 2 on the video card, one on the CPU, one on the exhaust fan, and the fan on this PSU. The PSU fan is the most noticeable because it has this steady chirp to it. It's not a loud chirp, and it's easy to tune it out, but it's there nonetheless.
