[SOLVED] Are Antec Value Power PSUs good?

[Insane Potatoz]

Hey everyone, I was wondering if the Antec Vaue Power 550w (VP550F) was of at least decent quality.
I haven’t had experience with them and am not super familiar with reading PSU labels.
Thanks!

If you were running a PC with an APU or a low end GPU then maybe, but even then I would not recommend the VP550F. The fact that this PSU only has a 3 year warranty, gives away the quality.

There are VP-F 80 Plus and Bronze. Bronze one stands out of all other Antec VP series PSUs in fact, it's Delta made unit with DC-DC secondary topology, reviews are sparse but it looks like decent budget PSU if it's cheap enough. Aris did test 650W version but results for it should be comparable to 550W Bronze version.

So the bronze rated VP PSUs are substantially better than the white rated ones?

Yes, that's what i said. White are based on similiar platform, Delta OEM too but they're group regulated which is not good for any modern non-APU build due to poor voltage regulation.
