It is cheap, 80 plus bronze, rated decently

looks good to me, how does it stack up dudes? I have never bought a psu from them

One of the posters on Partpicker claims it’s a fraudulent 80+ rating. Not sure. I have never used a coolmax.

I’d stick to more reputable manufacturers like Antec, Seasonic, Corsair and high end Rosewill.
