[SOLVED] Is aerocool rave 500watts safe

[Fuzion_1254]

I'm going to be doing a budget build ryzen 3 2200g and 16gb 2666ram and aerocool rave is my only choice because of my budget how long do you think it will last before it takes out or burn other components out

From what I've read....the vast majority of Aerocool power supplies are junk.
As far as how long it will last...I don't think anyone can say for sure....but I wouldn't use it.
I also googled Aerocool Rave reviews....and I basically found "avoid avoid avoid".

I would avoid any Aerocool PSU. They have some good cases, but their power supplies are generally regarded as quite poor quality.

It is safe to use as a door stop.

The others are spot on, don't buy/use that PSU when there are so many other, better choices.

Right. Refuse the shipment when it comes. Tell the parcel delivery person to return to sender.
