Is The Cougar 500w vte reliable?

[averageguy589]

I can’t find anything on these vte power supplies, and when I do it’s not very helpfull. Can someone tell me if it’s good and not just say “It’s not evga so it’ll explode” Evga’s are expensive :/

If you can't find much info on a PSU brand it means it's not well known and is one to be avoided. Ask yourself why it's a lot cheaper than EVGA, Corsair & Seasonic PSUs? Answer: poor quality.

it could be a hidden gem though. the reviews are positive and i was just thinking maybe if some psu god that knew stuff about transistors and stuff came along he could tell me if it is a gem ( also its not dirt cheap chinese price )

It's a low end PSU. Loose electrical performace, not so good build quality. https://forums.voz.vn/showthread.php?t=6679221

What other power supplies are available to you? Where are you buying from?

"positive reviews", from where?
Amazon and Newegg user reviews don't count.
