That PSU that you have linked to is utter rubbish. It is badged as 500w but can only do 200W on the 12V rails, and 250W in total? It's junk.

Other than that I have unfortunately no idea what you are saying with the rest of your post.

I would personally never recommend to buy a PSU unless you know it is going to be high quality. I have had too many issues with crappy or broken power supplies causing hard reboots that I no longer risk trying to find a "good deal" on a PSU.

If you are going to spend more than you think you need to on any component, the PSU should be it.

The "500W" label on that is a blatant lie.

Don't buy it.
If you already own it, buy something else. Then, crush this thing with a hammer so that no one else can use this pile of junk.

This isn't amazing, but it is a similar product in a similar price range that will undoubtedly be a more secure purchase:

It is "fake", because the label says several different things.
"500W", and "250W", and the other numbers do not add up to either.

Anyone can print a label.
Can the electronics actually deliver on that printed number? No.

you win my credit xd

So they're asking you why that psu is bad, and the first one to get it right gets a Coolermaster PSU?
That's like asking someone to identify a poisonous mushroom and if they get it right they can eat it.

Wow thats so generous of you. You will find this forum filled with helpful people who can help you LEARN a lot about computers so you can answer these questions yourself instead of just trying to use us for your own personal gain to win a contest. Since this thread has run its course already I'm closing it. And on a personal note, I hope someone else who actually knew the answer wins.

Nobody wins when a Cooler master PSU is the prize. That's a losing proposition all the way around.

If someone gave me a low-end Cooler Master PSU, I think I'd call the police and report an attempt assault.
