Discussion Flex MF650F it's good?

[Sim567]

Hi, I bought the power supply in question, but I don't know how it is qualitatively, the mf600 and mf700 platinum I found on the forum that they are good, but I have not found much about this.
I put some photos of the interior, is it possible to understand at least if it is good or poor?

i would highly suggest that you return this, to get your money back, & then follow my directions in post# 29 [ https://smallformfactor.net/forum/t...e-on-flex-power-unit.16509/page-2#post-248356 ] ,to get a high quality PSU.

as others have noted before, a bad quality power unit can fry your motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, and other parts.

its just not worth it.

follow my instructions instead.

How do you understand that it is of low quality? And how low?
Regardless of whether some can be better, the other from the post also costs $ 60 more.

How do you understand that it is of low quality? And how low?

your PSU is " counterfeit " or " fake " ,because you were scammed.


i'm warning you about this, with excellent advice free of charge.

for $60 more, your motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, and other parts will not be fried.

or for $60 less, take your chances.

@Instran0,

The question was "How do you understand that it is of low quality?"

Perhaps you can explain like.. what do you see from the picture that says it's low quality? Perhaps bad capacitor, or bad soldering job?

Kindly note that not all of us are technically as sound as you, so such explanation would be great

Looking at the internals you got one of those units that sell under many different names and is frequently used in fake/lower quality flex PSUs.

For example here they sold it as DELTA 500W PSU:

Power Supply - Failed Delta DPS-500AB-5B questions

Hi, I just had an Ebay purchased Delta DPS-500AB-5B 500W platinum rated power supply fail pretty spectacularly. Upon opening it up, I discovered that the general build quality and general layout/materials did not match up with the previous Delta 400W gold rated unit I had used in a previous...

You can compare your pictures with the teardown I did on the MF-700F

Power Supply - Review / Teardown | 700W Modular FLEX Power Supply from TaoBao 7760B (MF-700F)

Update: OVERTEK now offers the original ENHANCE 7660B pre-modded with a Noctua fan for a reasonable price and full warranty. I would probably go for that one instead of the TaoBao 7760B. Update 2: there seems to be a new revision of the MF-700F being sold with totally different modular cables /...

The legit MF-600F should look pretty much the same internally as it's made by the same OEM, called "Extreme Cat" . You may check out their channel on BiliBili:

If you want to save money when buying a FLEX PSU just get a second hand / modded server PSU from a well known seller on taobao, like YTC for example.

@Instran0,

The question was "How do you understand that it is of low quality?"

Perhaps you can explain like.. what do you see from the picture that says it's low quality? Perhaps bad capacitor, or bad soldering job?

what i mean is that in China, the external cases to these power units are sold separately OEM, from its " internals " which are also sold separately OEM.

imagine a car example, where someone buys the shell of a 2021 Mercedes Benz, but scams by putting inside an engine from a 1951 Pinto.

i looked at his photos, & that's what appeared to me.

when sellers are located in China, they have access to buy parts separately OEM.

@REVOCCASES also explains this well above.

Thanks both @Instran0 and @REVOCCASES.

@Sim567 hopefully these info can help you in deciding which PSU to choose.

Thanks, so it's clearer, then only possibly the platinum mf600/mf700 variants from aliexpress, or from taobao Ytc(just need to figure out how to get it shipped to eu)

no, its more complicated than that.

you should buy from only the specific AliExpress seller that we're recommending, & then follow my instructions, in post # 29 [ http://smallformfactor.net/forum/th...e-on-flex-power-unit.16509/page-2#post-248356 ]

other AliExpress sellers have not been verified.

Buyer beware !!!!
