good luck! would appreciate if you share your experience / write a short review once you got it.

i just ordered it with UPS shipping, for $130 USA dollars.

with its 15 day free return option, i don't see how anyone can go wrong, as that's more than enough time to test it, & see if its inside is quality.

i have this now [ https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001406139977.html ] ,and i'm going to have it tested.

but let me say why i think it could be an excellent deal.

its $130 USA dollars, with no international customs fees, taxes included, and UPS shipping.

other AliExpress items add $75- $95 extra, for trackable shipping like UPS, or have you pay a lot extra when it gets to you, for international customs fees.



i'm hoping its around 405W with default, noisy fan; and around 255W with Noctua fan swap.

if it doesn't meet that, i'm going to use the 15 day free return policy.

however, if it gets to 255W with Noctua fan swap, there's no doubt that its a good deal, at only $130 USA dollars with UPS shipping.



i would be shocked out of my mind, if it could get to 330W with Noctua fan swap.

Can you fit the 40x20 Noctua fan, or just the slim one?

if you mean 40 X 10 slim, both will fit, if i actually got the 500W model of what REVOCCASES has.

if this PSU passes testing first, i'll try to post photos.

if it fails, i'll assume they sent the wrong model.

the black color version of this [ http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001971974182.html ] ,in photos at the top, appears to be a 550- 600W model of what @REVOCCASES has.

its more expensive, about $55 more, with slower shipping; & you have to message the seller before it ships, to specifically request the black color unit, with white cables.

i did exactly that & will provide updates, however note for all this extra work,
its less of a value than this : https://www.velkase.com/products/enp-7660b


if you're not going to wait for my updates, don't forget what i wrote above, about messaging the seller before it ships.

good luck to everyone.

The 600 watt doesn't seem worth it, but thank you for looking into this. Velkacase is OOS until September...... That's why I'm looking at this again.

update :


although i was sent the wrong PSU, i used their 15 day returns option, & it was promptly accepted by the seller.

that is far better than any customer service, provided by SFFTEC, to members of this forum, so i'm fully satisfied.

finally, note that their 15 day returns option, also refunds all shipping fees & all taxes.

i'll post another update later, on the other PSU i purchased.

this unit is verified to be a 550- 600W version, of the model REVOCCASES has; it costs around $190,
including shipping & taxes [ http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001971974182.html ]

you'll need to follow the instructions i've provided.

With Velkacase out of stock until December, I might be getting this mode. I'm hoping to receive a MQ6 from Cooj in August.

Thanks for all the details!

using the $8 coupon makes its price around $182, including fees/taxes & standard shipping.

if you're shipping via DHL Express, using the $8 coupon makes its price around $214, including fees/taxes & shipping.

this is the correct weblink : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001971974182.html

Might take a gamble on this one, looks legit:

i would highly advise against that.

if it malfunctions, your entire motherboard and etc. ,could be fried.

instead, note this 500- 550 Watt AliExpress power unit, in black color,
has been fully tested by several SFF Forum members : http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001971974182.html


here are photos of it w/ Noctua fan mod, silver paintjob by Josh | NFC ,& custom case that goes with the AliExpress power unit :

what you found there is fake unfortunately ... you can already see that from the poorly sticked on label ...

the original DELTA FLEX PSUs are a good choice if you are looking for a value FLEX PSU but I would advise to buy only from sellers with good reputation.

YTC is a good seller on TaoBao to look for those PSUs, they also offer pre-modded versions with a Noctua fan. You'll have to use a shopping agent like Superbuy.com, so the purchasing process is a little bit more complicated compared to AliExpress but given how many fake FLEX PSUs I've seen on AliExpress, it's worth the trouble IMHO.
