If you are in the market for a new power supply there are no shortage of options this year. Kitguru does often place a focus on expensive, high end PSU's, however we know not everyone can afford them. With this in mind today we look at a bargain basement offering from Aerocool – the new Integrator 600 watt unit. With a bargain basement price just over £30 we have to ask – is it any good at all?
The Aerocool Integrator 600 watt has been launched to target the low end of the enthusiast audience. Those people who are forced to work with a very restrictive budget. You can forget luxuries such as modular cabling, high efficiency ratings and fancy digital interface cables – when meeting such a strict price point certain compromises have to be made.
The AeroCool Integrator 600 Watt is said by the company to achieve 85% efficiency, but they have not certified it for the 80 Plus Bronze rating.
Aerocool seem fairly confident about this new unit as they offer a 2 year warranty with it. The supply itself is a reference design by HEC – an OEM who have earned a reputation for creating many inexpensive yet workable budget power supplies. HEC can be a little hit and miss at times – so it will interesting to see how this specific model performs.
