Outdated Design but it works

This review is from: LEPA MX-F1 N600-SB 600 W ATX CrossFire Ready Power Supply
Pros:
First of all, this isn't a 600W power supply. But it should be good enough for a decent gaming build. I believe YueLin is the OEM to this power supply.
Fan is very quiet
Good input filter
Good sized heatsinks
Nice cabling
Uses IC for +5VSB
Cons:
This isn't capable of 600W. There's no way that those 14A switchers and an ERL39 transformer can pump out 600W. I would call this more of a 450W PSU, safely. It uses an old group regulated design and it's not the most efficient thing in the world. Chances are though, you don't even need 600W you're probably looking at buying 600W just to be safe. I had this thing power and Pentium D and an 8800GTX OC no problem under load, all the voltages were firm, even after the supply heated up. Newer equipment is much more efficient, so this would be a good PSU if you are on a budget and have a nice video card in your system.
Advertises "Hydraulic Bearing fan" and in reality, it's a Sleeve Bearing fan which is fine, but false advertising annoys me.
Very low quality capacitors. Besides the input, they're all Asia X brand (Resleeved Fuhjyyu, cause of the Antec SmartPower crysis) which are horrible for reliability. If you're pushing this thing hard, the heat is just going to kill those caps faster. I think this is why it only has a 1 year warranty.
Overall Review:
To the first reviewer: Hmmm...you write a completely useless 5 egg review on all these new Lepa MX PSU's with a username "N/A" and they all have 1 thumb up right after you write it, that doesn't seem suspicious at all...
I completely replaced all the capacitors with high quality capacitors, and I trust this thing will last for a very very long time!
