Aspire Concord Series 500 Watt Power Supply Review

October 25th 2004 | Cases & Acc.

I overclocked my video card, ran several applications, including a couple of hard drive intensive ones. Then, I checked MBM again. The voltages aren’t off enough to worry about. I like this power supply. Aspire did a good job with it…as I mentioned before, its a complete silent cooling system, for the price of a power supply. And, at $55 USD, the Concord is a nicely priced 500W aluminum cased power supply

Pros:
Aluminum case
All wires sleeved, well heatshrinked, and zip tied
Plenty of connectors
Long wires
Adjustable PSU fan control
PCI slot fanbus controlling up to 5 case fans included
Extra 80mm case fan included
Cons:
Rear of PSU is upside-down in a tower…which may or may not be a con to the user.
+12v is a little low, but within 5%, so also may or may not be a con to the user.
