Seventeam V-Force 650w

Conclusion

The Seventeam has proved itself to be very effective in terms of efficiency and PF rating and certainly lives up to its certification of 80PLUS Bronze.

Unfortunately, the rail stability isn’t what it could be and it does vary quite a bit – the 12V rail mainly – which could certainly be improved upon. The results are by no means bad but having said that I would like to see the rails a little tighter.

Overall, this is a good mid-range PSU that is certainly not a bad choice especially for the more eco-conscious amongst us.

Pros	Cons
Great PF ratings	Slightly loose 12V rail
Low power consumption	A larger fan would give better noise levels
Reasonable 3.3V and 5V rails
Quite attractive
