Comparing two PSUs ?
Comparing two PSUs ?
Same price means same value?
Both seem comparable at this level, though one might be slightly better depending on your needs.
With these details, I don’t have much choice—maybe switching power or rating would help.
Why think about a lower quality PSU?
🤔
€20 for a worse PSU sounds steep.
I’d prefer Thermaltake GF1 or Corsair RMx—both top-tier, durable options. They’ll serve you well for years.

Hey there,
@Aeacus could check it out. They seem to understand their PSU's well.
You're welcome. Explore the tiered models available here:

You received a summons and are present now.
Design details: unless your PC case accommodates the L-shaped unusual PSU, it won't work.
Technical specs: https://lian-li.com/product/edge/
Alternative: solid Tier A PSU.
German bulk caps, dual-chamber L-shape layout, modular connections on the main board.
Standard ATX PSU.

At present, no credible reviews have evaluated the PSU's safeguards, so its durability remains uncertain. However, preliminary data suggests it might be a Tier A unit. A thorough assessment is still required for confirmation.
Otherwise, version 1.0 corresponds to ATX 3.0 and version 1.1 to ATX 3.1 (replacing 12VHPWR with 12-2x6).
I'm not sure if the Lian-Li PSU will fit in your planned PC case.
Because the Lian-Li PSU features an L-shaped design, its total length is 183mm.
The Pop Air Mini model lists a maximum PSU size of 150mm, but this might be limited by the 3.5" HDD cage installed.

The protruding part of the PSU could obstruct the 3.5" HDD tray, preventing it from fitting inside.
However, the tray can be removed easily.

Even so, managing cables would be difficult. Since the PSU is mounted with a fan facing down, the L-shape would be at the top. It's best to connect all cables to the PSU before inserting it.
Other parts look good.
By the way, isn't DeepCool approved in the US/EU because of the modifications they made?
🤔
I wasn't expecting to look into it, but I'll consider it. It's a shame though, the visuals of the digital ak620 are great.
