I am an avid fan of VIP PSUs. Have installed atleast 5 different models of VIP in friends’ systems over last 10 years. Never had a single problem. They run silent, generate less heat, and respond well in case of power problems.

I bought VIP GOLD 500W PSU 2 yrs back but now it has started to burn everything inside the case. My PC shuts down after few minutes, an hour and mostly when playing games, I have to unplug & re-wire the cables until the system boots normally. I had to RMA my XFX 8800 gt (2nd one) which died few days back. I thought it was a heat issue but wasn’t. I tried this PSU with another PC and that one didn’t boot but it worked fine with my rig……WEIRD. It also used to make squeaking sound when I scrolled my mouse, but it stopped. Power loads affect this PSU in the long run otherwise it’s fine. Will RMA it ASAP.

Final say: It’s a good PSU considering the price. I had no issues for 2 yrs, but always go for extra watts. I should have bought a 600W PSU.

If its under warranty RMA it !
