As much as we praise the products of Seasonic, Corsair and Be Quiet, advanced power supplies with gold and platinum certifications remain the prerogative of enthusiasts and demanding users. Most people aren't willing to spend a quarter of their PC budget on a power supply. In such cases, popular power supplies Deepcool Nova and Aurora usually come up in conversation, which over the past 5–6 years have been among the top 10 most popular power supplies on the market. In 2022, Deepcool released a replacement for the old guys in the form of new “people’s” PF power supplies.


A typical representative of the PF series is a neat black box with a minimum of identifying marks and a non-removable cable noodle. Its overall efficiency is due to the presence of an 80+ certificate, and the main +12V power line is capable of delivering more than 90% of the total power of the PSU, which simplifies the connection of modern and power-hungry video cards that are not very suitable for power supplies with a clear separation along the lines. A fan with a hydrodynamic bearing allows the device to operate quietly and reliably for many years, even under heavy operating conditions. The manufacturer doesn't say anything about the circuit design, but given the cost, we wouldn't expect capacitors from Nippon. The manufacturer provides a 2-year warranty on all PF series power supplies.

As for the choice of power, literally any options are actively presented in stores: it all starts with low-power 350-watt models, which are more suitable for office PCs and home multimedia systems. In the center of the spectrum are models with a power of 450 - 550 W, which cover the needs of most gamers. Well, at the top there are 750-watt power supplies capable of powering a fairly powerful work or gaming system with a 16-core Core i7-13700K processor and a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti video card.
