Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 80+ Gold certified efficiency with Active PFC at a 650W rating
  • ✓ Four 6+2-pin PCIe connectors for dual-GPU or high-draw graphics cards
  • ✓ Single +12V rail rated at 83.3A, so there are no rails to balance
  • ✓ Semi-modular layout keeps unused cables out of the case
  • ✓ Thermally controlled 135mm RGB fan with 366 lighting modes

Cons

  • ✗ Built to ATX12V 2.3, with no native 12VHPWR or 12V-2x6 connector listed
  • ✗ Double forward converter, an older design than LLC resonant units
  • ✗ Listed protections leave out over-temperature and over-current
  • ✗ Only 4 SATA connectors, which is tight for builds with many drives

Manufacturer description

The Apevia ATX-PM650W Premier is a 650W 80+ Gold certified power supply with Active PFC for mid-range gaming builds. Its semi-modular design lets you leave unused cables out of the case for cleaner routing and better airflow. The connectors cover most single-GPU and dual-GPU builds. You get one 20+4-pin motherboard connector, two 4+4-pin EPS 12V CPU connectors and four 6+2-pin PCIe connectors. There are also four SATA, four peripheral and one floppy lead. Power comes from a single +12V rail rated at 83.3A, so you never have to balance loads across rails. The other outputs are +3.3V at 20A…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Apevia ATX-PM650W have a 12VHPWR connector for newer graphics cards?

No 12VHPWR or 12V-2x6 connector is listed. The unit has four 8-pin PCIe connectors that split into 6+2, and it follows the ATX12V 2.3 spec. If your card needs a 16-pin connector, you need the adapter that comes with the graphics card.

Why doesn't the power supply turn on when I plug it into the wall?

This is expected. It will not power on just because the cord is connected to the PSU and the wall outlet. Connect all the power supply cables to the PC, including the 24-pin motherboard and CPU connectors, then start it with the case power button.

Will it work with a motherboard that needs a 20-pin or 4-pin CPU connector?

Yes. The 24-pin main connector splits into 20+4, and each 8-pin CPU connector splits into 4+4. To separate them, push one section down and the other up.

How much power does it supply on each rail?

It uses a single +12V rail rated at 83.3A. The other outputs are +3.3V at 20A, +5V at 20A, -12V at 0.3A and +5Vsb at 3A. Total rated output is 650W.

What protections does the Apevia 650W power supply include?

The listing names short-circuit, over-voltage, over-power and under-voltage protection. It also lists a double forward converter design and a large Japanese capacitor. Check the product listing for current warranty terms.
