It arrived in excellent condition and was well packaged. Inside the box were 110 AC cable, the PSU, a bag with 4 screws for mounting the unit and some documentation. The bundled cables are all black but are not sleeved or in my opinion properly bundled presenting as a loose grouping of individual wires with only 2 zip ties installed to group each cable bundle . I placed a 4" zip tie every 3" to each cable bundle to prevent a rats nest of all the loose wires going every where within the build. It looks much neater now even in a case with minimal cable management capability such as the one I am using for this project, a Rosewill FBM-01 mini tower. I am still waiting for a FM2+ MoBo to arrive to finish putting together the project.I did, however, pretest this PSU with a power supply tester and all the output lines are working properly. I'll supply more info when the build is complete and fully burned in. For now everything seems OK so it looks like I won't have to send this PSU back to Amazon based on my preliminary testing.Here's the tester I use to pre-check PSU's I bought this after installing a dead PSU better a pre check than a disassembly.https://www.amazon.com/Computer-PC-Tester-Connectors-Enclosure/dp/B076CLNPPK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2T0Q4ADFHBPOM&dchild=1&keywords=power+supply+tester+for+atx%2Fsata%2Fhdd&qid=1597075680&sprefix=power+supply+test%2Caps%2C228&sr=8-4EDITGot a FM-2 Mo-Bo and installed a A10-5700 APU and a Asus 750-TI with a 8GB set of Ram a 128GB TeamGroup SSD boot drive and a 500 GB Seagate data HDD. I also included a DVD burner as I have a stack of them to get rid of. I placed all of that in a Rosewill FBM-01 case, a little tight wo/ great cable management space but OK. The system has been running great since it was built on August 18th. As we have no issues for a full month from the build generally and specifically the Captain 550 PSU I am happy with the power supply performance thus far. If any issues arise in the future, although unexpected in this undemanding build, I will revisit my review.2nd edit. It's the end of October and the unit is still running just fine. No BSD's of shutoffs or any other janky behaviors. For my use as a secondary computer for internet surfing and light gaming it meets my needs. I wouldn't use it in a more demanding rig doing video editing or class "A" games. I use my Ryzen R9 3950 PC for that but this unit comes in handy for when I am rendering video projects or when I am having Lara Croft kick some butt. Perhaps this PSU could do it but why torture myself on a basic computer to see. Anyway if you are building a budget PC then it would probably meet your needs too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had terrible experience with Apevia power supplies in the past, not any more *by on Reviewed in the United States August 9, 2024* Used on several basic computer buildsCost at the time of purchase: $26Pro 1: Affordable and just works. I have been purchasing this PSU for over two years and have had no issues with failure when used correctly.Pro 2: Comes with a 6+2 pin graphics power cable.Pro 3: Includes screws which is convenient.Con: Not really a durable 550 watt power supply. Running mid high to high end components will eventually cause premature failure on power supplies in this price range.Pro Tip: Only use with mid to low end spec components without overclocking. Don’t ever consider running with an i9 14900K or a RTX 4070 for example. ### ⭐ DO NOT BUY! *by on Reviewed in the United States March 8, 2026* DO NOT BUY! One day I started to smell something burning I thought it was just someone in the kitchen that was cooking. Then a few hours later I hear a popping sound and my computer wouldnt turn on. It didn't fry my motherboard luckly but I had to buy a new power supply that was much more expensive. ## Frequently Bought Together - Apevia CAPTAIN550 ATX Power Supply with All Black Cables - Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L Micro-ATX Tower with Magnetic Design Dust Filter, Transparent Acrylic Side Panel, Adjustable I/O & Fully Ventilated Airflow, Black (MCB-Q300L-KANN-S00) - AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/207459716-apevia-captain550-atx-550w-power-supply-550w-atx-power-supply](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/207459716-apevia-captain550-atx-550w-power-supply-550w-atx-power-supply) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
