Chieftec VEGA M 850W ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Average Noise

The PSU’s average noise output is not high.

There is no fan stop feature, but this is totally fine with me, as the fan doesn’t spin at high speeds under light loads. Up to 530W, the fan’s noise level remains below 20 dBA, while the 30 dBA mark is surpassed at 600W. At 725W, the noise enters the 35-40 dBA range.

At 230V, the fan speed profile remains identical to that of the 115V input.

  1. Hello which PSU would you recommend if you had to pick from : Chieftec VEGA M PPG-750-C, Corsair RMe Series RM750e , Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 ATX 3.1 750W. They are priced the same and I am looking for a PSU to pair with my 5070 TI…

    1. I would get the one with the better support in the region, because performance differences are not that dramatic among these. Check for their noise output also (average noise) output.

  2. I’m curious how worried should I be for the inrush current this model has. It is quite competitively priced where I live, and I’m inclined to get it if it is not a big deal in terms of long-term reliability or safety on the secondary side.

      1. Thank you, Aris!
        As I see, the inrush is similar on Cybenetics as well. There is also an option to have the Cougar GEX Pro (650W which is not rated at Cyben) for similar price as well. Although Chieftec’s Vega M seems more reviewed than the Cougar. Which one would you recommend?
        PS – It is amazing to get guidance from professionals like you!

        1. Just retested the Chieftec PSU for inrush current, as expected values are way lower. I cannot say about the GEX Pro 650 since I haven’t tested it or at least I don’t remember doing so, my team 🙂

          1. Thank you for your guidance and updated information! I do not have any second thoughts about the Chieftec then! 🙂
