Gamemax RGB-1050 Pro – 4.5 stars on Amazon!

Box & Bundle

Since I had an early sample, there are no photos of the retail box because the samples were sent in a plain cardboard box. To not leave you complaining, here is a photo of my cat, Tom, taking a nap!

The dimensions are large enough for a big PCB, where airflow won’t be compromised. The fan grille has large enough perforations that assist in good airflow, while the exhaust grille follows the typical honeycomb design. At the PSU’s front side, besides the AC receptacle and the power switch, we also find a button for setting up the RGB lighting. On the backside, my sample lacks the ARGB socket for connecting the PSU to a compatible mainboard, from where its RGB lighting can be synced with the rest of the system’s RGB lights.

Cables

Modular Cables - Test Sample
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 20+4 pin (650mm) 1 1 16-20AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (700mm) 1 1 16AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (550mm) 3 3 16AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (500mm) (600W) 1 1 16-24AWG No
SATA (500mm+150mm+150mm+150mm) 1 4 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (450mm+150mm+150mm) 3 9 18AWG No

These are the cables that my sample had. Below is a table with the cables and connectors that retail units are shipped with.

Modular Cables - Retail Units
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 20+4 pin (600mm) 1 1 16-20AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (700mm) 2 2 16AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (550mm+150mm) 1 2 16AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (550mm) 2 2 16AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (500mm) (600W) 1 1 16-24AWG No
SATA (500mm+150mm+150mm+150mm)  2  8 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (450mm) / SATA (+150mm+150mm) 1 1 / 2 18AWG No
4-pin Molex (450mm+150mm) / FDD (+150mm) 1 2 / 1 18AWG No
ARGB Sync Cable (1000mm) 1 1

The number of provided cables and connectors is adequate, and all cables are long enough, with the distance between the peripheral connectors being sufficient, at 150mm. I couldn’t find any information on the gauge thickness for the ATX, EPS, and PCIe cables, so I assumed they use the same gauges as my test sample.

  1. It woulb be nice if you can review the top of the line version, their 1300W. At 149$ USD and with the look … many jump on it too with 6,862 review 4.5 Stars.

  2. I should point out that Gamemax has done promotions in the past where they would offer gift cards in exchange for five-star reviews on Amazon, which dampens their credibility somewhat. Also, given that Jiu Meng is the manufacturer behind Aresgame, if this is a sample from the company and not a unit you bought yourself I am doubtful that what a consumer would get would be the same as what is shown here. Regardless, it’s good to see that they are at least capable of making a good PSU. Thanks for the review as always!
