Apevia TFX-AP300W Standard Flex ATX 300W Power Supply – 115-230V AC, 1 x 20/24Pin Main Power, 1 x 12V(P4), 3 x Pheripheral, 3 x SATA, 1 x Floppy

Replaced a FSP150-50GLT PSU in a Thin Form Factor PC. Fit Perfectly, It’s Quiet, and Works Great.
The Apevia PSU worked perfectly (nice and quiet too) and addressed the issue with the PC not powering on. The PC was really dusty inside after being used for years near the floor in a restaurant. I cleaned it thoroughly when the old PSU was removed. The restaurant owner told me the old PC runs faster than it did before (no doubt due to the CPU throttling down due to the heat build-up). As I recall, the original PSU was 150 watts. It’s nice having a more powerful PSU although I doubt they will add components to this old machine that would require the extra power. Still, if the old one was borderline sufficient, the replacement will be more than sufficient. It’s been about 3 months since installing the Apevia PSU. Given the heavy PC usage, I’m confident this PSU is up to the task and won’t hesitate to shop Apevia in the future.Here’s a portion of an email I sent to the person who asked me to find a replacement PSU that you might find useful…”What made the search difficult is trying to make sure the unit fit the case width reserved for the PSU. There are two metal standups placed 2.625 inches apart. If the PSU is wider, the PSU will not lie flat on the case bottom. Here are the Apevia PSU dimensions:80mm x 170mm x 62mm (3.23″ x 6.75″ x 2.5″) – W x L x HThe unit actually sits sideways in the case with the fan on the side facing toward the inside of the case. As a result, the 2.5″ height is actually the width and the 3.23 width is actually the height. As I mentioned, the case provides a width of 2.625 so it’s about 1/8 inch wider, which should be close enough to accommodate the replacement PSU. The back of the PSU has the plug connector on the top left when the PSU is on its side. This matches the old PSU and where the case expects the plug to be located. Additionally, when the PSU is on its side, there is a screw hole at the top middle and two more on the bottom left and right. This also matches what the case needs.I only found 3 PSUs on Amazon that could fit the case. The Apevia was the only PSU that had only 4 and 5 stars. With any luck, the restaurant’s PC will be working Thursday night. We just have to hope the issue is the PSU.The current PSU says FSP150-50GLT on it. This size PSU is referred to as a TFX (thin form factor) PSU.”

Good TFX form factor, budget price, quiet if set “silent” in the BIOS
The “Slimline” power supply that I bought one year ago (made by Replace Power) finally died. The cooling fan stopped working. Being a TFX form factor, this (of course) limited my choices. This Apevia had okay reviews, and is a reasonable price. So far — after 1 hr — it is running fine. It fits in the spot, has the correct cables/connectors, and the cables are long enough for my application. It is definitely not the quietest PSU I’ve ever had, but for the price I’m okay with it — I’d probably put it in the mid-range. If you want something really quiet, this isn’t it. But if you need a TFX at a budget price, this Apevia may be a decent choice.UPDATE: After a month, I finally sat down and got into the BIOS to set up quiet mode on the PC. Wow, the difference is amazing. Now, if I want to run full graphics mode (i.e. games), I’ll have to go back an put it on performance mode. In the meantime, this’ll do nicely.

TFX-PFC500W Fits Lenovo Ideacentre 510A – 151CB with slight mods
I upgraded my Lenovo Intel i3 8100 90HV001MUS tower with an AMD Radeon w5500 card and knew going into it the OEM power supply would need to be upgraded. This is what I had to do to get this PSU to fit and function.You will need a ATX 24 pin to 10 pin adapter for the main connector. The two 4 pin to SATA power cables that are currently attached to the main board can be eliminated unless you plan to use the laptop style DVD-RW drive. If you do retain that cable.Only one of the 4 pin CPU cables from the new PSU will be used, and only 1 of them fits. It’s just barely long enough to snake under my GPU card and over to the CPU power point. Consider ordering short extension cable when you order the 24 to 10 pin adapter. I considered cutting and splicing to make it longer, I might still do that. For right now it works the way it is.You will need a 180 degree 6 pin GPU redirect adapter if you use the same card I did. There isn’t enough clearance to close the case and plug in the GPU power cable.The plastic mounting tray for the wireless card and NVME HDD interferes with the new PSU, its longer than the old PSU. If you have the M.2 sockets populated with a wireless card and NVME HDD you will need to 3D print (or figure out another solution) stand offs to use those cards. I found an STL file that works on Makerworld.com by a user named Cloverbio.Be prepared to get creative routing cables. There will be a lot of extra you won’t need. If it becomes an issue in the future I plan on opening the PSU up and desoldering cables I don’t need. If you can find a TFX PSU that has a modular cable system it would make your life easier in the long run.

Power box
Apevia TFX-AP300W Standard Flex ATX 300W Power Supply | 115-230V AC | 1 x 20/24Pin Main Power | 1 x 12V(P4) | 3 x Pheripheral | 3 x SATA | 1 x Floppy . This PC Power box is a great power box. It works amazingly quite and powerful for my desktop PC. I love it!

It’s a great power supply, but I bought the wrong size ( needed a 1U height for a server, this was too tall ) and they refunded me quickly without any hassle!

Arrived ahead of schedule, extremely well packaged. Better than the original power supply not only in watts, but has many more connectors and I can now add my third hdd and 2 gig video card.
