GAMEMAX recently unveiled its MAX PB Series, a new line of 80 PLUS Bronze power supplies designed to bring modern ATX 3.1 standards to entry-level and mainstream PC builders. These units provide stable power delivery for modern systems without the steep price tag often associated with high-specification hardware.
The defining feature of this lineup is its compliance with Intel’s ATX 3.1 specification. This standard allows the PSUs to manage significant power spikes up to 200% for the entire system and 300% for the GPU, which is critical for the stability of next-generation hardware. The 750 W and 850 W models also include native 12V-2×6 connectors, enabling users to power the latest NVIDIA RTX graphics cards directly and avoid the clutter of external adapters.
Components and Thermal Stability
The internal construction of the MAX PB Series emphasizes durability, utilizing 100% Japanese capacitors from reputable brands like Rubycon and Nichicon. To minimize power loss, GAMEMAX opted for pure copper output cables, which maintain efficiency even during sustained high-load sessions. Cooling is handled by a hydraulic bearing fan with smart temperature control, rated for 40,000 hours of operation to ensure long-term thermal reliability.
Safety is managed by a 16-pin protection IC that implements eight distinct protocols. These include protections against over-power, short-circuits, and over-temperature, ensuring that both the power supply and the connected components remain safe during unexpected electrical events.
Pricing and Warranty
The MAX PB Series is currently available and backed by a three-year warranty. The lineup is priced to remain accessible for mainstream builders:
- MAX P550B: $46.99
- MAX P650B: $49.99
- MAX P750B: $59.99
- MAX P850B: $64.99
