Pros & Cons
Pros
This is where it's at if you are building and itx pc. This this kicks but it really does! Works great in my mini-itx build with a pico psu. Been working very well for my tiny htpc setup, though.
Cons
The psu is defective doa. Inaccurately advertised at 240w while truly rated to accept upto 240 volts. Not even a case of you get what you pay for. I have one of those watt usage and system wasn't pulling more than 55 watts.
Highlights
Quality
This power brick works great for micro compact builds i used a z390 i with an i7 9700k overclocked to 5.
Works great, it can get a little warm but i feel safe to leave it running 24/7.
Any of the 12v/12a/144w adapters would work and they will still push the barrel jack to it's limits.
One of the systems has been used 10 hrs a day for the past 5 years.
Price
It will be cheaper and safer overall.
There are cheaper options available on other online stores but for $40 its not that bad either.
Shipping
This unit did arrive with a 240w rating.

Just be aware that trying to push 240w through a barrel jack like this one has is probably going to cause some sort of melting

You can only push about 120w through a barrel jack before it starts to get really hot so if youre not going to be able to use all 240w without putting a different end on it i would recommend something less powerful and cheaper

This was an exact model number replacement for a failed power supply
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I purchased two of these and i dont know if this is a permanent state of affairs or something that settles down when the psu has been 34burnt in34 but both supplies exhibit very significant coil whine at least i believe its what they call coil whine having never heard it before they have rubber feet and its 75cm 30 inches to the back of my desk where they are sitting but they can still be heard quite clearly bare this in mind when you are making your purchase

While i have not and will probably never run them out full load basic testing shows that they are functioning as expected

This power supply does work as designed but it is not recommended for audio applications due to the lack of adequate filtering circuitry
