CONCLUSION
Whenever a new player like GAMEMAX makes an appearance on the global market to me that’s a very good thing. After all competition always results in better products at lower prices. The main question is whether or not the products introduced are worth your money and well, the Rampage GX1050 Pro certainly does. Granted, it’s a bit rough around the edges (no hybrid fan mode, Taiwanese secondary capacitors and internal layout could be better) but it does deliver very good rail stability even at just over 100% load. The 135mm fan used with the GX1050 Pro is almost inaudible at up to around 300W but by the time it reaches 700W+ it most likely spins at full speed (still, it’s not really louder compared to those used in most similar output power supply units). What about cost, however?
Right now, the GAMEMAX Rampage GX1050 Pro retails for USD159.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for around 105Euros inside the EU so it’s priced extremely well. Again, it’s may not be the perfect ATX 3.1 & PCIe 5.1 unit and being manufactured by a rather unknown company like Sohoo could drive away some potential buyers but it does produce very good results (at least my sample did) for a very tempting price tag, so the Golden Award is in order.
