MIFCOM Performance 450 W Review - For Tight Budgets

The PSU comes in a plain box without any fancy graphics and/or logos. Inside the box, you will find the PSU and an AC power cord.


Nothing fancy about the exterior. This is a budget PSU, after all.


There is MIFCOM's stamp on one side, while the other has the power specifications label.


The PSU has a compact footprint.


All the cables are affixed, and the cable-exit hole has a plastic grommet protect them from the edges.

The cables are long enough for a budget PSU and have the 18AWG gauges the ATX specification requires. In some very budget-centric PSUs, thinner gauges (e.g., 20AWG) might be used, which cannot handle increased loads. There are no in-cable caps, and it is nice to see all peripheral connectors 150 mm apart. My only complaint here is the single PCIe connector. This unit could support two of these connectors on the same cable.
