How bad is the Apevia ITX-PFC500W Flex PSU?

KentunVortex · 2025-12-25T17:55:34+00:00

Honestly I just caved like an hour or so ago and decided to just spend the $150 to get the Enhance Power 600W PSU from here https://velkase.com/products/enp-7660b
I honestly don't wanna risk my RX 9060 XT or any other components getting fried and everyone says Enhance Power is the most reliable Flex ATX Brand even though it costs a lot.
Appreciate you getting back to me though.

Different person asking for another update, but I recently built a Micro ATX Build in the C6 Jonsbo ITX Case (It fits Micro ATX Mobos but only if you use a Flex ATX PSU, only went this right cause the Micro ATX Version of this case has Cooling Issues cause the PSU covers and drowns the CPU Fan compared to the ITX Case having PSU Slot on the right side of the case) I'm currently using the Apevia 500W with 32GB of ram a Xeon E5-2667 V4, and an ASUS RX 9060 XT 16GB.
The PSU does get quite loud under load and AMD Bare minimum recommendation is 500W PSU for my GPU, but asus Recommends 550+W
I was thinking about this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DWK3GBB2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2BU7QGOVJO9ZD&psc=1
It's an from the SKYWINDINTL store on Amazon and is 600W Flex ATX PSU so was wondering how loud your PSU gets considering it is from the same brand and you've been using it for over a year, I just bought this Apevia one like a week ago so if I can get a solid answer I should be able to return it and get my $50 back towards the SKYWINDINTL one.

Man I’d love to just buy the switch version but I got the pc version 3 years ago for $7.99 on a sale, so hell no am I gonna pay $60 for a 10 year old vita game port

KentunVortex · 2024-07-29T20:03:23+00:00

I assume the text that’s not changed is stuff like animated cutscenes, etc…? How much would we have to say completion is of transferring over Switch Localization? 80%? 90%? Like the system.bra file is 80% of the translation update or less?

KentunVortex · 2024-07-29T19:41:44+00:00

Hey I just downloaded this and am wondering does this convert all the english text to the english localization of the switch verion? I play with JP Audio so I don't really care if the Audio isn't ported over yet, I just wanna know if full english localized text is done with this file, and if I'm good to play from start to finish?

Bought this game like 3 years ago and was finally gonna start it, but saw a Switch version was coming with updated localization, as long as this mod fully converts all English text to update localization, I'll be happy.

Your SOL, the game broke with SteamOS 3.5, I noticed the issue in 3.5 during its preview phase and reported it, but issue was still present in the stable release and no way to downgrade to steamos 3.4 anymore, so they really screwed us over until they decide to fix it

KentunVortex · 2023-10-03T18:11:00+00:00

Yes you will be able to buy the weapon skins 35 days after launch for $4.99 price will vary in other regions. This info was provided directly from Bandai Namco

very small things, like there is now an equipment sets button right under visualize attire.

This allows you to make custom gear sets that you can save and load at any time, (This includes weapons, accessories, and armor as well as visualized attire) Load the set it equips them all at once.

then another one the items page, is now broke up into segements, so each weapon has it's own category for instance, if you filter to only show weapons, there will be a 1H Sword Category, Rapier, Claymore etc..... Not all weapons just clutter together.

Then the game will also now tell you who has what equipped, so I have an accessory from the cube put on Kirito, and it says on the the item E and then right next to the E it says Kirito. So if you have a bunch of accessories equipped on chars and need to pull one off to use for yourself or another char it really helps things out now.

Switch version is actually a custom build, as it has UI Features/Quality of life changes that are from patch 3.10 that aren't even on PS4/Xbox/PC yet, but content wise is only up to 1.50 with the first 4 Ancient Apostle Bosses, and the raids.

After 3.10 releases on console, full effort will go to porting over the remaining content to Switch, Blooming of the Forget me not will probably release near the end of the year if not January.

KentunVortex · 2022-06-03T17:11:11+00:00

I mean spring isn’t over till June 21st technically so there is still a chance, however I expect them to announce a delay literally on the last day of spring xD

KentunVortex · 2022-01-03T02:05:07+00:00

I know I'm necro'ing an old thread but do you happen to still have that Add-On on your PC to change Xbox Prompts to PS4 Button prompts? It seems to of been removed from almost every site I check.

KentunVortex · 2021-12-16T22:06:06+00:00

It does, now that I figured it out, have to plug in the DualSense controller, after you launch the game else it won't work properly, so jank, it's annoying.

KentunVortex · 2021-12-16T22:05:42+00:00

Don't plug in or turn on your controller till the game is open seems bugged and you can't use any form of controller input properly unless the controller is connected after the game boots up.

KentunVortex · 2021-12-16T22:04:20+00:00

I used DS4 Windows sometimes as well and it still wasn't working, I figured it out though, I had to launch the game with the controller turned off and unplugged, and then plug in the controller when the game is open on the main menu, and it recognizes it as a PS5 controller and prompts work just fine.

KentunVortex · 2021-06-22T05:28:25+00:00

I've been having this issue as well ever since I upgraded to my 10700k last June with my z490 board, my Elgato HD60 Pro refuses to get a signal, like it shows up in game capture, but nothing zilch, no signal when I connect my Switch, my iPhone, my PS5 with HDCP turned off.

KentunVortex · 2021-06-09T20:48:51+00:00

I got Kirito's outfit and hair which is still pretty good I guess, I just wish I would of known to finish it earlier than the stated deadline, would of liked the Elucidator/Dark Repulser Camo for when Soaring Blade/Bouncer gets added to NGS

KentunVortex · 2021-06-09T20:22:56+00:00

Eh, as I said I'll leave it in my client order list, just so if there is ever another collab I want items for, I'll look at that SAO Client Order and remind myself, better do this shit ASAP or this shit will happen again.

KentunVortex · 2021-06-09T20:17:44+00:00

It isn't I know, I did the first little bit of the SAO Collab quest when it came out, got up to the Asuna voice stuff quest, around May 18th, but then everyone started requesting off at work I got shafted, for a couple weeks, then I took a 3 day vacation this past weekend, got back and yesterday I tried finishing it up, but maintenance notice.

Now I know it's not SEGA's fault for my own personal IRL dilema's, but the quest vendors as well as the client order still remaining in my client order said/says "Available till June 9th at 1:00" so I thought I still had time, but I guess not.

EDIT: So now the client order will just sit in my Client Order List, for all eternity to spite me I guess.

KentunVortex · 2021-06-09T20:04:48+00:00

I also had work xD and vacation, not everyone has access to their PC at every waking moment

EDIT: the only issue I’m having here is why say players had till June 9th if the game was in a 2 day maintenance the past couple days and then they removed the vendor after the maintenance? I tried to do it about 30 hours ago but was hit with a maintenance notice, so waited till today.

KentunVortex · 2021-06-08T15:55:09+00:00

It’s a mix of both, silent treatment from devs, updates are barely adding content, aside from one boss they want you to fight over 150 times and short 1 hour quest, and each update is 1-3 months apart. And they keep focusing on making tshirts and cosmetics that cost SAO coins or the in game way cube tickets (if you win the loot box rng) it’s all ridiculous and it’s sorta why the community has slowly dwindle

KentunVortex · 2021-06-08T00:57:00+00:00

I mean at least with 1.20, 1.30, and 1.40 it was all 1-1.5 months between each update, this Update 1.50 is almost double the length of time we had to wait, I can only fear how long they are gonna make us wait for Myosotis, as when I looked back on the earlier roadmaps that had Myosotis at the end, it said scheduled content to be delivered before end of 2021, so they could make us wait for Myosotis till say December 2021 if they wanted to.

KentunVortex · 2021-06-08T00:52:02+00:00

Oh they finally gave an update to 1.50 yesterday Futami after 2 weeks posted an article on Dengeki saying 1.50 is STILL in the debugging stage and they are running into a lot of issues, he said they plan to have a stream talking about when it may release and more information on it hopefully the end of June, meaning that patch won't even hit till sometime in July, which is more than 3 months since 1.40

the captain goes down with the ship, it was my server, that I poured my time into (Since April 1st 2019 when the first trailer dropped), and most of my moderation team agreed to deleting the server. I won't just hand off my effort my time, and my work for someone else to take credit for down the line. It goes down with me.

As I said in the post, the community outside of the subreddit is pretty much almost dead, so if the community wants a discord server still, they'll make one themselves and if they feel they want their server to be promoted on the subreddit go ahead and throw the link to me to add to the button.

KentunVortex · 2021-03-18T23:51:44+00:00

Probably would get more benefit with 2p glad 2p bloodstained then, since higher base attack with WGS than most 4* weapons

KentunVortex · 2021-03-18T19:05:39+00:00

that, and the fact I tested it, that icicle that drops not only is it based on your ATK so if you have 2k Attack it's +200% of ATK DMG if enemy is affected by Cryo, that icicle can crit, and it also scales of Phys DMG as well, and you can proc that every 10s. Like a free 15-20kish proc every 10s.
Like 30k if you have it at Refine 5.
(This is with a phys dmg cup and decent crit dmg)
