I'm looking to build a PC without breaking the bank, and I've noticed that the best option for power supplies seems to be from a brand called PCCOOLER. I'm curious if anyone has had experience with their products and knows if they're safe for use in builds. Specifically, what do people think about their reliability?

Could you share which specific PCCOOLER model you're considering? I checked some PSU tier lists, and it's a bit unsettling that PCCOOLER isn't mentioned in SPL's list at all. In Cultists' Network's tier list, two of their models had a C rating, which is pretty average. Also, what’s your budget and where are you located? Pricing and availability can vary a lot depending on the region.
Cybenetics has tested a few PCCOOLER models. Just keep in mind that it's important to look at individual models rather than just the brand as a whole. Even reputable brands can have some models that aren't great. A good sign of a reliable PSU is usually if it comes with a 10-year warranty.
Honestly, I’d be cautious about buying a PSU that doesn't clearly rate their units. For example, if their PSU only provides 480 watts on the 12V rail but is marketed as a 500-watt unit, that’s a red flag. Also, I noticed it’s not listed on their official site which raises more concerns. Plus, lack of certification is definitely something to watch out for.
