CONCLUSION

   When Antec reached out to us and asked if we’d like to test their new Value Power VP700P Plus 700W PSU we knew that it wouldn’t be able to match their HGC models something which is clear from our charts. Of course you can’t expect an entry-level model to match mid and high end models so I can’t say that we were disappointed or surprised by the results (worth pointing out is that in order to not push the unit to its limits and then some instead of using our second configuration which would require over 700W of power we used our primary one which required just over 600W for our tests). Rail stability is good for an entry level model (although again far from the HCG models by Antec) and noise levels are less than what we were expecting (still if you were to push the PSU to 650-700W noise levels would increase) and as for build quality it’s certainly many levels higher compared to what you’d get from a cheap OEM unit.

   So just how much are you required to send to get your hands on the VP700P PLUS by Antec? Unfortunately since the VP700P Plus was just launched we were unable to locate it on any of the large retailers but judging by its predecessor it should land in the USD60-70/60-70euros price range (since its not written in stone however we’ll update this review when it becomes available). Overall the VP700P Plus although certainly nothing special is still worth your attention if you’re looking for an affordable PSU with good power output (700W continuous), strong single rail, plenty of electrical protections and a 3 year warranty.
