SHENZHEN, China (Mar 2026) — Building a modern gaming PC usually means bracing your wallet for the high cost of “future-proof” parts. But Gamemax is looking to bridge the gap for budget-conscious Pinoy builders with its new MAX PB-Series. These 80 PLUS Bronze power supplies are designed to handle the massive power spikes of next-gen graphics cards without breaking the bank.
While “Bronze” usually signals an entry-level product, these units are fully compliant with the latest Intel ATX 3.1 specs. This means they are built to survive “power excursions”—sudden jumps in power demand—that can reach up to 300% of a GPU’s normal load.
Ready for the latest graphics cards
The standout feature for mainstream builders is the inclusion of native 12V-2×6 connectors on the 750W and 850W models. If you are eyeing a newer NVIDIA RTX card, this direct connection means you won’t have to mess around with clunky, potentially risky adapters.
Under the hood, Gamemax isn’t cutting corners on the essentials. The series uses 100% Japanese capacitors from brands like Rubycon and Nichicon, which are known in the DIY community for lasting much longer than cheaper alternatives. They’ve also stuck with pure copper cables to ensure electricity flows efficiently with minimal heat loss.
Cool, quiet, and protected
To keep things steady during long Manila gaming sessions, the units feature a hydraulic bearing fan rated for 40,000 hours of use. It comes with smart temperature control, so it stays quiet when you’re just browsing and ramps up only when the action gets heavy.
Safety is also a priority, with a 16-pin protection IC covering eight different failsafes, including over-temperature and short-circuit protection. It’s a solid peace-of-mind addition for anyone worried about power fluctuations.
Philippine pricing and availability
The Gamemax MAX PB-Series comes with a 3-year warranty and is priced competitively for the global market. While local retail pricing may vary slightly, here is the breakdown of the launch prices:
- MAX P550B: $46.99 (approx. PHP 2,725)
- MAX P650B: $49.99 (approx. PHP 2,900)
- MAX P750B: $59.99 (approx. PHP 3,480)
- MAX P850B: $64.99 (approx. PHP 3,770)
These units are expected to hit shelves soon, offering a very affordable entry point for those wanting to build a rig that’s ready for the next generation of gaming.
