Chieftec Smart Series 500W - PSU, 80 Plus White

The Chieftec GPS-500A8 is a 500-watt power supply unit designed for standard desktop computer systems. It adheres to the ATX12V 2.3 specification, ensuring compatibility with common motherboard and case layouts within its ATX form factor. The unit incorporates active Power Factor Correction (PFC) to regulate voltage and improve power grid efficiency. Its 80 PLUS White certification signifies a minimum of 80% efficiency under typical load conditions, which helps reduce energy consumption and heat generation within the chassis.

This PSU is equipped with a single 120mm fan for active cooling, managing thermal performance during system operation. The non-modular cabling design provides a standard set of connectors directly attached to the unit, suitable for builds where cable management is straightforward. For component safety, it integrates a full suite of protections, including over voltage (OVP), under voltage (UVP), over current (OCP), overload (OPP), short circuit (SCP), and overheating (OTP) safeguards. The unit's Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is rated at 100,000 hours, providing a metric for long-term operational reliability.
