This Chieftec brand power supply unit has an 80 PLUS Gold energy efficiency certificate and a power output of 550W.
With 550W power, it will be enough to run Office programs, browse the internet, and play simple computer games. It will be able to run a computer with a budget-level processor, integrated graphics card, small SSD, or HDD disk. If there is a desire to upgrade computer components in the future, it is definitely worth considering a more powerful power supply unit.
80 PLUS Gold energy efficiency certificate received by this power supply guarantees at least 90% efficiency at 50% load. In other words, for every 100 W of energy the power supply receives from the power grid, at least 90 W goes to your computer components, and the remaining 10 W is lost as heat.
The color of the power supply is Melna. It is equipped with flat cables, whose color is Raiba.
ATX 2.0 standard, which is assigned to this power supply unit, ensures that the unit is equipped only with 6-pin and 8-pin connectors (with respective power of 75W and 150W). For a system with a very powerful graphics card (such as RTX 4070), an ATX 3.* standard unit will be required, and ATX 2.0 will not be sufficient.
This power supply has modular cables, which provide the possibility to add video card cables, hard disk cables, etc. as needed from the supplied range. This way, the wire clutter in the computer is reduced, improving ventilation and the aesthetic factor (particularly important for those who purchase a partially transparent case).
This is a SFX (Small Form Factor eXtended) type power supply. It is smaller in size and power compared to AFX type units, but is ideally suited for small form (SFF) computers where space is limited. It has smaller size fans and it is compatible with such motherboards as Mini-ITX.
