It offers an exemplary efficiency of over 90 percent at 50 percent load and meets the stringent requirements of the independent 80-PLUS initiative "Plug Load Solutions." The compact dimensions measure 130 x 125 x 63 mm. Thanks to the modular cable system, only the cables that are actually needed in the PC are used. For building modern systems, the 500-watt power supply features two 6+2-pin PCIe power connectors for high-performance graphics cards. In addition to the standard connections for CPU and motherboard, the SFX power supply also provides four SATA, two IDE, and one floppy connector. Furthermore, it is compatible with Intel Haswell CPUs. The operational noise of the power supply is effectively reduced by the quiet 120 mm fan, making it particularly suitable for enthusiasts of silent PCs who do not want to compromise on a powerful power supply. The SilentStorm SFX Gold 500W includes overcurrent, overtemperature, overload, overvoltage, undervoltage, and short circuit protection. With the included ATX mounting frame, the power supplies can also be used in conventional ATX cases.
