With such a power supply, you can significantly improve the efficiency of a computer system - the device can power the components with high quality, accurately observing the voltage and current parameters. The power of 500 W is enough to ensure stable operation of even a computer with gaming potential. This model has a single 4 + 4 pin connector in the list of connectors, which allows you to connect any modern processor.

To power the video card, one 6 + 2 pin connector is allocated. The connection to the motherboard is implemented by a combined 20+4 pin cable.

Pros

Cons

The block is cool, and the price is good! But it is a little noisy and takes a long time to turn on

The cool unit consumes little electricity) The fact that it’s quiet - I bet it turns on in about 5-6 seconds. And such a beautiful cheap power supply
Low heat emission, price - quality, all cables are well braided, as for the noise, saying it's nothing says it all, the cables are of average length, great for its price.
Noise, long startup time (maybe I’m the only one), there was no need to power the video card.
use Chieftec GPB-350S few months
You can take it

The Fx-8300 overclocked and the RX 570 nitro+ heat up slightly under load, but not fatally. It works clearly at the limit, and the manufacturer says that 500W is the minimum for this card
Field "Advantages" is required.
