Gigabyte PB500 Power Supply, 80 Plus Bronze - 500 Watts [GP-PB500]

The offered PB500 with 80 plus bronze certificate and 500 watt nominal power is particularly suitable for price-conscious gamers.

The design of the PB500 is discreet, completely black and fits seamlessly into the interior. On the underside, a large 120 mm fan works and provides excellent cooling at low volume. The fan has an automatic speed adjustment according to the power supply temperature as well as a double sliding bearing for particularly even and quiet running.

This is also ensured by the high efficiency of 85 percent, which has been certified with the 80 Plus Bronze Seal. This makes the power supply very efficient so that there is little waste heat and at the same time the power requirement is minimized - a blessing in times of constantly rising energy costs. The ATX 2.31 standard of the power supply also provides comprehensive hardware compatibility.

With 500 watts, the power supply is suitable for a wide range of applications. In contrast to most other manufacturers, Gigabyte does not rely on split 12-volt lines, but on a single single-rail, which is specially dimensioned for this - in this case with 38 amp current and 500 watts of power. This also supplies hungry CPUs and graphics cards.

At the connectors, the manufacturer also takes into account today's requirements of demanding gamers: In addition to the 20 + 4-pin ATX connector, a 4 + 4-pin CPU connector is also available. Two 6 + 2-pin PCIe graphics card connectors provide a high-end graphics card. Drives and other components have four SATA, one floppy, and three Molex connectors.
