Chieftec Photon power supply unit 650 W 24-pin ATX PS/2 Black

The Chieftec Photon 650 W power supply unit delivers 650 W of continuous power and is designed for ATX systems with a 24-pin ATX motherboard connector. It features a 12 cm cooling fan for active heat dissipation, an AC input of 230 V at 50 Hz, and modular cable connectivity with SATA and Molex cables sized for flexible cable management. The compact black housing (150 mm × 140 mm × 87 mm) and an 85% efficiency rating make this PSU suitable for gaming and enthusiast builds that require RGB lighting control.

Advantages

The Photon series provides integrated +5V addressable RGB lighting with extensive predefined effects and support for major motherboard sync systems including ASUS AURA SYNC, MSI MYSTIC LIGHT SYNC, ASROCK POLYCHROME SYNC and GIGABYTE RGB FUSION. A rear-mounted button cycles through built-in lighting modes while a small rear toggle switch selects between motherboard RGB control (when available) and the PSU's internal effects. Modular cables and multiple connectors simplify installation and improve cable routing.

Suitable for

• Gaming desktop PCs with ATX motherboards
• Custom builds requiring addressable RGB synchronization
• Systems where compact PSU dimensions and modular cabling are preferred

How to use

Install the Chieftec Photon 650 W in a compatible ATX case, connect the 24-pin ATX cable to the motherboard and attach required PCIe, SATA and Molex connectors to components. Use the rear toggle switch to select between motherboard-controlled RGB (if your motherboard supports addressable +5V RGB) and the PSU's internal lighting modes; press the rear button to cycle through built-in effects. Ensure the PSU is connected to a 230 V / 50 Hz mains supply and secure all connections before powering on the system.

Recommendations

For stable operation, mount the PSU in a case that provides adequate airflow around the 120 mm fan, keep cables neatly routed using the modular connectors, and use the motherboard RGB sync only with compatible addressable +5V headers to avoid mismatched lighting behavior.
