Power supply unit DeepCool PF500X 500 W, ATX, 80 PLUS Bronze, 120 mm fan, 24-pin MB, 6×SATA, 2×PCIe

The DeepCool PF500X 500 W is an ATX power supply unit designed for desktop PCs, offering a 20+4 pin motherboard connector, active cooling with a 120 mm fan and 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency. It supports AC input voltage 200–240 V 50/60 Hz and provides stable power delivery for typical consumer and gaming systems while integrating multiple efficiency and safety features.

Advantages

The PSU holds multiple bronze efficiency certifications (80 PLUS, Cybenetics, PPLP) and delivers around 88% efficiency at typical load (50%), reducing energy loss and heat. It uses Taiwanese solid and electrolytic capacitors and Japanese electrolytic components on the 5VSB rail to ensure ≥16 ms hold-up time at 75% load and extended standby lifespan. The unit employs Active PFC, Double Forward and DC-to-DC topology with a dual-stage EMI filter to lower ripple and improve voltage stability and compatibility. It supports wide voltage operation and is built to meet strict safety levels for high-temperature and high-altitude environments. A long-life 120 mm fan rated for 40,000 hours MTBF provides continuous cooling and quieter operation, and custom sleeved cables simplify installation. Built-in protection ICs cover OPP, OVP, SCP, OTP, OCP, UVP, SIP and NLO for comprehensive protection.

How to use

Install the DeepCool PF500X into a compatible ATX PC case and connect the 20+4 pin connector to the motherboard along with required peripheral connectors for CPU, GPU and drives. Ensure the PSU is securely fastened and that airflow is not obstructed around the 120 mm fan. Confirm AC mains compatibility (200–240 V) before powering on. After installation, monitor system voltages in BIOS or with monitoring software to verify stable operation.

Recommendations

Use the power supply within its specified input range (200–240 V) and avoid exposing it to sustained temperatures above 40°C. Allow adequate case ventilation, periodically clean dust from the fan and filters, and ensure connectors are properly seated. For systems with high surge or unstable low-voltage grids, verify local electrical conditions to prevent unexpected shutdowns despite the unit's wide-voltage support.
