New sfx font silverstone sx500

Today we start with the Silverstone SX500-LG power supply, of which we will discuss its characteristics.

We all know that the SFX standard is 100mm deep and features an 80mm fan. Although advances in engineering and components have made it possible for modern high-performance FA SFX sources to be quieter than ever, there is still an inherent limitation with 80mm fans to dissipate heat under maximum load conditions while maintaining a Very acceptable noise for those users that an excessive sound causes discomfort.

With this type of user in mind, SilverStone has released an "elongated" variant of the SFX standard, which it has named SFX-L. With just 30mm of depth added, an SFX-L power supply has enough space to fit a 120mm fan, allowing the emitted noise to be not only less in intensity thanks to a lower fan speed, but Also the produced tone may decrease due to a larger fan size.

The special features of the SX500-LG are, among others, a silent 120mm fan that does not reach 36dBA, with intelligent operation that allows you to have passive dissipation when you do not need the use of forced ventilation.

Within the standards, it accepts SFX-L and ATX thanks to a tool included in the product, in order to reach more users who are in need of this help.

The efficiency level of the SX500-LG source is, nothing more and nothing less than 80 PLUS Gold, a more than decent efficiency for a product of these characteristics, in addition to the fact that all its cables are fully modular and made in Flexible flat assemblies for greater comfort when it comes to mounting and wiring through the towers.

The power of this source is 500W at a working temperature of 40ºC, perfectly suitable for continuous use without any problem. It admits voltage input in a range of 90V to 264V with frequencies between 47Hz and 63Hz, very good amounts to be able to work optimally in any country.

It has a set of + 12V cables to withstand up to 40A of current, perfect for future high-end improvements or even for the overclocking of any component we need, in addition to an optional voltage regulation of ± 3% low noise.

Also say that it accepts dual 8/6-pin PCI-E connectors and, finally, it includes very well optimized 0.95 serial PFC, remember that it is the power correction factor, so important for the invoice of the light is not shot, which is a great fact for all users who look closely at spending at the end of the month.

The SX500-LG source is rated for a 100, 000-hour lifespan, features over-voltage, over-voltage, short-circuit, and under-voltage protection. It comes painted in black and has a weight of 1.4Kg
