High power of the main line +12 V. Efficiency 90%. Semi-modular cables. Four graphics card power connectors. 14cm RGB fan.

Stylish high-power semi-modular power supply (650 W) with modern circuitry, good energy efficiency and controllable RGB LED backlighting. It is positioned as a product of the lower part of the middle price category, aimed at low-cost-conscious gamers and enthusiasts. It can become a reliable source of power for a gaming station equipped with a demanding graphics accelerator. Fits into a spectacular modding configuration with bright LED illumination.

Cope with the power of an overclocker PC operating at a moderately high CPU voltage and an increased GPU Powe Limit of the graphics card. Thanks to modern circuitry and a high-quality hardware platform from CWT, the Chieftec Photon Gold GDP-650C-RGB power supply provides excellent output voltage stability and is capable of delivering up to 53A current through the +12V line, which is 97.8% of the nameplate power. The device is cooled by an automatically controlled 120 mm fan with a translucent 11-blade impeller and an addressable RGB LED strip. There are several spectacular modes of operation of the backlight, activated by a separate button. In addition, the LED subsystem can be connected to the motherboard and synchronized with it using an ARGB cable.

hidden power

The Chieftec Photon Gold 650W is a PSU with enough power to power a computer with even a flagship graphics card like the GeForce RTX 2080 Super or RTX 2080 Ti. Built on the time-tested and slightly upgraded CWT platform and cooled by a 14cm RGB fan (1050 to 1500 rpm).

Modular design

The length of the most problematic 4+4-pin processor power wire for hidden laying is sufficient 56 cm. Four 8+2-pin graphics card power connectors are available, which allows you to assemble a bunch of SLI or CrossFire from two pre-Fagman models if you wish. The remaining cables are modular, that is, in case of lack of demand, they can be easily disconnected and stored in a complete cloth bag. Of particular interest is the PSU RGB lighting synchronization cable with the motherboard, so that it glows in unison with other PC components.

Honest watts

The main line +12 V with a power of 53 A or 636 W supplies power to the processor and graphics card. Another 120 W is supplied via additional +5 and +3.3 V lines (motherboard, drives, fans). Simply put, the total real BP is even higher than the claimed one, which is commendable. This PSU did not pass the official 80 PLUS certification (this would instantly affect the price), but its efficiency is still very high — 90 percent, which approximately corresponds to the "gold" certificate.

Real gold

In general, the Chieftec Photon Gold 650W is a powerful, energy-efficient and reliable (protection against power surges, short circuits and overloads) power supply with synchronized RGB lighting that stands out from the competition. It will not suit residents of the suburbs and rural areas, where the voltage of the household power supply often sags below 200 V. It is better for them to find a model of similar power that starts at 100 V, for example, Chieftec Core or PowerPlay Gold.
