Chieftec ECO GPE-600S

A high-quality and modern computer power supply with a power of 600 W with an efficiency of around 85% and a basic quality certificate of 80 Plus. It belongs to the entry-level price segment and is the middle model in the Chieftec ECO line, which in addition to it also includes models with a power of 500 and 700 W. According to the manufacturer's idea, this option is the optimal solution for budget-conscious gamers who are not chasing modern circuitry with high efficiency and are not eager to overpay for a bronze or gold quality certificate.

It can also serve as a power source in inexpensive workstations with professional or consumer video cards from NVIDIA. For a typical office PC, its performance may be overkill. Chieftec ECO GPE-600S is built on an inexpensive but at the same time reliable hardware platform with active PFC and traditional circuitry based on the principle of group voltage stabilization. It is not 80 Plus certified, but at 50% load its efficiency is around 85%, which is 80 Plus basic certified.

It is also capable of delivering about 90% of the rated power via the +12V line, ensuring high stability of output voltages and low ripple levels without pronounced high-frequency interference. When operating under wear and tear with a constant load above 90%, the Chieftec ECO can become noticeably hot and noisy, so the manufacturer recommends leaving a small power reserve and installing it in systems with a total power consumption of around 500 W.

In general, this power supply is focused on a fixed voltage of 230V, has a TÜV certificate and meets all current EU quality standards including ES 5.0. The cable subsystem includes an ATX 24-pin (20+4) cable, an EPS/ATX12V 8-pin (4+4) line, a line with two PCI-E 8-pin (6+2) connectors for video cards and a pair of garlands with 3x connectors SATA+MOLEX (4-pin). Official warranty - 2 years.
