Long proven power supply

The gaming PC industry has changed a lot in recent years with the introduction of RGB lighting components and high-end power supplies. However, the Chieftec Smart A8 model remains popular due to its budget orientation and reliability.

Efficiency around 80%

Chieftec Smart A8 is a budget power supply released in 2016, which continues to be popular due to its optimal price-performance ratio. It delivers 500W of power and approximately 80% efficiency, which meets the requirements of most mid-range gaming systems with Core i5/Ryzen 5 processors and Radeon 6600/GeForce 4060 graphics cards.

The fan is almost inaudible even under load

The power supply is equipped with a single 12-volt line and all the necessary connectors, ensuring compatibility with most modern components. The only exceptions are the flagship GeForce 4000 series video cards with power consumption of 500–600 W. Separately, it is worth noting the quiet cooling system, which demonstrates that simple power supplies without “platinum”, “gold” or “bronze” quality certificates can be silent.
