Specifications

80 PLUS Bronze Efficiency

The Cronus FX Pro 500W achieves 80 PLUS Bronze certification. It maintains 85% efficiency at 50% system load. This reduces wasted energy and lowers heat output. Because of this, your system runs cooler and more efficiently. It is a solid choice for continuous operation.

Silent Cooling Operation

A 140mm fan provides excellent airflow. This design focuses on heat dissipation without excessive noise. The fan operates at 40dBA. So, it keeps your build quiet during standard tasks. This is ideal for home office or gaming environments where noise matters.

Flat Black Cable Management

This PSU includes flat black cables. They are easier to route than round cables. You can save space inside the case. This helps create a tidy gaming setup or professional workstation. Good cable management also improves airflow around components.

Active PFC Structure

The unit features Active Power Factor Correction (PFC). This ensures stable power delivery across the 200-240V input range. It helps the PSU react to power fluctuations. In practice, this supports consistent performance for your components. The design uses small, light components for better flexibility.

Universal Input Range

The PSU operates on a 200-240 VAC input. It supports a frequency range of 47-63Hz. This suits standard UK mains power. However, the input current is 6A. You should verify your circuit breaker capacity before installation. Always check your local electrical standards.
