VIDA Heracles 650W | Bronze ATX Power Supply

The VIDA Heracles power supply unit 650 W 20+4 pin ATX ATX Black delivers reliable 650W power for modern PCs. With 80+ Bronze certification, it balances efficiency and stable performance, making it ideal for mid-range gaming rigs and workstations that need dependable power without excessive noise.

Key Specifications

Efficient Cooling for Quiet Operation

The Heracles features a 140mm fan with hydraulic bearing technology, designed to minimise noise while maintaining optimal airflow. The front-mounted fan position ensures consistent cooling across internal components, and the active cooling system automatically adjusts fan speed based on system load. This means quieter operation during light tasks and increased cooling when your system demands maximum performance.

Comprehensive Connectivity for Versatile Builds

With a full complement of power connectors, this unit supports a wide range of components. You’ll find six SATA power connectors for storage drives, three PATA Molex connectors for older peripherals, and four PCIe 6+2 pin connectors for graphics cards. The 20+4 pin ATX motherboard connector and 4+4 pin CPU power connector ensure compatibility with most modern motherboards. All cables are non-modular, which means easier installation but potentially more cable management required inside your case.

Dust Management for Longevity

A standout feature of this power supply is the removable dust filter, which helps maintain clean internal airflow and extends the unit’s operational life. Combined with the 80+ Bronze efficiency rating, which reduces heat generation through better power conversion, this design approach helps keep your system running cooler and more reliably over time. The hydro bearing fan further contributes to longevity by reducing mechanical wear.
