Cooler Master Elite P500 230V V31 500W ATX Power Supply

The Elite - v3 can operate at maximum load safely in environments up to 40°C. No matter what country or climate your system exists in, this power supply unit can handle just about anything you throw at it. This makes it a great option for work systems operating in warmer locations such as enclosed spaces with limited ventilation, dessert regions, and in small, cluttered cases.

A power supply unit works by taking power directly from the wall or other fixed power source, converting it to the correct output required by the connected components, and then distributing that power to said components. If any part of this process is interrupted or executed poorly, the connected system components and the PSU itself could be damaged. Active PFC uses a circuit to correct power factor leading to reduced total harmonics, corrected AC input voltage, and increased overall efficiency output.

The efficiency of your power supply unit is important because it directly affects your system’s performance and your power bill. The efficiency rating does not reflect the quality or reliability of a PSU. It only reflects the unit’s ability to move power from the wall to your components. The higher a PSU’s efficiency is, the lower the total amount of power it needs to power your system. The Elite - v3 has a guaranteed typical efficiency of 75%.

The Elite - v3 will perform consistently in whatever environment you throw at it whether it's high altitudes above 5000 meters or ultra humid settings like a tropical rain-forest. This unit was designed for work systems meant to be used in extreme conditions with challenging temperatures. Do whatever you need to do wherever you need to do it without letting your hardware limit your goals.
