Affordable and energy-efficient ATX v2.3 high power power supply (600 W). It has a classic cable layout (no detachable cables), standard overall dimensions and moderate weight. Built on a modern CWT hardware platform using a highly efficient circuit solution — a resonant rectifier with DC-DC converters. Equipped with all the necessary protective subsystems: OVP (against network overvoltage), SCP (against short circuit), OPP (against overcurrent).
It is positioned as an affordable model of the middle price category, focused on use in high-performance gaming PCs equipped with video cards with increased heat dissipation. In addition, the Chieftec Core BBS-600S power supply can power entry-level / mid-level workstations, including equipped with professional video adapters. It features a high level of output voltage stabilization on all lines and excellent energy efficiency of the 80 Plus Gold level. The dissipation of the unit's own heat is carried out by a 120 mm fan with a simple plain bearing. It is important that at low and medium loads (up to 400-450 W) it rotates at a minimum speed (500-600 rpm) and is completely silent.

Folk 80+ Gold
Usually, Gold + certified power supplies are expensive and for most computer owners seem like a luxury like membership in a country golf club. This makes the Chieftec Core look even cooler, offering a potential buyer an almost record-breaking combination of power (600 W), efficiency (85% efficiency) and acoustic comfort for its $60. Only on the approach to full power will the fan be heard quite distinctly, and it can be called annoying only at maximum speed.
Maximum quality at a bargain price
At the same time, it provides quite decent voltage stability, the minimum level of their ripples and supports operation with a wide range of input voltages. I especially liked that during the tests we did not record a single voltage drop below the nominal value. Add here a complete set of connections, low noise level (if it does not have to work for wear), a full-fledged protective complex against overloads, power surges, etc., and you get one of the most balanced Gold + power supplies on the market.
There were no savings
Another question is that he had to save on something, and he can’t compete with top models from Sea Sonic and Thermaltake. The main disadvantage of the Chieftec Core can be considered the manufacturer's savings on the capacitors used, which affects the heating of the model and raises questions about its durability. Also, the design of the cable system here is as simple as possible in the most common and affordable power supplies. But models that are not burdened with such problems will cost much more.
