On my previous computer, I also had a Chieftec APS-750C, worked flawlessly for 9 years and still running, satisfied with the brand. Surge Protection Overcurrent Protection Short Circuit Protection Modular Connectivity Bronze Certification The 4+4 pin CPU power cable is somewhat short, I had to stretch it directly as there's not enough for cable management. The cables are closely fitted to the HDD bay, but it's tolerable in the Aerocool Aero One Frost case. use Chieftec Proton month or more i recommend it should buy |
I’ve been using it for almost three years, at first it was on a mining farm, 4 1060 video cards and a processor were powered from it, now it’s in my home computer, it works well, I bought it in January 2018 for 90 € for a computer neververse, the wires are long -Long cables No use Chieftec BDF-850C more than year |
In my opinion, it's the best one, both 500 and 600 can handle any mid-budget build with a graphics card UP TO 2070 super. Got it for 4k rubles. I was considering the be quiet! System Power 9 (same price), but something bothered me as its graphics card support is only up to 24A, whereas here it's 50A. Although the reviews are also okay, I have a feeling they might be inflated, it's be quiet! after all. Chieftec Bronze certification All types of protection Good capacitors Components with a modern converter Thick and black wires, clearly no cost-cutting, some in braided sleeves. I didn't see it. Many people write that the short wires for standard ATX cases with a bottom-mounted power supply are nothing like that. Photo as an attachment.  Evgeniy: use Chieftec BDF-600S few months |

Available "Bronze"
In 2017, Chieftec released a new line of 7 Proton PSUs, where three of the younger models carry the prefix "S", and the four older models have the designation "C", which means a fully modular cable system. Otherwise, they have a lot in common: compliance with the 80 PLUS Bronze certificate, the power of the +12 V line is equal to the nominal value of the entire PSU, modern circuitry based on DC-DC converters is used, and the entire range of available protections (SIP, UVP, OCP, OTP, AFC).
Almost perfect middle class
In tests, this model proved to be a solid five. With test loads, the voltage on the +12 V, +5 V and +3.3 V power lines remained in excellent condition, the ripples were barely noticeable, and the voltage did not sag even when connected to a PC with a powerful hardware configuration. Also pleased with his tact and unobtrusiveness. Up to the 100W mark, the Proton BDF-500S is very quiet. Between 100 and 250 watts, it can be described as quiet. Above a load of 250W, the sound from the fan becomes more audible, but remains at a comfortable below-average level.
The case when it is worth overpaying
All in all, this is a great mid-range transitional model for those who don't want to overpay for Gold-certified models, but also don't plan to save $20 for cutting everything and everything, as is always the case with inexpensive power supplies. It will easily pull a configuration with a powerful processor and a voracious graphics card of the RX 5600 XT caliber, moreover, without drawdowns below the nominal value of the output lines. And to find something better for the money will be quite difficult.
