Only what you need

Chieftec Vita SM3 BPX-650-C is a semi-modular power supply unit with only three fixed cables: for the motherboard, processor with a 4+4-pin connector, and modern video cards with a 12V-2x6 connector. Wires for older GPUs, as well as SATA and PATA cables, are connected only when necessary, strictly according to the specific PC configuration. The power supply unit weighs an impressive 1.9 kg, indirectly indicating the use of massive heatsinks inside the casing.

For different countries

The wide input voltage range from 100 to 240 volts is initially designed to work both in European countries and in North America. However, in practice, it has proven particularly useful during severe voltage drops in the power grid, such as during blackouts, when the indicator can drop to 180 V. A power source with a narrow range from 200 V would simply shut down in such a situation.

Seven barriers

In simple terms, Vita SM3 partially acts as a voltage stabilizer for the computer, except for the monitor, which is powered by its own power supply. In addition, a full set of electrical protections is implemented: from short circuit SCP, overload OPP, and current OCP, overvoltage OVP and undervoltage UVP, surge protection SIP, and overheating OTP.
