The second life of an old hit
Chieftec iARENA GPA-450S8 is an updated version of the quite popular GPA-450S power supply. The main innovation was increased efficiency to 80 percent, now meeting the 80 PLUS standard.
Of the total 450 W, the Chieftec iARENA GPA-500S8 delivers 343 W of electricity through the +12 V line. At the same time, the line is divided into two virtual channels: up to 24 A for CPU and motherboard and up to 21 A for the graphics card (but not more than 33 A at the same time).
Suitable for entry to mid-range gaming PC
This means that the total power of the Chieftec iARENA GPA-500S8 is enough to power a gaming PC even with an overclocked Core i7 or Ryzen 7 processor and a mid-range graphics card. However given the presence of only one 8-pin power connector for video cards, an adapter with Molex may be required.
Quiet cooling system
The advantages of the model include a rather quiet cooling system, which only speaks under loads in the region of 300 watts. Even in this case, the noise level can be described as average. Only a relatively short processor cable (38 cm) can become an unpleasant surprise, which is why the iARENA GPA-450S8 is not very suitable for large cases or systems with a bottom PSU.
