No overpayment

Externally, the Chieftec iArena GPA-500S power supply does not stand out with anything special: grey colour, cables without braid, a standard round ventilation grill. But, probably, it’s for the best - you don’t have to overpay for the design.

Two lines +12 V

Functionally, the GPA-500S can be attributed, rather, to the lower average level than to state employees. It provides two separate +12 V lines (one for CPU and one for the graphics card), which give out a total of 396 W, which is enough to power any processor and, if not a flagship, then certainly a pre-flagship graphics card (up to 200 W). 6+2-pin connector included.

Wide Connectivity

130 W of power is available to power the drives (+3.3 and +5 V lines), as well as three SATA connectors, two Molex and one FDD (required to power some sound cards).

You can blame the GPA-500S only for the short length of the cables. If you install the PSU from below, then it will be difficult to reach the processor power connector on the motherboard.
