Chieftec Smart A8 GPS-700A8

Budget solution for gaming PCs

Amid the trend of RGB coolers and high-end power supplies in gaming builds, the Chieftec Smart A8 stands out as a budget-friendly yet reliable option for mid-range systems. This power supply offers a balanced combination of power and price, meeting the needs of most gamers without breaking the bank.

Power and efficiency without frills

Chieftec Smart A8, released in 2013 and still popular among users, demonstrates a power of 700 W with an efficiency of about 80%. Refusal of quality certification allowed the manufacturer to reduce the cost of the device, making it an affordable choice for a wide range of buyers, despite the lack of Bronze+ and higher status.

Versatility and Performance

Smart A8 is suitable for creating entry-level and mid-level gaming systems, and also supports some high-end configurations. Thanks to a single 12 V line and the presence of all the necessary connectors, the power supply is compatible with most modern video cards, with the exception of the most powerful models that require higher power. A sophisticated cooling system ensures quiet operation, proving that quality and reliability do not always come at a premium.
