Chieftec PowerUp GPX-650FC
 | Outdated Product An affordable "gold" power supply unit with a 650W capacity, suitable for gaming and universal systems, requiring stable power supply and durability. Part of the Chieftec PowerUp line (2021 release), it provides a good reserve on the +12V line, designed for nearly the full declared power and geared towards mid-range builds with processors like the Core i5/i7 and popular mid-range graphics cards such as the GeForce RTX 3060/4060. Priced in the affordable solutions category with an 80+ Gold certification. It occupies the niche between the most budget lines and more expensive Chieftec series, offering the user a practical option without excessive features. Compared to popular models like Chieftec Core and Chieftec Proton, this power supply is distinguished by higher execution and reliability levels...and a more substantial warranty period, hence it is usually chosen by more demanding builders. The circuit design is built on a bridge LLC converter with DC-DC converters, allowing the unit to work confidently under variable loads and maintain stable voltages. High efficiency is confirmed by 80 PLUS Gold, TÜV Rheinland, and Interseroh certifications. The cooling system uses a 120mm rolling bearing fan. The design is intended for longevity and balances performance with noise levels. Cables are in a modular format, easy to manage, with unnecessary ones easily disconnectable. The protection kit covers all major scenarios — from overvoltage and overload to overheating and short circuit. The manufacturer confirms reliability with a five-year warranty. |

When purchasing, I advise you to immediately change the cable, you will not like it Price for 80+ Gold Cables, they are very inconvenient here, stiff. Especially the 24pin cable - long, thick, unbendable, black...  Mel: use Chieftec GPX-850FC more than year |
famous company, modularity wires and connectors I pricked all my hands while inserting the 24-pin into the PSU and spent a lot of strength The 24-pin does not go into the motherboard until it clicks, and I don’t want to break it I’ll have to do something about this, because the board may burn out agen20stv ru: use Chieftec GPX-850FC less than month |
I have no idea what to write in the review for the PSU, since essentially it should be written when 1 - There is a power surge and some device gets fried, and it's operating at that moment 2 - Connect a farm closely to 550 and check if the contacts will melt 3 - Lightning strikes) 1060 6GB + 12600K and a bunch of peripherals = no noise The wires are packed in a bag. Detailed instructions, no complaints about the package, even 2 cables turned out to be unnecessary. Show time Coffin Dancers: use Chieftec GPX-750FC less than month |
Pure gold
Chieftronic PowerUp is a fully modular 650-watt power supply from Chieftec's gaming sub-brand. Received an 80+ Gold Energy Efficiency Certification. This means an efficiency of up to 92 percent when powered by a 220-volt household power outlet. Able to work PSU and from 110-volt networks.
Chest in orders
Also certified by respected international organizations TUV Rheinland and Interseroh. The first guarantees reliability, and the second — environmental friendliness. Built on the CWT platform, which is traditional for Chieftec products. The output voltage is stabilized according to the progressive DC-DC Load-Line Calibration scheme.
Nothing extra
On the main line, +12 V produces a current of 54 amperes, that is, 100 percent of the total claimed power. The length of the 4 + 4-pin processor cable is 65 cm, which is even with a margin. Graphics card cables 6 + 2-pin are available in two pieces. Extra SATA and Molex wires are offered to be stored in a convenient cloth bag.
defensive reflexes
The 12 cm Yate Loon fan, based on rolling bearing, runs quietly. ChengX and CapXon capacitors, mixed 85 and 105 degrees. There is a varistor for lightning protection. All possible levels of electrical protection are also implemented: from short circuit, power surges, overload and overheating. All of this is backed by an extended 5-year warranty.
