Outdated Product
Comparatively inexpensive mid-range power supply with traditional (non-modular) cabling layout. The device is positioned by the manufacturer as a base price solution and is intended rather for use in low-cost configurations of universal home PCs or inexpensive gaming assemblies equipped with video cards that consume no more than 150 watts of power. Also, such a model can serve as a good source of energy for entry-level workstations (including those equipped with graphics accelerators). The FSP ATX-500PNR power supply is based on a hardware platform with traditional circuitry. The unit is not 80 Plus certified or modular cabling certified. But it provides good output voltage stability, as well as low ripple and high-frequency noise. A controlled 120 mm ball bearing fan is used to cool the P...CB elements. The list of connectors includes three SATA connectors and five MOLEX connectors at once.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The FSP PNR power supply is generally well-regarded by users, with one reviewer highlighting its reliability and consistent performance. They mention that the power supply works well and express a preference for FSP products, noting that none of the three units they have used have failed them. However, the reviewer does point out that the power supply is initially noisy like a Boeing when the computer is turned on, but it becomes quiet once Windows has loaded. Overall, the FSP PNR is considered a good choice for those seeking a dependable power supply.

Good power supply

Cool and good. I choose only FSP, and not one has let me down yet (and there have been 3 of them)!
Works.
I immediately turn on the computer and it roars like a Boeing, but once Windows has loaded, it runs quietly.

folk hero

Many users underestimate the importance of choosing a good power supply. It seems to be the first candidate for savings during PC builds, but no. A cheap power supply with low-quality electronics and low efficiency can bring a bunch of unexpected surprises. This is probably why FSP PNR is so popular. It just works as stated by the manufacturer.

2 PCIe slots

The total power of the 12 V line is 408 A (or 81.6% of the "nominal"). The total load is up to 120 W. The unit is not 80 PLUS certified. A notable advantage of this block against the background of most competitors in the class is the presence of two PCIe connectors (6-pin and 6 + 2-pin). This means that this model can be used even as part of a very performant gaming system without adapters.

Not the quietest

Now about the nuances. Firstly, this block cannot be called silent, so when assembling a special “quiet” PC, it is better to look at other models. Secondly, the length of the cords for connecting the processor and the motherboard is only 31 cm, and when installing this power supply in a large case, they may simply not be enough. In a regular case, everything is installed without a hitch.
