Lots of connectors for connecting peripherals. PCIe 8pin connector.

Affordable medium power computer power supply (500 W) with a classic fixed (non-detachable) cable subsystem. The manufacturer is positioning itself as a product of the basic price category, designed to power universal home and low-cost gaming systems equipped with video cards with a typical power consumption of up to 180 watts. It can be successfully used as a regular PSU of low-cost workstations (including those equipped with entry-level or mid-level graphics accelerators).

For internal cooling of the unit, a controllable low-noise 120 mm fan with a 9-blade optimized crescent-shaped impeller is used. The Gamemax GM Series GM-500 power supply is based on a simple and time-tested hardware platform with traditional circuitry that uses the principle of group voltage stabilization. The use of a reliable element base and sufficiently developed aluminium radiators allow the device to deliver up to 78% of the power along the + 12V line in continuous mode, operating with a current load of up to 32A (up to 40 A for a short time). The unit has a conditional certificate of 80 Plus and its efficiency at 50% load exceeds 80%. In addition to standard ATX 24-pin (20+4) and EPS/ATX12V 8-pin (4+4) cables, it is equipped with a cable with a PCIe 8-pin (6+2) connector, two 2xSATA+MOLEX cables and one SATA+ MOLEX. The block has a complete set of necessary protective systems.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Gamemax GM Series power supplies offer a range of models with varying wattages, making them suitable for different needs. Users appreciate the affordable price and initial performance, especially for budget builds. However, several reviews highlight concerns about fan noise and durability, with some units experiencing issues like fan whistling or burning out over time. The design and packaging are generally well-received, but there are complaints about short and poorly placed cables. While the PSU might be adequate for basic or office setups, potential buyers should be cautious about its long-term reliability and consider alternatives if noise and component quality are critical factors.

I do not recommend buying this living block!
22 February 2018 
Bought a new one, worked for 1 month, and then the fan started whistling at ultrasonic levels so loudly that it was impossible to be in the room with it! Tried to lubricate the cooler myself, but it's completely sealed with plastic on both sides, and the fan itself seems non-removable, it’s encased with a metal cap instead of a retaining ring.
Garniy design of the living block and packaging + sockets for connecting cables.
Not a random cooler!
