Cooling & Thermal Management
The PSU employs an active cooling system featuring a single 80 mm (8 cm) fan positioned at the top of the unit. This design ensures efficient heat dissipation while maintaining low noise levels. Operating temperature range is 0 °C to 50 °C, with humidity tolerance from 10 % to 85 %. The fan’s placement allows for optimal airflow through the chassis, reducing thermal stress on internal components.
Protection & Reliability
- Over‑Current Protection (OCP) – safeguards against excessive current draw.
- Over‑Voltage Protection (OVP) – prevents voltage spikes from damaging hardware.
- Short‑Circuit Protection (SCP) – instantly cuts power during fault conditions.
The unit boasts a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of approximately 100,000 hours, reflecting robust construction and high‑quality components. Its compliance with RoHS ensures that hazardous substances are minimized, aligning with modern environmental standards.
Installation & Compatibility
The TFX form factor is specifically engineered for small form‑factor (SFF) cases such as the CoolBox FALCOO500TGR, CoolBox BASIC500GR-T, and other compact chassis. The PSU’s slim profile (65 mm height) allows it to be mounted without obstructing other components, while its 175 mm depth ensures a clean installation path.
User Manual & Documentation
A comprehensive user manual is included with the unit, providing step‑by‑step instructions for safe installation, wiring diagrams, and troubleshooting tips. The documentation is available in multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for users worldwide.
Performance Highlights
- Efficient Power Delivery: 500 W capacity supports mid‑range CPUs, GPUs, and storage arrays without compromising stability.
- Compact Footprint: Ideal for space‑constrained builds such as home theater PCs (HTPCs), media centers, or office workstations.
- Quiet Operation: The single 80 mm fan operates at low RPM under typical loads, delivering a silent computing experience.
- Legacy Support: Inclusion of a floppy connector and ATX power cable ensures compatibility with older motherboards or peripherals that may still be in use.
Why Choose the FTE. ALIM. TFX BASIC 500GR-T?
For builders seeking a reliable, efficient, and space‑saving PSU, this unit delivers on all fronts:
- High Power Density: 500 W in a compact chassis.
- Robust Protection: Multiple safety features protect both the PSU and connected hardware.
- Eco‑Friendly Compliance: RoHS certification reduces environmental impact.
- Versatile Connectivity: Supports modern SATA drives, legacy floppy devices, and standard ATX motherboards.
Conclusion
