Characteristics
STRONG 12V RAIL
For a stable PCIe graphics support2 PCIe connectors provide power for a demanding and powerful graphics card. Safety protections defend against overcurrents, over- and undervoltages, short circuits and overloads, thus keeping your valuable components safe.
450 WATTS CONTINUOUS POWER OUTPUT
Ensures a steady and reliable operationThe SFX Power 3 can deliver 450W of continuous power. This ensures a steady and reliable operation even when your PC meets an unexpectedly heavy load.
QUIET AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
For mini or media PCsThe high-quality temperature-controlled 80mm fan allows quiet operations of max. 33.8dB(A). The 80 PLUS Bronze certification with an efficiency rating of up to 89.3% is convincing evidence of this PSU’s power saving operation.
“Users with mini ITX PCs or overall compact systems also deserve a quiet and powerful PSU with up to 80PLUS® Gold efficiency. With this in mind, we have developed the SFX Power series. To all whom it concerns: you are welcome.”
