The DeepCool PF500 500W 80 PLUS White Non-Modular PSU is a straightforward, budget-friendly power supply suited to first-time builders and anyone putting together a modest desktop PC. It delivers certified 80 PLUS efficiency, multiple hardware protections, and a low-noise hydraulic bearing fan without the added cost of modular cabling. If you need reliable, stable power delivery for a mid-range build on a tight budget, this unit covers the essentials.
Why This Product
-
80 PLUS White certified efficiency
— Certified for 80 PLUS 230V EU Standard, it achieves at least 85% efficiency under 50% load, reducing wasted energy and keeping operating temperatures lower.
-
Silent 120mm hydraulic bearing fan
— The 120mm fluid bearing fan is optimised for low-noise operation and has a longer service life than sleeve bearing alternatives due to reduced friction and vibration.
-
Four layers of built-in protection
— Over Power, Over Voltage, Short Circuit, and Under Voltage protection guard connected components against surges and electrical faults.
-
Flat black cables for easier routing
— Fixed flat black cables are more flexible and take up less space than round cables, making cable management tidier inside the chassis.
-
100,000-hour MTBF rating
— The unit is rated for 100,000 hours mean time between failures, reflecting a design intended for long-term, continuous use.

Compatibility
-
✓ Compatible with ATX 12V V2.4 standard motherboards, which covers the vast majority of modern desktop builds.
-
✓ Includes a 24-pin main connector and an 8-pin (4+4) EPS 12V connector, supporting most consumer Intel and AMD platforms.
-
✓ Provides two PCIe 6+2 pin connectors, supporting a single mid-range discrete GPU with dual power connectors.
-
✓ Includes six SATA connectors and two 4-pin peripheral connectors, accommodating multiple storage drives and accessories.
-
Note: This is a non-modular unit — all cables are permanently attached. Unused cables must be tucked away inside the case, which requires sufficient chassis space.
-
✗ Not suited to high-end GPU configurations requiring more than two PCIe power connectors, as no additional PCIe connectors are provided.
Best For / Trade-offs
Best for:
-
Budget desktop builders
who need a certified, reliable PSU without paying for modularity or higher efficiency tiers.
-
Builders with a single mid-range GPU
— the two PCIe 6+2 pin connectors cover most mainstream graphics cards.
-
Quiet build environments
— the hydraulic bearing fan is specifically designed for low-noise operation.
-
Multi-drive storage builds
where the six SATA connectors allow connecting several hard drives or SSDs without adapters.
Trade-offs:
-
High-wattage GPU builds
— systems requiring a flagship graphics card with three or more PCIe power connectors cannot be supported by this unit.
-
Builders prioritising clean cable routing
in a show build or small chassis — non-modular cables mean all leads are permanently present regardless of whether they are used.
-
Efficiency-critical or always-on workstations
— 80 PLUS White is the entry-level efficiency tier; higher-efficiency units (Gold, Platinum) waste less energy at all load levels.
