Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU review

hello and welcome back today we're going to talk about the thermal texmarq series 500 watt power supply this power supplies comes with an RGB fan it has five year warranty it's cable leg ready and it also has an ultra quiet 120 millimeter fan and it's 80 plus certified so this is decent quality at least but let's spin this around and see on this side with information we can find on the fighter we can see that this RGB has turned 256 colors as well as a fulbright mode so with the RV always shines bright or pulsating modes it always pulsates it also has seven basic color options and a light off mode that can be all controlled from the button that is split on the side

there which can be good if you don't want that bright RGB at night let's take a look on the backside here on the back here we got a lot of information for an example that this car Spy is a full lot up at 500 watt and that it also has a single 12 volt rail which is good if you're gonna use with a 12 volt rail slot which for an example though goes for the CPU or PCI Express aka graphic card you also get to know that the LEDs is channel them on the fan itself and you also can see there the power efficiency for the 80 plus certification scale so you dependent on what you're gonna use is parts point four that could be good information to know that I leave that up to you you also get to know what kind of connectors that comes with and I'm gonna quickly go

through them here it has a main power factor 24 pin or 20+4 pin you also get a a 4 + 4 or ATP in the CPU power connector you get 5 SATA power connectors you got to eat I Express 6 + 2 pin connectors you get 4 4-pin molex connectors and one FDD 4 pin connector on the side area it's the same information as on the other side so we're just gonna spin them back here now to the front and what's perhaps open this up and see how it looks now when we've opened up the horsepower we get to see what's inside and like these screws that's gonna be needed to attach it to the case and we have a thermal panic paper here with some information and we have the

user manual where to connect everything what it needs and all of what you could ever need you also get the power cable of course nothing you need standard if your cable and let's think it's been on this thing here to see how it looks a little bit around for powering stuff you can see the button there for changing the RGB and the mesh netting is actually nice it's the same on the back it's on the that's on the top here cables are nicely sleeved so you will have no issue with that and otherwise it's a pretty neat well-designed power supply if you ask me let's take a look on the RGB side of things , so now when you have seen the full cycle here we're

just gonna leave it on from the change color pulsating cycle so you can see how that looks ,
