Product overview

Introduced in early 2017 as part of EVGA’s BQ semi‑modular Bronze lineup, the 500 BQ (110‑BQ‑0500‑K1) is a 500W ATX unit rated 80 Plus Bronze with a 120 mm fluid‑dynamic‑bearing fan. EVGA’s documentation lists two 6+2‑pin PCIe, one 8(4+4)‑pin EPS, six SATA, and three Molex connectors, a compact 140 mm depth, and a 3‑year warranty.Sourcegpu-monkey.com

Positioned as a mainstream PSU, it targets builders who want semi‑modular cabling and basic efficiency at low cost. It’s well‑suited to budget builds and mid‑range gaming PCs using a single GPU, and its standard PCIe leads (no native 12VHPWR) match components from its era.Sourceevga.com
