EVGA 500 W3

EVGA’s 500 W3 is a 500W, 80 PLUS White, non‑modular ATX unit in EVGA’s W3 budget family; it was available on the market by February 15, 2021, and is documented by EVGA as part number 100‑W3‑0500‑K1.

Positioned in the budget tier, it exists to power basic desktops at low cost. It offers a single +12V rail (40A), two 6+2‑pin PCIe connectors, six SATA, standard protections, and a 3‑year warranty—fitting entry‑level builds or older single‑GPU systems rather than newer ATX 3.0/PCIe 5.0 GPUs, since it lacks native 12VHPWR. A compact 140 mm depth helps with tighter ATX cases. ([evga.com](https://www.evga.com/products/Specs/PSU.aspx?pn=bfbd4c38-e4c5-4e50-97e4-f3a19f4d8247&utm_source=openai))
