Product overview

Thermaltake’s Smart 500W (PS-SPD-0500NPCWUS-W) arrived on May 4, 2016 as part of the budget-oriented Smart series of 80 PLUS Standard (White) ATX PSUs. The series was announced in late April 2016 for Japan, and this model’s 80 PLUS certification traces back to testing on July 23, 2015.Sourcekakaku.com

Positioned in the budget tier, it exists to power basic, cost-conscious ATX builds. It’s a non‑modular, ATX12V v2.3-era design with 500 W on tap and two 6+2‑pin PCIe connectors—fine for older or mid‑range GPUs that use 8‑pin leads—while lacking ATX 3.0/3.1 features and any native 12VHPWR cable. Full ATX form factor for standard cases; verify connector needs before pairing with recent GPUs.Sourcethermaltakeusa.com
