Product overview

Thermaltake’s Smart BM3 650W is part of the Smart BM3 Bronze family first shown at Computex on June 2, 2023, with a U.S. retail rollout announced April 24, 2024. It’s an 80 PLUS Bronze, semi‑modular ATX unit built to the ATX 3.1/3.0 guidance and includes a native 12V‑2x6 (PCIe Gen 5.1) lead, a 120 mm FDB fan with Smart Zero Fan, and a 5‑year warranty.Sourcecomputex.thermaltake.com

Positioned as a mainstream value PSU, it exists to bring ATX 3.x GPU readiness and cleaner cabling to budget‑conscious builds without stepping up to Gold pricing. At 650 W and a standard 140 mm‑deep ATX shell, it’s well‑suited to budget builds and mid‑range gaming towers, powering entry PCIe 5.0 GPUs via the native 12V‑2x6 while still offering multiple 6+2‑pin leads for others. Not discontinued.Sourcethermaltake.com
