Silverstone ET500-ARGB 500W Bronze PSU

This 500 watt power supply targets budget builders who want 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency and addressable RGB lighting in a single unit. It delivers continuous output at 40 degrees Celsius and uses a single +12V rail design. The fixed all-black flat cables help keep the interior tidy without modular connectors.

Thermals noise and 80 PLUS Bronze efficiency

The 120mm ARGB fan runs quietly while maintaining safe temperatures during normal operation. Bronze certification confirms typical efficiency above 80 percent at standard loads, reducing waste heat and electricity draw. Continuous 24/7 rating at 40°C means the unit handles sustained workloads without throttling or excessive fan speed.

ARGB button and PCIe connectors for graphics cards

An external button cycles through 17 pre-set lighting effects without software or a motherboard header. The +5V ARGB connector also allows synchronisation with compatible boards when desired. Standard 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe plugs power mid-range graphics cards directly from the fixed cable set.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the ARGB fan to my motherboard for lighting control?

Use the +5V ARGB connector on the motherboard or link it to another ARGB device; the external button also cycles through 17 preset effects without software.

What maintenance does the 120mm ARGB fan require over time?

Clean dust from the fan blades and heatsink periodically; the sleeve-bearing fan may need replacement after extended 24/7 operation at 40°C.

At what load does the single +12V rail hit its limit during sustained use?

The 500W continuous rating at 40°C is the first limit; the rail delivers up to 500W combined, so sustained draws near that level will trigger protection.
