GAMEMAX GE500 500W is an ATX power supply designed to provide stable and efficient power for mainstream desktop and entry-level gaming systems. With a 500W rated output, single 34A +12V rail and APFC, it delivers dedicated power to the processor, graphics card and other system components while maintaining efficient power conversion. The unit supports 100–240V AC input and achieves efficiency of up to 85% according to GameMax’s specifications.

For cooling, the GE500 features a 120 mm thermal-controlled fan, while its black casing and fully mesh-sleeved black cables provide a clean installation. Connectivity includes a 20+4-pin ATX motherboard connector, 4+4-pin CPU connector, 6+2-pin PCIe connector, four SATA connectors and three Molex connectors.

The PSU also incorporates OVP, UVP, OPP, SCP, SIP, OCP and OLP protection, helping protect connected hardware against common electrical faults. Its ATX12V 2.30/2.31 compatibility, CE certification, RoHS compliance and ErP 2013 conformity make it suitable for standard desktop PC builds.

Main Specifications

GameMax GE-500’s electrical input is 100–240 V AC, 8–4 A, 47–63 Hz and 500W total output.

DC Output

The single +12V rail is rated at 34A, equivalent to up to 408W on +12V (34A × 12V), making it the primary power rail for the CPU and graphics card. The 100W combined +3.3V/+5V limit and the individual rail ratings are directly documented by GameMax.

Connectors

• 1 × 20+4-pin ATX motherboard connector
• 1 × 4+4-pin CPU/12V connector
• 1 × 6+2-pin PCIe connector
• 4 × SATA power connectors
• 3 × 4-pin Molex connectors

The main 20+4-pin and 4+4-pin cables can reach up to 550 mm, helping with cable routing in larger tower cases.

Cooling & Construction

The GE500 uses a 120 mm black fan with an intelligent thermal fan-speed control circuit. This allows the fan speed to respond to the PSU’s thermal conditions rather than operating at a fixed speed. The PSU has an elegant black casing with fully black mesh-sleeved cables, giving it a clean appearance while helping cable management.

Protection Features

• OVP — Over Voltage Protection
• UVP — Under Voltage Protection
• OPP — Over Power Protection
• SCP — Short Circuit Protection
• SIP — Surge & Inrush Protection
• OCP — Over Current Protection
• OLP — Over Load Protection

Standards & Compliance

The GE500 is specified as:

• ATX12V Ver. 2.30
• Compatible with ATX12V Ver. 2.31
• 80+ efficiency
• APFC
• CE certified for safety and EMC
• RoHS compliant
• ErP 2013 compliant

 the unit is intended for mainstream home and office systems, while its single +12V rail and PCIe power connector also allow it to be used in suitable entry-level gaming configurations.
