FAQs
Is this power supply suitable for gaming PCs?
This unit is designed for standard PC builds. While it can handle light graphics tasks, it may not provide enough power or the necessary connectors for high-end gaming GPUs.
Does it include a power cord?
Yes, it is designed for 230V AC input, which is standard in many regions, but you should verify regional compliance for your specific wall plug type.
Can I use this in an ITX case?
You must check the dimensions of your case; this is an ATX form factor PSU, which is larger than specialized SFX units used in many compact ITX cases.
What does non-modular mean?
Non-modular means that all power cables are permanently attached to the PSU, requiring you to manage any cables you do not need inside your case.
Is this unit RoHS compliant?
Yes, the ACE A-500BR is certified RoHS compliant, ensuring it meets standards for the reduction of hazardous substances.
Troubleshooting
PC fails to power on
Verify the power cable is firmly connected to the PSU and the wall outlet; check that the wall socket is providing power.
Fan is making clicking noises
Ensure no loose cables are touching the fan blades and use compressed air to clear out any dust or debris trapped in the fan grill.
System instability under load
Double-check all internal power connections to the motherboard and peripherals; ensure your total component power consumption does not exceed 500W.

Cons
- Non-modular cabling may clutter smaller cases

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the A-500BR, ensure your PC case supports standard ATX power supplies (150mm x 85mm x 140mm dimensions). Always turn off your system and unplug the power cable before installation. Secure the unit using the four standard screw points at the back of your chassis. Ensure the fan intake remains unobstructed by case cables or dust. Because the unit is non-modular, use cable ties to bundle unused wires to the side of your case to optimize airflow and prevent interference with internal components. This unit is strictly designed for 230V AC input systems. To maintain the unit, occasionally use compressed air to clear dust from the 12cm fan vent to ensure optimal cooling performance.
