One of the best ways to tame power cables is to have cable management. The Modular connectors of the PurePower ATX 12V 2.0 TWV 500W is modular in every way. Use only the cables you need by plug-in in connectors required for your system. This is a big plus for those who like extremely neat cable configurations only a modular cable management design can give you.
With the PurePower ATX 12V 2.0 TWV 500W you will get ample power connectors and cables to power just about any rig. Got an SLI system? The PurePower ATX 12V 2.0 TWV 500W has it covered. Each cables is expertly sleeved and then tested to ensure you receive one of the best cables management systems available. Here is what you will get.
The cable set included with the PurePower ATX 12V 2.0 TWV 500W should be able to tackle most enthusiast gaming rigs, workstations, office computers and other systems requiring a state of the art modular power supply unit.
The Power Supply
The PurePower TWV500 comes in black color. The black paint is matt and does not take any fingerprints. As you can see, all technical information is located on the top of the unit rather than the side. The weight for this powerful modular PSU is around 2.0 kg.
An On/Off switch is included on the rear panel above the power cord receptacle. The PurePower TWV500 does not have a manual voltage selector because the active PFC circuitry takes care of selecting the proper input voltage automatically. The back of this unit is also unique as it has a honeycomb styled grill for ventilation. This style of grill allows for much more efficient cooling of the unit.
Thermaltake has done a good job with this modular design. Each of these connectors is mirrored on the cables, and they are very easy to connect. Thermaltake was also kind enough to include a diagram on the unit describing which connector is for what cable (i.e. SATA cables, SLI, and peripheral power cables).
As you have probably noticed, there is no fan on the back of this unit and that is because Thermaltake decided that a fan would be more effective on the bottom of the unit instead. Without skimping on the design of this unit, they put in a 120mm fan which is almost as big as the entire surface area of the unit's bottom, but it definitely can push air through the PSU.
A side view shows that Thermaltake had some space left to even put a nice promotion sticker about the PurePower TWV500 and how the wattage consumption flow will react during load. I guess they just wanted to fill the space and make sure you know what you have in your hands.
