Real-time pricing for CoolerMaster RS-500-PCAR-A3.
Cooler Master MASTER eXtreme Power Plus 500W V2.3 Power Supply - Retail COOLER RS-500-PCAR-A3 ATX12V RS-500-PCAR-A3 eXtreme Power Plus
Newegg: $39.99

Power Distribution

On Figure 13 you can see this power supply label containing all its power specs.

Figure 13: Power supply label.

As you can see this power supply has two +12 V rails, which are distributed like this:

  • +12V1 (yellow with black stripe wire): Main motherboard cable, peripheral power connectors, SATA power connectors and video card power connector.
  • +12V2 (solid yellow wire): ATX12V/EPS12V connector.

The rails are well-distributed, as the CPU (ATX12V/EPS12V) and video card are on different rails.

Let’s now see if this power supply can really deliver 500 W.
