ZEBRONICS ZS500 500W Non-Modular PSU | 120mm RGB Fan

ZEBRONICS ZS500 500W Non-Modular PSU | 120mm RGB Fan

Reliable Power for Budget Builds: The ZEBRONICS ZS500 is specifically designed for users building affordable home, office, or entry-level gaming PCs. It delivers a continuous 500W of power, utilizing a single 12V rail capable of outputting up to 28 Amps. This ensures a stable and consistent power draw for your motherboard, standard processors, and entry-to-mid-range discrete graphics cards. Its non-modular design keeps costs low while providing a fixed set of long cables, including standard ATX, CPU, and SATA connections, ensuring you have what you need to get your system running smoothly.

Silent RGB Cooling: Aesthetically, the ZS500 punches above its weight class. It features a large 120mm cooling fan that utilizes a hydraulic bearing. This design ensures that even when your system is under load, the fan operates incredibly quietly while providing ample airflow to keep the internal capacitors and transformers cool. Furthermore, the fan is outfitted with vibrant RGB lighting. This adds a dynamic, colorful glow to your PC setup, making it an excellent choice for cases with transparent side panels or open-air frames.

Built-In Protections: Safety should never be compromised, even on a budget. The ZEBRONICS ZS500 includes comprehensive, built-in electrical protections to safeguard your valuable computer components from power grid fluctuations. It features Over Voltage Protection (OVP) to prevent voltage spikes from damaging your motherboard, and Short Circuit Protection (SCP) to instantly cut power if a fault occurs. This ensures your hard drives, RAM, and processor remain safe during everyday operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can this power supply handle a high-end graphics card like an RTX 4070? No. This power supply is strictly designed for budget, low-power systems. High-end graphics cards require significantly more amperage on the 12V rail and specific high-wattage PCIe cables that this unit cannot safely provide. Using this with a high-end GPU will likely result in system crashes or hardware damage.
2. Can I change the colors of the RGB fan using software? No. The RGB lighting on the ZEBRONICS ZS500 is pre-programmed and receives its power directly from the PSU’s internal circuitry. It cannot be connected to your motherboard’s ARGB headers and therefore cannot be customized or synced using software like Asus Aura or MSI Mystic Light.
3. Does “Non-Modular” mean I can’t use it in a small case? You can use it in a small case, but “Non-Modular” means all the cables are permanently attached to the power supply. You cannot unplug the cables you don’t need (like extra SATA cables). In a small case, this means you will have to find a place to tuck away or hide the unused cables, which can make cable management slightly more difficult.
