The power supply includes an over-temperature protection sensor, which can trip and shutdown the power supply at 100°C. Such an overheated condition is typically the result of internal current overloading or a cooling fan failure

Le bloc d'alimentation inclut un capteur de protection anti-surchauffe, qui bascule et arrête le bloc d'alimentation à 100°C. Un tel état de surchauffe résulte généralement d'une surcharge de courant ou d'une panne du ventilateur de refroidissement

Das Netzteil ist mit einem Überhitzungsschutzsensor ausgestattet, der bei 100 Grad Celsius auslöst und das Netzteil ausschaltet. Eine solche Überhitzung ist in der Regel das Ergebnis einer internen Stromüberlastung oder eines Lüfterausfalls

L'alimentatore comprende un sensore di protezione contro la sovratemperatura, che scatta e spegne l'alimentatore a 100°C. Una tale condizione di riscaldamento eccessivo deriva generalmente da un sovraccarico interno di corrente o da un guasto della ventola di raffreddamento

La fuente de alimentación cuenta con un sensor de protección contra el recalentamiento, que se activa y la apaga a 100°C. Ese estado de recalentamiento suele ser consecuencia de una sobrecarga interna de corriente o de un fallo de los ventiladores

Overload currents to output rail will cause the output trip before they reach or exceed 110% ~ 140% for protection, the overload currents should be ramped at a minimum rate of 10A/s starting from full load

Les courants de surcharge vers le rail de sortie entraînent le basculement de la sortie avant qu'ils n'atteignent ou dépassent 110 à 140% à titre de protection. Les courants de surcharge doivent être progressivement diminués au taux minimum de 10A/s, à partir d'une pleine charge

Überlastströme an der Ausgangsschiene lösen die Schutzschaltung aus, bevor 110 bis 140% erreicht oder überschritten sind. Für die Überlastströme wird eine Flanke von mindestens 10A/s ab Maximallast vorausgesetzt

Le correnti di sovraccarico verso la guida d'uscita faranno scattare l'uscita prima che esse raggiungano o superino il 110% ~ 140% della protezione, le correnti di sovraccarico dovrebbero essere scalate ad una velocità minima di 10A/s partendo dal pieno carico

Las corrientes de sobrecarga en la salida provocan como protección el corte de la salida antes de que alcancen o superen el 110% ~ 140%; las corrientes de sobrecarga deben variar a un ritmo mínimo de 10A/s desde la carga plena

One of its standout features is its spacious interior, which supports a wide range of graphics cards and cooling solutions. Gamers looking to build a high-performance rig will appreciate the flexibility that the Antec 500 provides.

One of the key characteristics of the Antec 500 is its thoughtful layout. The case supports multiple drive configurations, allowing users to install up to three 5.25-inch optical drives and four 3.5-inch hard drives. This versatility is complemented by tool-less drive bays, making the installation process simpler and more efficient. Additionally, the chassis includes ample cable management options that help maintain a clean and organized build. This is particularly important for enhancing airflow, as a tidy setup can significantly reduce obstructive airflow that leads to increased temperatures.

Cooling capability is a critical aspect of any gaming case, and the Antec 500 excels in this area. It features two pre-installed 120mm fans – one in the front and one in the rear – promoting efficient airflow throughout the chassis. Users can expand their cooling options further by adding additional fans in various locations, including the side panels. The strategically placed fan mounts ensure that both intake and exhaust air flows are optimized, keeping components cool even during intense gaming sessions.

In terms of aesthetics, the Antec 500 presents a sleek design that appeals to both gamers and professionals. The front panel includes a mesh design that not only enhances airflow but also adds a modern touch to the overall look. The case is available in different finishes, including black, which complements any gaming setup or workstation.

Another notable feature is the ease of access to ports and connectors. The Antec 500 incorporates a user-friendly front panel layout with USB ports, audio jacks, and a power button conveniently positioned for easy reach. This makes it effortless to connect peripherals without having to stretch around the back of the case.

In summary, the Antec 500 is a well-rounded mid-tower case designed for efficiency, expandability, and style. With its robust cooling solutions, spacious layout, and aesthetic appeal, it’s an ideal choice for gamers and PC enthusiasts seeking a reliable chassis for their builds. Whether you’re assembling a powerful gaming rig or a workstation, the Antec 500 stands out as a solid option in the competitive market of computer cases.
