OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
BFG proves once again that they have their finger on the pulse of the gaming community. The GS-550 is a highly efficient power supply at a reasonable price. They wrapped the whole thing in a black chrome finish that will enhance the look of any gaming rig.

They recognized that gamers need stable power that’s why this is a dual +12V rail system. That keeps power balanced across all components, even if you load all the connectors. Which would be hard to do since there are 2xPCIe, 4xMolex, 4xSATA and 1xFloppy. All of the cables are sleeved for better air flow in the case and easier cable management.

The 140mm intake fan keeps air moving over the internal components to increase both efficiency and product life. Thermal Control Technology regulates the fan speed to deliver the optimal balance between fan noise and cooling.

Which would be hard to do since there are 2xPCIe, 4xMolex, 4xSATA and 1xFloppy. All of the cables are sleeved for better air flow in the case and easier cable management.

The 140mm intake fan keeps air moving over the internal components to increase both efficiency and product life. Thermal Control Technology regulates the fan speed to deliver the optimal balance between fan noise and cooling.
