OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecifications
The new generation of power supplies has arrived with Rosewill’s Performance series. The RP500-2 500W has dual +12V rails that allow you to distribute your power more evenly, which will result in a more stable system. This 500 Watts that gives you serious power for most components. The 120 mm low noise fan provides reduced vibration, lower noise emission, efficient cooling, and incredibly enhanced performance. Universal Input and ATX12V v2.01 compliance ensures that you can use this unit almost anywhere.

Your Rosewill PSU will be around for a long time to come, with an MTBF of 100,000+ hours. With one main connector (20 + 4 pin), one 12V (P4), one 12V (8pin), seven peripheral, two SATA, two floppy, and one PCI-E connectors you can wire in all of the necessary pieces for a killer PC. Industrial grade components provide stable and unflappable output and protection against power and voltage surges. It sports three +12V output (12V1, 12V2, 12V3), which allow support for the most high-end of PC systems.

The Rosewill RP500-2 500 W perfectly handles dual processors, dual graphics cards, and just about anything else you can throw at it. A real gift to the high-end, multi-card systems (it’s SLI-ready!), you need this now!

Lasted about one minute

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: None. If a PSU fails within one minute any other features are null and void.
Cons: Powered up PC. Booted to XP desktop. Got a warning indicating that a USB port was under/over voltage. Fifteen seconds later the PC shutdown. PC would do nothing from that point on. Had to RMA.
Other Thoughts: Will definately not consider this brand again.
Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer,
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. We try to provide the most reliable products to our customers. The problem you are having might have been caused by a power surge. We are not sure why the USB would be under/over voltage. We would be more than happy to replace this unit for you. Please email us at rma@rosewill.com for your replacement. We look forward to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
Rosewill Customer Care
