Characteristics
80 PLUS® GOLD CERTIFICATION
Very high operating efficiencyTFX Power 3 300W Gold is certified 80 PLUS Gold with an efficiency rating of up to 91.7%. With this outstanding energy efficiency, the TFX Power 3 300W Gold ensures low power consumption and by that lower costs alike.
STRONG DUAL 12V RAIL
For a stable operationThe dual 12V rail design supports high stability as the CPU receives its power through an independent rail. For demanding peripherals like a graphics card, a PCIe connector is included. This makes the TFX Power 3 300W Gold the ideal PSU for all who strive for enough power to support small systems at low noise.
QUIET AND SAFE
Optimized for low-noise operationThe temperature-controlled fan ensures a quiet operation and produces little wasted heat. Since TFX Power 3 300W Gold meets the latest safety requirements, it defends the PC system against overcurrents, over- and undervoltage, short circuit, overloads and comparable failures.
“We at be quiet! have a heart for mini and media PCs. TFX Power 3 is our love letter to those systems and it makes me happy to know, how many of them are equipped in such compact systems all over the world."
