## Long description

The Chieftec Photon 650 W power supply unit delivers 650 W of continuous power and is designed for ATX systems with a 24-pin ATX motherboard connector. It features a 12 cm cooling fan for active heat dissipation, an AC input of 230 V at 50 Hz, and modular cable connectivity with SATA and Molex cables sized for flexible cable management. The compact black housing (150 mm × 140 mm × 87 mm) and an 85% efficiency rating make this PSU suitable for gaming and enthusiast builds that require RGB lighting control.
Advantages
The Photon series provides integrated +5V addressable RGB lighting with extensive predefined effects and support for major motherboard sync systems including ASUS AURA SYNC, MSI MYSTIC LIGHT SYNC, ASROCK POLYCHROME SYNC and GIGABYTE RGB FUSION. A rear-mounted button cycles through built-in lighting modes while a small rear toggle switch selects between motherboard RGB control (when available) and the PSU's internal effects. Modular cables and multiple connectors simplify installation and improve cable routing.
Suitable for
Gaming desktop PCs with ATX motherboards
Custom builds requiring addressable RGB synchronization
Systems where compact PSU dimensions and modular cabling are preferred

How to use
Install the Chieftec Photon 650 W in a compatible ATX case, connect the 24-pin ATX cable to the motherboard and attach required PCIe, SATA and Molex connectors to components. Use the rear toggle switch to select between motherboard-controlled RGB (if your motherboard supports addressable +5V RGB) and the PSU's internal lighting modes; press the rear button to cycle through built-in effects. Ensure the PSU is connected to a 230 V / 50 Hz mains supply and secure all connections before powering on the system.
Usage recommendations
For stable operation, mount the PSU in a case that provides adequate airflow around the 120 mm fan, keep cables neatly routed using the modular connectors, and use the motherboard RGB sync only with compatible addressable +5V headers to avoid mismatched lighting behavior.
