180 W TFX Power Supply for Slim Desktops
This 180 W TFX unit fits small-form-factor desktops that require a 14-pin main connector. It powers basic office or home PCs where a standard ATX supply cannot fit. The non-modular design keeps cable routing simple in tight chassis. Buyers needing higher wattage for discrete graphics should look elsewhere.
Single-Fan Cooling and Fixed Cabling
One fan provides airflow through the compact housing while the fixed cable set includes only the leads shown in the product images. The 14-pin motherboard connector matches proprietary layouts found in certain brand-name slim towers. No modular sockets mean every cable stays in place, reducing clutter but limiting customisation. Weight is listed as 5.
Replaces Failed OEM TFX Units
This supply directly replaces a failed or noisy OEM TFX power supply carrying the same 14-pin pinout and 180 W rating. The jump is worth it when the original unit no longer holds voltage under load or its fan has become loud. Systems that have been upgraded with power-hungry add-in cards will need a higher-capacity design instead.

Questions about this item
What does the 14-pin TFX connector limit in practice?
The 14-pin TFX connector limits the supply to proprietary small-form-factor motherboards that accept this exact pin-out.
What clearance does the TFX chassis need to fit?
The TFX chassis fits standard TFX bays; verify your case accepts the shorter TFX depth before ordering.
How is the unit installed and what step is often missed?
Slide the supply into the TFX bay, secure it with the case screws, then connect the 14-pin main cable — forgetting to latch that connector is the common error.
