Product identity

Thermaltake TR2 Gold 500W is an ATX12V / EPS12V power supply delivering 500 W maximum output. It carries 80 PLUS Gold certification with 87 to 92 percent efficiency across 20 to 100 percent load and uses Active PFC for 100 to 240 V input.

Who it suits and who it does not

Builders assembling a mainstream desktop with a single graphics card will find the two 6+2-pin PCIe connectors and SLI / CrossFire readiness adequate. Systems that require more than two PCIe power cables or a higher total wattage should look at a larger unit.

Deciding specification

The single +12 V rail design provides the full 500 W on one rail, which determines whether the supply can handle the combined load of CPU and GPU without splitting currents across multiple rails.

Questions about this item

Will the 500W unit power a legacy Core 2 Quad build that still uses a 20-pin motherboard connector?

The main cable ends in a 20+4 pin plug that separates to fit older 20-pin sockets, and the 4+4 pin EPS connector splits for 4-pin CPU headers, so the supply works with that platform.

How can I confirm the 120mm fan is running at its rated 1500 RPM after installation?

The fan uses intelligent RPM control; you can verify speed in BIOS hardware monitor or with any fan-speed utility that reads the PSU fan header.

Does the box include SATA power cables or must they be purchased separately?

Six SATA connectors are pre-attached to the sleeved cables inside the box, so no extra SATA power cables are needed.
