FAQ
Q: What does Active PFC mean and why does it matter?
A: Active PFC corrects the phase difference between voltage and current drawn from the mains, reducing wasted energy and making the PSU compatible with all AC sources including UAE 50Hz supply.
Q: Is this suitable for a system with a dedicated GPU?
A: Yes, the VX 500W includes a PCIe 6-pin connector and dual 12V rails for entry to mid-range graphics cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between 500W, 600W, 700W, and 750W power supplies for my build?
Calculate your total system wattage (CPU, GPU, peripherals) and select a PSU rated 20-30 percent above that to ensure stability and headroom. A 500W suits basic office builds, 600W handles mid-range gaming, and 700W and above power high-end gaming rigs or workstations.
What does 80Plus Bronze or 85 percent efficiency mean for my electricity costs?
80Plus Bronze and 85 percent efficiency mean the PSU converts 80-85 percent of input power to usable output, wasting 15-20 percent as heat. Higher efficiency reduces power bill costs over time, especially in businesses running servers or multiple systems.
Are mesh-sleeved cables necessary, or do they just look better?
Mesh-sleeved cables improve airflow inside your case by reducing airflow obstruction, helping components stay cooler. They are especially useful in compact builds or systems with tight cable routing.
What does OVP and SCP protection do for my components?
OVP (Overvoltage Protection) and SCP (Short Circuit Protection) automatically shut down the PSU if voltage spikes or short circuits occur, preventing damage to your motherboard and graphics card.
Can I safely run a gaming PC on a 500W or 600W supply?
Yes, if your GPU and CPU combination draws under the PSU capacity (typically 450W total system draw for 600W PSU). Use an online power calculator with your exact components to confirm safety margins.
Is a modular power supply worth the extra cost?
Modular and semi-modular PSUs let you disconnect unused cables, reducing clutter and improving case airflow. The upgrade is worthwhile for high-end builds and enthusiasts; standard units are fine for basic systems.
How quickly can Procure.ae deliver a power supply to my office?
Lead times depend on stock and your GCC location. Contact Procure.ae with your PSU model and location for realistic delivery timelines.
Will you help ensure the PSU is compatible with my existing or planned system?
Yes, Procure.ae can advise on PSU wattage and compatibility. Provide details of your system, and the team can recommend the right unit and confirm power connectors match your motherboard and GPU.
What are the PCIe connectors and SATA counts on these PSUs?
Specifications vary by model: the KCAS and VX series feature dual PCIe 6+2 pin connectors and 7 SATA ports, while the 750GM semi-modular unit has 4 PCIe connectors and 7 SATA. Confirm exact connector counts with Procure.ae for your SKU.
Does the Xpredator 750GM offer any warranty coverage?
Warranty terms for AeroCool power supplies are available from Procure.ae. Contact the team for specific coverage details, including how long you are protected against defects.
Are these PSUs compatible with Intel Haswell and newer motherboards?
Yes, the VX series specifically notes Intel Haswell C6/C7 compatibility, and all units are ATX12V 2.3/2.4 compliant, suitable for modern Intel and AMD motherboards.
