An entry-level 500W unit with a single +12V rail, built for office PCs and basic home builds.
Quick Specs
- 500W total, single +12V rail at 38A (456W)
- 230V AC input
- Silent 120mm fan with thermal speed control
- ATX12V 2.3 compatible
- OPP, OVP, UVP, SCP and SIP protection
What the VX PLUS 500W Is For
This is a value power supply for entry-level systems: office desktops, home PCs and basic builds with integrated graphics or a low-power graphics card. The single +12V rail delivers 38A, an upgraded transformer helps keep the 12V, 3.3V and 5V rails balanced, and the 12cm fan stays at its start-up speed at light loads to keep noise down. The VX top cover gives it a neater look than a plain grey box.
Who Should Spend More
The VX PLUS carries no 80 PLUS efficiency certification, so it wastes more power as heat than Bronze or Gold units, and it is built to the older ATX12V 2.3 standard. Aerocool lists 1 CPU connector and 1-2 PCIe connectors across the range. For a gaming PC with a dedicated graphics card, choose at least an 80 PLUS Bronze unit such as the AERO Bronze 650W, or the SMART G1 for current GPUs. For a basic office machine, it is a sensible low-cost choice.

- Value PSU aimed at entry-level system builders
- Upgraded transformer for heavy 12V loading and better rail balance

Questions
Before you buy
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
