The benefits of ATX power supply performance

ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) power supplies are a standardised specification for computer power supplies that offer the following advantages in terms of power supply performance:

1. Efficiency: ATX power supplies are very efficient, typically reaching over 80%, meaning that they provide a high ratio of output power to input power, converting the energy into the power required by the actual working computer components.ATX Power Supply

2. Stability: The output of an ATX power supply is stable, it is designed with multiple output voltages such as +5V, +3.3V, +12V etc. and the output ports are isolated from each other to ensure the proper operation of the computer components.TFX SFX Power Supply

3. Versatility: The ATX power supply has various protection functions, such as over-voltage protection, over-current protection, over-heat protection, short-circuit protection, etc., to prevent damage to computer hardware, and also comes with functions such as overload prevention.Computer Case

4. Stability: ATX power supplies start up in soft-start mode, gradually adjusting the voltage from no load onwards, which prevents the circuit from suddenly having a large amount of current shocking the circuit and components.

ATX power supplies offer significant advantages over other power supplies in terms of the capacity and service life of computer components. ATX power supply models are standardised and have a common interface with the standard socket/jack of the computer's motherboard power supply, thus reducing maintenance costs and replacement difficulties.
