Why Choose a 450 Watts Power Supply?

A 450 watts power supply is ideal for users who need consistent, stable power for their everyday computing tasks without overpaying for higher wattage they don’t need. It supports most modern processors, integrated graphics systems, and mid-tier graphics cards. If you're running productivity software, browsing, streaming, or light gaming, a 450W PSU offers more than enough capacity without excess power draw.

For builders focused on energy efficiency and cost savings, 450W is the sweet spot. All models on our collection page are tested to meet or exceed industry standards, with features like overvoltage protection, quiet operation, and multiple connectivity options.

Key Features to Look for in a 450W PSU

When browsing our collection of 450 watts power supplies, here are the key specifications and features that set top-tier models apart:

1. Efficiency Ratings (80 Plus Certification)

Most users want a power supply that won’t waste energy or overheat. Look for units with an 80 PLUS Bronze, Silver, or Gold rating to ensure up to 90% energy efficiency under typical loads.

2. Modular vs. Non-Modular Design

A modular or semi-modular power supply allows you to use only the cables you need, reducing clutter and improving airflow. Non-modular models are more budget-friendly and are great for smaller builds or less frequent upgrades.

3. Amperage on the +12V Rail

The +12V rail powers key components like your CPU and GPU. A strong, single +12V rail ensures stable performance and reduces the risk of component failure or system crashes.

4. Connector Options

From SATA to PCIe, make sure the power supply has enough connectors for your system’s requirements. All Orange Hardware power supplies clearly list compatible connections for ease of comparison.
