The VIDA Lite 300W ATX Power Supply is an internal desktop PC power supply designed to provide 300W of power for compatible low-power ATX computer systems.

It is best used for basic office PCs, home desktops, low-power systems, refurbishments, replacement power supplies and computers without high-power graphics cards.

This model is commonly listed as AA-300-YY. Checking the model number is useful when comparing specifications, connector layout and compatibility.

This VIDA Lite PSU provides 300W total power. It is suitable for low-power desktop systems, but it is not intended for high-end gaming PCs or powerful graphics cards.

Yes, 300W can be enough for many basic office PCs using a low-power CPU, integrated graphics, one or two storage drives and standard cooling fans. Always check the total power requirement of the full system before buying.

Usually no. This PSU is not ideal for gaming PCs with dedicated graphics cards. Gaming systems normally need higher-wattage PSUs with PCIe graphics connectors and stronger 12V power delivery.

This PSU does not include a PCI Express graphics power connector, so it is not suitable for graphics cards that need 6-pin, 8-pin, 12VHPWR or 12V-2x6 power connectors. It may only suit very low-power graphics cards that draw all power from the motherboard slot.

No. The specification lists no PCI Express connector. Buyers needing to power a dedicated graphics card should choose a PSU with the correct PCIe GPU power connectors.

It is not recommended. Using Molex or SATA adapters for graphics cards can be unsafe if the PSU, cables or connectors are not designed for that load. Choose a proper PSU with native PCIe GPU connectors instead.

No. This 300W PSU is not suitable for modern high-power RTX or Radeon gaming graphics cards. Those cards normally require higher wattage, stronger 12V output and dedicated PCIe power connectors.

Yes, it can be suitable for many PCs using integrated graphics, such as office desktops, web browsing PCs and simple home computers, provided the full system power draw stays within safe limits.

It is an ATX power supply, so it should fit many standard ATX desktop cases. Always check your case PSU clearance, screw layout and available space before installation.

Usually no. This is a standard ATX PSU, not an SFX, TFX or proprietary small-form-factor power supply. Many compact office PCs require a different PSU size.

The listed dimensions are approximately 150mm wide, 140mm deep and 85mm high. Check your PC case clearance before buying, especially if the case is compact or has a drive cage near the PSU area.

The VIDA Lite 300W PSU is listed at approximately 1.17kg, with package weight around 1.4kg.

This PSU has a 24-pin ATX motherboard power connector. It is designed for compatible ATX motherboards that use standard 24-pin power input.

The main product listings focus on the 24-pin ATX motherboard connector and storage connectors. Before buying, check your motherboard’s CPU power requirement and confirm the included CPU/EPS connector layout on the product image or supplier specification.

The VIDA Lite 300W PSU is listed with 6 SATA power connectors. These can power compatible SATA SSDs, SATA hard drives and some SATA-powered accessories.

The specification lists 3 PATA power connectors, also commonly called Molex connectors. These may be used for selected older drives, fans or accessories that still require Molex power.

Yes. The specification lists a floppy disk drive connector, which may be useful for some older systems or legacy accessories.

No. This is a fully wired, non-modular power supply. The cables are permanently attached, so unused cables need to be managed inside the case.

Fully wired means the PSU cables are fixed to the power supply and cannot be removed. This is common on budget and replacement PSUs.

Yes. The VIDA Lite 300W PSU is listed with an on/off switch, allowing the power supply to be switched off at the rear when needed.

The PSU uses active cooling with a 12cm / 120mm fan. This helps move air through the power supply to keep internal components cooler during operation.

No PSU with an active fan is completely silent. The 120mm fan is intended for quiet everyday operation, but actual noise depends on system load, case airflow, room temperature and fan condition.

No. The VIDA Lite 300W PSU does not include RGB lighting or illumination. It is a simple black power supply for practical desktop builds.

The PSU is black, making it suitable for most standard black PC cases and basic desktop builds.

Passive PFC means the PSU uses a simpler passive power factor correction design rather than an active PFC circuit. It is common on some budget power supplies and is different from active PFC found on many higher-end PSUs.

No. Passive PFC and Active PFC are different designs. Active PFC is generally more advanced and commonly used on higher-efficiency modern PSUs, while Passive PFC is simpler and more common on budget models.

No. The specification lists no 80 PLUS certification. Buyers who want higher efficiency ratings should consider an 80 PLUS Bronze, Gold or higher-rated PSU.

Not necessarily for basic low-cost office replacements, but it means the PSU is not certified under the 80 PLUS efficiency programme. For gaming PCs, higher-end builds or long daily use, a certified higher-efficiency PSU may be a better choice.

The VIDA Lite 300W PSU is listed with 230V AC input and 50/60Hz frequency. It is intended for regions using compatible mains voltage, such as the UK.

Yes. It is listed with 230V AC input and UKCA/CE/RoHS compliance. Use the correct UK power cable and install it only in a compatible desktop PC case.

No, not unless the PSU label specifically confirms support for that voltage. This model is listed as 230V input, so it should not be assumed suitable for 110V regions.

The +12V rail is important because it powers major components such as the CPU and other system hardware. This PSU lists one +12V rail with 20A maximum output current, so it is best for low-power systems rather than high-demand gaming builds.

It can be suitable for a simple home media PC with integrated graphics, SATA storage and low overall power draw. It is not ideal for a media PC using a high-power dedicated GPU.

Yes, it can be a practical replacement for compatible refurbished desktop PCs that need a standard ATX PSU and do not require high wattage or PCIe GPU power connectors.

Yes, it can suit many basic business PCs used for browsing, emails, office software, stock systems, accounts and admin work, provided the system power requirement is within the PSU’s capability.

It includes 6 SATA power connectors, but total system power draw still matters. Multiple hard drives can draw extra startup power, so avoid using this PSU for storage-heavy systems if the total load is close to 300W.

It is not the best choice for NAS, server or 24/7 high-reliability storage systems. For those uses, choose a higher-quality PSU with better efficiency, stronger protections and suitable continuous-load capability.

It may fix the issue if the old PSU is faulty and the system is compatible. However, a PC that will not turn on can also be caused by a motherboard, power button, CPU, RAM, short circuit or cable problem.

Common signs include the PC not powering on, random shutdowns, burning smell, clicking noises, unstable voltages, fan failure, system reboots under load or visible cable damage. Stop using a PSU immediately if it smells burnt or shows physical damage.

Yes. Turn off the computer, disconnect mains power and do not continue using the PSU. A burning smell can indicate an electrical fault and should be treated seriously.

It may be possible if you are confident with PC building, but installation involves mains-powered equipment. If you are unsure, use a qualified technician. Always unplug the power cable before working inside a PC.

Check the case size, motherboard power connector, CPU power requirement, storage connector needs, graphics card power requirement, total wattage, mains voltage, cable reach and whether the old PSU uses standard ATX connectors.

This PSU is fully wired, so it comes with its own attached cables. Do not modify PSU cables or mix unknown adapters unless you are certain they are safe and compatible.

The VIDA Lite 300W PSU is listed with UKCA, CE and RoHS compliance certificates. These relate to product compliance and restrictions on hazardous substances.

The product is listed with a 1-year warranty. Keep proof of purchase and use the PSU only in compatible systems according to safe installation practices.

This PSU is not ideal for gaming PCs, high-end CPUs, dedicated GPUs needing PCIe power connectors, RTX or Radeon gaming builds, servers, NAS systems, 24/7 heavy workloads, overclocked systems, small-form-factor PCs requiring SFX/TFX PSUs, or buyers who need 80 PLUS efficiency certification. It is best for simple low-power ATX desktop systems and basic replacement use.
