HIGH-VOLTAGE SAFETY: Unplug before external inspection. Never open a power supply. Dangerous voltage can remain inside after it is disconnected. Do not attempt internal repair; use qualified service or replace the unit.

Verified identity & specifications

Catalog identitybe quiet! Pure Power 12 M 750 W, model BN504
Form factor / eraATX 3.0 / PCIe 5.0 ATX, 750 W
AC input100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (model label controls).
DC output rating750 W continuous; +12 V combined up to 62.5 A; minor-rail limits and cross-load limits are manual-specific.
Mechanical envelope160 × 150 × 86 mm, ATX.
Connectors / interfaceModular 24-pin ATX, EPS/CPU, PCIe, SATA and peripheral; the BN504 bundle has a 12VHPWR-era GPU lead—verify its manual and compatible GPU instructions.
Revision differencesBN504 identifies the 750 W generation; successor Pure Power 12 M ATX 3.1 variants and later cables may differ. Do not collapse wattage/SKU variants into one record.

Compatibility & safe handling

  • Match full model, suffix, region, revision and DC output label to the official documentation. Rated total watts alone do not establish rail or transient compatibility.
  • Before replacement, confirm AC input range, rail current/combined limits, motherboard signaling and pinout, mechanical envelope, fasteners, cooling direction, and every required connector.
  • Never open the PSU, defeat protective earth, or probe its internals. Do not energize a wet, cracked, corroded, burned, modified, or unidentified supply.
  • Modular cable pinouts are not standardized at the PSU end. Use only cables expressly approved for this exact model/revision; matching plugs can have different wiring.

Archival notes

Keep BN504 model number and cable set together. Record any later retail revision, connector designation (12VHPWR versus 12V-2x6), and manual issue date.

Photograph the complete nameplate, assembly/model code, revision/date code, input selector if present, cable ends and mounting side. Separate observed label data from published specifications and preserve the referenced manual issue.
