Asus ExpertCenter P500SV Desktop PC

Description

Professional-Grade Performance in 8.6 Litres

The Core i7-13620H is a 13th Gen Intel H-series processor with 10 cores (6 performance + 4 efficiency), 16 threads, and a boost frequency of 4.9 GHz with a 24MB cache. Running in the ExpertCenter P500SV chassis with ASUS’s copper heat pipe compact air cooler, it delivers a sustained 45W TDP — unlocking up to 28% better performance than a traditional desktop in a comparable price range, according to ASUS internal testing. At just 30.8 dB in Performance mode, it’s one of the quietest SFF machines available at this performance level. The 16GB DDR5 ships across one of two SO-DIMM slots, with a second slot free and 64GB maximum supported.

NVIDIA RTX™ A400 — Professional Graphics for Business

The RTX™ A400 4GB GDDR6 is NVIDIA’s entry professional workstation GPU, built for multi-display deployments, CAD visualisation, AI-accelerated creative workflows, and demanding business graphics. Unlike consumer GeForce cards, the A400 runs NVIDIA’s professional driver stack — ISV-certified for applications such as AutoCAD, Revit, and similar business software — and is designed for 24/7 sustained operation in professional environments. It occupies the PCIe 4.0 x16 (running at x8) expansion slot, leaving the 8.6L chassis fully sealed and ventilated through ASUS’s optimised airflow path.

Storage, Connectivity & Expansion

The 512GB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD handles primary storage, with a second M.2 2280 slot available for an additional SSD and two SATA 6Gb/s ports for HDD expansion. Front I/O covers 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and a 2-in-1 SD/MMC card reader. The rear provides 4x USB 2.0 Type-A, HDMI 1.4 (from the RTX A400), DisplayPort 1.4 (from the RTX A400), Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45), 7.1-channel audio (microphone, line-out, line-in), and a Kensington lock slot. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth are built in via an M.2 Wi-Fi card.

Security & Compliance

ExpertGuardian security provisions include a NIST SP 800-155-compliant BIOS with cryptographic verification and automatic rollback to a known-good state if tampering is detected, discrete TPM 2.0, HDD user password protection, and Kensington lock. ASUS guarantees at least five years of BIOS and driver updates for the platform. The chassis is MIL-STD-810H certified across shock, vibration, heat, humidity, and altitude.

💡 The RTX™ A400’s professional driver stack makes a meaningful difference for CAD, BIM, and AEC workflows — ISV certification reduces driver-related crashes and rendering anomalies that can occur with consumer GeForce GPUs in the same applications.

⚠️ The HDMI and DisplayPort outputs on this model route through the RTX™ A400, not the motherboard — the motherboard’s onboard video outputs are inactive when the discrete GPU is installed. Display configuration is managed entirely through the A400.

⚠️ The P500SV’s DisplayPort does not support Dual-Mode (DP++) — passive DP-to-HDMI/DVI adapters will not function. Use an active adapter or a native DisplayPort monitor.
