This PSU really amazes me. It's modular..(I know most of y'all dont like it, but it makes your case a whole lot cleaner). All cables are sleeved...There's a temp monitor....there's voltage dials (not really sure why they add this)...
amdzone.com compared it to the 500W seasonic, and it performed better. With 5 hard drives and all PCI slots filled it only consumed 193 watts on a full load.
From idle to load (The minimums):
SATA (3.3v) 3.36 --> 3.58
Molex (5v) 5.08 --> 5.09
Molex (12v) 12.04 --> 11.92
From idle to load (The maximums):
SATA (3.3v) 3.36 --> 3.365
Molex (5v) 5.09 --> 5.10
Molex (12v) 12.06 --> 12.01
"At roughly 25-33% loaded, the voltages barely budged and were near ideal values for each of the rails."-amdzone.com
The Good
# Overkill for Typical Systems (NOT HERE AT OCFORUMS!)
# High Efficiency
# Modular Cables
# Adjustable Voltages
# Built in Temperature LCD
# High Quality Construction
# Quiet at low fan speeds
The Bad
# Overkill for Typical Systems
# Fan Controller RangePossible to Incorrectly Plug In the Modular Cables
# Very Loud at high fan speeds
# Expensive
So what do you guys think? I'm really liking this thing.
