A closer look:
Now, let's get a size measurement: 14cm(L) x 15cm(W) x 8.6cm(H). Please note that power supplies have to meet the ATX standard. This means that the height is usually the same, although the length and width can vary. This power supply has a
dark high gloss paint finish and comes with one quiet 120mm fan (17 dBA). The overall look is basic, nothing really fancy here like a modular design or windows.
The 120mm fan that's included is a fantastic solution over a couple of 80mm
fans. Smaller fans require more speed to push the same amount of air. This means
that smaller fans tend to be louder and there's nothing worse than screaming
fans.
Some PSU fan grills are mounted on the outside of the power supply and this
could pose a problem with some cases. Thankfully this PSU fan grill is recessed.
Also, there are plenty of
ventilation holes in this PSU to assist with cooling. This product has auto switching so there's no need to manually switch between 115V/230V before installation. Also, note the power cable connection, the power switch, and
red power LED.
This power supply has plenty of leads and they are all sleeved.
Sleeved leads really help reduce the cable mess and increases air flow inside the case.
Leads/Adapters:
1- 20/24 Pin Main Motherboard Lead
1- 4 Pin Motherboard Lead
1- 8 Pin Motherboard Lead
2- 6 Pin Video Card Lead (for PCI-E Video Card) (SLI)
1- 4 Pin FD Lead (for Floppy drives)
5- 4 Pin Acc Lead (for HD, CD, DVD, etc)
6- SATA Power Lead (for HDD)
Also note, the 4 pin leads have easy grip connectors which makes connecting/disconnecting components quick and easy.
