A closer look:
Now, let's get a size measurement: 16.1cm(L) x 15cm(W) x 8.5cm(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 nickel plated highly reflective paint finish and comes with two fans; one blue LED 80mm fan at the
front and one blue LED 60mm fan at the back.
The overall look is stunning, for a Power Supply. While some Power Supplies are
modular and some others have windows, this one has it all. Three windows, blue
LED fans, LEDs inside illuminating everything, and modularity. Very very easy to
look at, that's for sure.
Now, let's get back to those two fans; 80mm and 60mm. What's that all about?
This is an odd combination as most Power Supplies usually have one 120mm fan or
a couple of 80mm fans. Although, having a fan at the front and one at the back
insures positive airflow and provides great cooling to the internal components.
This product doesn't have auto switching so remember to manually switch between
115V/230V before installation. Also, note the power cable connection, and the
power switch.
This power supply has
lots of modular leads and they are all sleeved.
Please note though that the main motherboard 20/24 pin, 4 pin, and 8 pins leads
are not modular. Modular sleeved leads really help reduce the cable mess and increase air flow inside the case.
I'm not sure what they were thinking only including 2 SATA leads though. I would
recommend they include an additional two for good measure! Also, the way the
leads connect to the back looks a little dated. Don't get me wrong, the modular
leads work fine and they securely attach to the PSU, but they are not as
visually appealing as they could be. Speaking of that, their Mach 1 PSU is a
step up in that respect.
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)
2- 4 Pin FD Lead (for Floppy drives)
9- 4 Pin Acc Lead (for HD, CD, DVD, etc)
2- SATA Power Lead (for HDD)
Also note, the 4 pin leads have easy grip connectors which makes connecting/disconnecting components quick and easy.
