A closer look:
Like the majority of new power supplies on the market, this one meets
environmentally-friendlier power standards.
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 width and
height are usually the same, although the length can vary. This power supply has
a black mirror paint finish and comes with a large 120mm fan. The overall look
is basic, nothing really fancy here like a modular design or windows.
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.
The 120mm fan supplies more than enough air circulation though, and keeps the
inside of the power supply cool. Even when the 120mm is running it's virtually
silent, and that's great. I dislike a power supply that has loud fan(s).
Also, there are plenty of
honeycomb ventilation holes to assist in cooling. This honeycomb design is used
on many new Power Supplies and is much better than a standard grill design which
is inefficient .
This
product has auto switching so there's no need to manually switch between
115V/230V before installation. Also, note the power cable connection and the
power switch.
This power supply has plenty of leads and they are all sleeved. This reduces the
cable mess and increases air flow inside the case.
Leads/Adapters:
1- 24(20) pin Main Motherboard Lead
1- 4/8 (4+4) Pin ATX 12V Motherboard Lead (4 to 8 pin adapter included)
2- 6 Pin Video Card Lead (for PCI-E Video Card)
2- 4 Pin FD Lead (for Floppy drives)
8- 4 Pin Acc Lead (for HD, CD, DVD, etc)
4- SATA Power Lead
2- Case Fan Only Connector
Also note, the 4 pin leads are gold plated and have easy grip connectors which
makes connecting/disconnecting components quick and easy.
