The ADATA HM Series 650W power supply is a subtle looking design and will fit perfectly into any system on the market.
While it looks rather bland at first glance, we like the matt paintwork which is both resilient to scratches and doesn't mark with easily with fingerprints. The ADATA brand name is embossed on the side panels, another nice little touch.
The cooling is delivered by a large 140mm fan which is a clear blade design and has the ADATA name proudly positioned in the center. We will look more at the fan when we crack the shell open shortly.
The rear of the power supply chassis is vented to allow for maximum air flow dissipation. There is a power socket and power switch set to the side.
We really like that ADATA have decided to clearly mark the cabling connectors with colour coded areas and writing. This will ensure that even system building newbies will understand exactly where all the cables need to be attached.
There is a three colour output power display for easy access to power consumption statistics (Green for low load, blue for normal load and red for full load).

This 80 Plus Bronze certified power supply delivers a very capable 53A to the 12V output rail, which is certainly as good as we have seen from a 650W power supply.
Channel well have made some decent designs over the years. This looks to be very good value. id buy it, especially as its modular.
I like the paintwork. My last power supply had a black finish which stratched even putting it in ! more companies need to spend more time with this.
Excellent, there is a severe shortage of good modular power supplies in this price range. I thought everyone was doing away with it. I hate all the cabling as I never have more than one video card and a single hard drive.
Looks like a bit of a bargain considering the stuff you get with it. The corsair TX are good too, but I noticed they arent modular which is a bit of a downside for me.
Seems they thought this one out, nice to see such a budget supply coming with a pouch for storage too. wasnt expecting that as you normally only see that on expensive ones.
I think it just proves that most of these manufacturers are using the same companies, such as channel well, seasonic etc. I think enermax are one of the few to make their own from the ground up
were can you buy them for £75?
