The unit contains a 140mm Yate Loon fan. The D14BH-12 is a quality fan which can spin up to 2,800 rpm while generating a whopping 140 cfm of airflow at 48 dBa. We are quite sure that it will never need to spin at close to full speed, but we will analyse this later in the review.
This Channel Well Active PFC Design is very clean and doesn't cut any corners with the quality of components. It is a double forward circuit design. Inside they are using Nippon Chemi Con 400W, 390uf capacitor rated to 105c which should help the long term stability of the power supply under heavy use.
The ADATA PSU is supplied with automatic output protection to ensure no damage occurs. This includes Total Power Protection (OPP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Over Current Protection (OCP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP) and Over Temperature Protection (OTP).
The cabling is fully sleeved inside the chassis to ensure that no long term cable fraying and damage will occur.
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?
