AeroCool are using a Young Lin DFS132512H 135mm. We have seen this fan used in quite a few units in the last year. It is a 7 blade, dual ball bearing fan rated at 12V, 3W, up to 1,700 rpm with a maximum noise output rating of 36.28dBa.
The design of the AeroCool GT-1050SG is by HEC, and the soldering quality is quite good throughout. The power supply has several rows of heatsinks separating the components. The modular daughtercard is attached to the main unit at the side of the PCB.
The AeroCool GT-1050SG uses two Teapo capacitors in the primary stage, these are rated 85c, 420V 390uF.
This is a little disappointing as we would expect to see premium Japanese 105c rated capacitors in a flagship unit like this. That said, we haven't had any problems with Teapo in the past (although they are not popular with some enthusiast users). Capacitors in the secondary stage are all rated to 105c which is slightly more reassuring, especially as many of them are mounted in a low airflow position.
The unit complies with OVP / UVP/ OTP / OCP/ OPP / SCP / SIP Safety certifications.
I actually really like the styling of that one.
Good review. bit high for what I need, but good to see some slightly cheaper alternatives. thats about the same price as the latest high end 750W from Corsair.
Not available over here, but yeah I agree, seems like a high value unit. I dont mind much about the minor issues you mentioned. Any ideas of availability in Slovania/Slovakia?
Better than their last one thats for sure!
Are ribbon flat cables better than the traditiona round ones? I hate the ribbon cables they look crap.
I love the look of this, would look great with my new snow case. Do they make any others in like 750W capacities?
I think they do 500W up to 1050W all in the same styling, 80+ bronze too for people on a tighter budget…
