Deep Cool are using the DF1202512CH-003 120MM Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan (FDB) with a specially designed fan impeller which is said to produce higher airflow with lower noise.
The design of this DC-DC power supply is by Channel Well Technology (CWT). They are a well known company who usually create low end or mid level power supplies. Soldering quality is above average although there are a few rough spots on the main PCB.
The filtering stage starts at the AC input receptacle and continues onto the main PCB. They are using a double EMI filter to try and stablise the voltages. The bridge rectifier has its own heatsink with another heatsink close by on the PFC power components and primary switching transistors. Wiring on the board varies, but some areas could certainly be better.
The primary capacitor is by ‘Elite'. This is a Chinese company and this particular capacitor is rated 85c 470uF, 400V. It is disappointing to see a Chinese 85C capacitor in this unit although I have little experience with the ‘Elite' brand specifically. I would expect them to be similar to TEAPO in quality. Other secondary capacitors in the unit are Chinese and 85c rated.
It’s Chinese is it good quality, you hear bad things shit Chinese goods and PSU is one area where you need Quality!
I’ve used it with a FX 8370E OC and RX 470 overclocked to 1400mhz , despite its cheap appearance it handled the load no problem, never blew up, still going to use it for a Ryzen system, but I wish it ran cooler at 550w+ and had Japanese caps.
