Kolink are using a 140mm Globe Fan. The model number is RL4Z B1352512M, rated at 12V, 0.28A. This a ball bearing fan with ‘golf surfaced blades'. We have seen this kind of rough surface treatment before on Sharkoon Silent Eagle fans. The point of this design is to try and reduce noise levels.
The fan in the 1200W unit is RL4Z B1352512H. This H model in the 1200W power supply is rated higher at 0.33A, so it is likely to have the potential to spin faster under extreme load.

First impressions are positive. This Highpower/Sirfra OEM design is actually built to a high standard. Soldering on the main PCB and modular daughtercard is very good.
There are several rows of heatsinks in place to help maintain safe temperatures, without blocking airflow from above. As this is a high efficiency Platinum unit, there is really no need for a plethora of heatsinks anyway.
The design uses very high grade Japanese RUBYCON 105C rated capacitors in the primary stage. These capacitors are rated 400v 560uF each – so 1120uF in total. Secondary stage capacitors are also 105c rated which is good to see. The 1200W Kolink Continuum adopted Japanese Nippon Chemi Con capacitors, but I rate both Rubycon and Chemi Con at a very high level, so Kolink are clearly using whichever is available at the time. Not a TEAPO capacitor in sight, which gets a big thumbs up from me.
Nice review. I hate those flat cables especially when you have a lot of sharp bends straight out of the PSU and through small covered holes in the case, they are a nightmare to fold, I’d much rather have a braided cable similar too the type used in my last Enermax and Super flower. Same with the aesthetics of the GPU cables, I’d rather have a braided cable.
What the? How can a Platinum design become a Titanium one? Throughout the article it is platinum, but in “KitHuru says”, you change it to titanium. ?… Hmm, slip of the fingers me says 😉
