The LEPA G700 power supply is a marvellous product which looks very attractive. We would assume opinion will be divided when factoring in the bright gold fan, but at least internally with this design they have opted for plain black heatsinks, instead of bright blue.
Technically the LEPA product is excellent, which isn't a surprise, as it is basically the award winning Modu87+ 700W, rebadged and given a new name.
Load regulation is excellent, and the product passed our cross loading test with flying colours. Efficiency is superb, achieving 92% at around 50% load. Noise suppression is also a strong point for this design, falling well within all the rated parameters.
The Twister fan is one of the best on the market, and the noise levels are kept low, only becoming audible in the top 30% of power output. Cooling efficiency is excellent with all the components receiving plenty of cool air from the large fan above.
Pricing in the UK for a 80 Plus Gold certified modular power supply is competitive, we have found it on several stores for around £120 inc vat, which is £30-£40 less than the original Modu 87+ 700w design, a year later.
Pros:
- Pricing is competitive.
- very efficient design.
- strong noise suppression.
- Modular design.
- Twister fan.
Cons:
- The bright gold fan might not appeal to everyone.
