The first thing to hit you is the fact that the HALE90 750W power supply is finished with white paint. It wouldn't be our first choice, but it certainly stands out in the crowded marketplace. We would love to hear your views on this colour scheme in the comments section or on the forums.
A large 140mm fan takes centerstage, a rather dramatic design, particularly when set behind the black grill. We aren't sure that a large portion of the enthusiast community will be happy with a white power supply as it won't match many systems, but after living with it for a few weeks we actually ended up liking it.
The unit is fully vented at the rear to allow for a high level of heat dissipation when under load.
The HALE90 750W is not a fully modular design with core cabling emitting from the left side of the chassis.
Connectivity support is very good with 4 PCI-Express cables available, it is a shame they weren't all 6+2 pin, but for this power range it is perfectly acceptable. There are seven molex and eight SATA connectors, not the best we have seen for a 750W power supply, but again more than enough for most people.
The NZXT HALE90 750W is closely matched to quality models in the same power output currently available on the market. It has a 12V capability of up to 62A which is 99% of the units total capacity. The minor rails are limited to around 120W at peak which while good, isn't the best we have seen.
The cabling is fully sleeved into the chassis and there is an additional rubber grommet on the naked metal for added protection.
I actually like the colour ! im sick of black psu’s. this would stand out in something like the xigmatek knight chassis.
A similar design like this was used in a few other PSU’s recently and it is technically sound. I am glad to see more nippon capacitors used in this one however. those are quality.
I love the white, ive been wanting something different for ages. the antec blue pro units are lovely too.
I like the superflower products. they were one of the first companies to introduce 140mm fans in these units.
Well its certainly a good way to get into this high end sector with a gold cert product. Not much I can fault, although a white PSU would stand out like a sore thumb in my own modded case.
The only downside is that in the UK this is very closely priced against the corsair AX750 and its on the road to a hiding against it.
I bought this last week in California and I love it, its silent.
I wondered about this and im quite pleased to see its very good. our local store has them on offer for 50 off this month.
Id love to know how these are selling, it seems everyone and their grandmother head over to the far east to strike up PSU Deals. so many models flooding the market.
Hi all,
Thanks for this wonderful post and hoping to post more of this!
