The power supply itself is a plain looking product finished in a grey casing which should work well in a variety of cases. We had secretly hoped it would be finished in green to match the ‘environmental' theme, but this would probably look rather ugly.
The 140mm fan takes pride of place on the top of the Xigmatek PC702 and if configured correctly should mean that this PSU is a relatively quiet unit.
There isn't much happening with the design, its plain grey from all angles, with only a sticker on the side showing the output specifications. The unit can deliver 54A on the 12V line (648W).
The cabling included is as follows:
- 1x 24 pin ATX connector
- 1x 4/4 12V CPU power connector
- 2x 6 pin 12V PCIe connectors
- 2x 6+2 pin 12V PCIe connectors
- 8x Sata Connectors
- 1x Floppy Connector
- 7x Molex Connectors
This is pretty much as we would expect from a 700W modern day PSU and there is enough connectivity to satisfy the majority of the enthusiast audience.
nice internal design very clean in layout composition
Most boring looking power supply ever, but lets be honest chaps who the hell ever looks at them anyway 🙂 one installed, thats it until they fail as far as im concerned 🙂
a guy in work has this PSU, its very good. he powers a high end intel 5850 based system and it runs well.
whats an intel 5850, a new CPU?
No i meant an intel based system with HD5850s in crossfire.
for under 70 pounds this is hard to find fault with really. many 700-800w psus are almost twice this price. bit of a bargain find.
May I make a suggestion? Would it be possible, in future PSU reviews, to make at least some mention of the length of the cables, obviously it would be preferable for these measurements to be more specific and scientific.
I think that cable lengths are an important consideration when buying a PSU, obviously not as important as getting a good one, but still a useful bit of information to have.
Thanks for the otherwise, very useful power supply reviews.
