The fan is made by Young Lin Tech (DFS132512H) – a similar model used in the recent Cooler Master Silent Pro M 600W review. As the lighting shows above the fans are partially transparent which gives it a nice appearance, it is limited to 1,700 rpm and is thermally controlled.
Internally the unit is clean and rather spartan looking and this is following a HEC design who are the OEM behind this particular implementation. The heatsinks look rather small however and we hope this won't affect the cooling performance later in the review.
The primary capacitor is a high quality Nippon Chemi Con industrial grade product which is rated to 105c, 400v/470uf. The soldering on the PCB is of a very high quality with no apparent issues on the engineering side.
The transient filtering stage is composed of two Y capacitors and two X capacitors and the design is yet again simple and clean.
The secondary stage capacitors are high quality, industrial rated Teapo products. The cabling is fully sleeved into the unit which should stop any possible wire fraying on a long term basis.
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.
