Today we take a look at one of the new power supplies from Fractal Design – their Ion+ 660p, a Platinum rated fully modular power supply which according to the company focuses on low noise performance. Fractal are also keen to highlight their new UltraFlex DC Cable design along with a full 10 year warranty for peace of mind. It is a single +12V rail design.

Fractal are making a concerted effort to break a price point with these Ion+ Platinum rated power supplies. This 660Watt model is priced at only £104.99/$109.99. There are three other models in the range, a 560P (£94.99/$99.99), a 760P (£114.99/$119.99) and a 860p (£124.99/$129.99). We also have the 860p model in our labs and a full review of that model will be published shortly.

One of the companies key focus points are the aforementioned UltraFlex DC cables. These are high stand count cables with specially formulated insulation which make it possible to reduce the conductors to just 0.08mm in diameter without loss of efficiency or current capacity.

I have no idea who Fractal's OEM partner is for these supplies, but we will be able to tell once we open the unit later in the review.
