Corsair certainly seem to have the Midas touch – earning a great reputation with whatever market they decide to target. Their reputation in the power supply sector is already one of the best and today we are looking at the follow up to the original CX430 – the new CX430 V2, created to offer a solid, reliable power supply at the lowest possible price point.
Generally for the average consumer, specific brands are chosen over others; whether it may be due to customer satisfaction, personal experience, external influence, etc. Do you prefer Coke or Pepsi? Canon or Nikon? Cooler Master or Thermaltake? The list goes on. Whatever the reason may be, the fact remains that we tend to enjoy the company of products from manufacturer "A" rather than manufacturer "B" -- and that's quite alright! Of course, the area of computer related hardware is far more malleable than say, your choice of soft drink. What I mean here is that although there are brands that we absolutely adore, we cannot ignore products that are released by another brand that simply blow the community away. Example, you purchase an Intel SSD and you are a proud supporter of Intel (Who wouldn't be). However, here comes OCZ Technology with the release of a new SSD -- in this case let's just say the new highly recommended 1337 imba OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB -- and as an enthusiast, you just cannot ignore the absolute amazing awesomeness of such engineering. Long story short, you get it. Am I implying that I prefer Thermaltake PSU's over Cooler Master and Cooler Master released a new PSU that will blow my mind? No. In this situation, I am looking a little deeper, more specifically towards Cooler Master's GX Series of power supply units. If you are a layman reading this, you probably have no clue as to what I am saying. Let me explain. Although the GX line of power supply units are all from Cooler Master, the new GX 450W is actually manufactured by an entirely OEM than other infamous units of the same product line. So, in a sense, performance of the GX 450W is entirely different than the other PSUs of the series. So what happened under the hood? Read on to find out!
The ZS Series is the latest mainstream power supply series from OCZ, with up to 85% labeled efficiency and models ranging from 550 W to 750 W. Let’s see if the 650 W version is a good buy.
Antec is certainly well known throughout the industry for their quality power supplies at an affordable price. The units that we've taken a look at in the past have proven to be no exception to this and we wanted to take a look at another unit from Antec to see what they had to offer for our readers. Antec kindly responded to our request and sent us over the HCG-620.
Technic3D hat das be quiet! Pure Power BQT L8-CM-430W Netzteil im Test. Die neue L8 Serie kann gegenüber der L7 Serie mit Kabelmanagement und einem Silet Wings Lüfter aufwarten. Ob sich der Aufpreis zur immer noch aktuellen L7 Serie lohnt, steht im nachfolgenden Review.
Aujourd'hui, et comme nous l'avons déjà fait par le passé, nous mettons à jour notre comparatif d'alimentations avec deux nouveaux modèles de marques que nous connaissons bien. D'un coté, nous testons la toute nouvelle Pure Power L8 de Be Quiet dans sa version 530 watts, et de l'autre, la FSP Aurum 550 watts dans sa version modulaire. Go go go go ...
Those old enough will remember OCZ as being one of the leaders in the enthusiast memory sector and in recent years they have focused on the Solid State Drive sector, producing many cutting edge products. They took over PC Power & Cooling a few years ago to enhance their company portfolio and have been releasing a solid array of supplies for both the mass market and enthusiast sector. Today we are looking at the latest 650W from the ZT power Supply series which rests right in the middle of their range, between the ModXStream Pro and Fatal1ty Series.
When OCZ bought PC Power & Cooling, the company said that PC Power & Cooling power supplies wouldn't have modular cabling systems. Well, scratch that. The latest release from the brand, the Silencer Mk III, features a modular cabling system and carries the 80 Plus Bronze certification, coming in 400 W, 500 W, and 600 W versions. Let's test the 600 W version and see if it is a good choice.
Today we are looking at the latest Pure Power 630 watt supply from German market leaders, BeQuiet. This company focus on creating a quality power supply with the lowest possible noise emissions. The ‘L8′ version is the 8th iteration of the series which is 80 Plus Bronze certified with a very high quality, custom designed fan called the ‘Silent Wings’.
Kaum ein Unternehmen, welches Netzteile unter seinem eigenen Namen vertreibt, bietet nur eine einzige Serie an und so war es nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis auch NZXT sein Portfolio an Netzteilen erweitert. Nach dem Hale Power 90+, welches einen positiven Eindruck in unseren Tests hinterlassen hat, kommt mit der Hale82-Serie nun quasi der günstigere Ableger. So besitzen die neuen Netzteile keine 80-Plus-Gold-Zertifizierung mehr, sollen aber dennoch durch die 80-Plus-Bronze-Zertifizierung sparsam zu Werke gehen. Ebenfalls mit modularen Kabeln ausgestattet fällt es sogar noch etwas kompakter aus. Wie sich das Hale82 mit 650 Watt Leistung schlägt, klären wir auf den folgenden Seiten.
