The new EarthWatts series represents a huge step for Antec as these new units are their first 80Plus Platinum rated units to come to market. Antec currently offers the latest iteration of EarthWatts power supplies in 450W, 550W and 650W varieties.
Antec is hopping on the Platinum bandwagon strong with claims that the EarthWatts 650W Platinum unit can reduce power consumption by up to 25%.
NZXT have been gaining popularity among the enthusiast community by releasing a range of competent and appealing cases, such as the Phantom. Today we are going to look at something a little different from the company. NZXT have released a kit of four very attractive sleeved extension cables. What makes them so appealing besides their great look is the price, which should be around £18/$25.
It really feels like centuries since i last reviewed a power supply unit and so todays review is not only the first of its kind here but also the first one i test with a new test rig (well not actually new since the components are pretty much what I’ve always used, just on a different test bench). I am sure that by now most of you are well aware about the reasons as to why people should always prefer brand name power supplies over noname ones but for all of you who are not i can point the 3 perhaps most important ones which are clean and stable power for your system (translates to more life for your computer), higher quality components (more durable) and finally lower noise levels (who likes noise?). So today on the new test bench we have the latest Antec HCG-620M, a 620 modular unit targeted towards the mid-end segment of the market and more specifically gamers.
Jusqu'à présent, Cooler master ne disposait pas encore d'une alimentation qui avait la capacité de fonctionner en mode passif. Aujourd'hui, c'est le cas avec cette Silent Pro Hybrid. Une alimentation qui est donc de type Semi Fanless et qui propose en plus de bonnes puissances, jusqu'à 1300 watts en 80 Gold. Nous testons ce jour le modèle 1050 watts, qui est livré avec un intéressant rhéobus.
NZXT are back with a new Hale82 range, this time featuring a N suffix which signifies non-modular PSU. Is it a worthy addition to the Hale82 range? We have the 750w model on our test bench to find out.
Im Rahmen der Computex 2012 hatte PC Games Hardware die exklusive Möglichkeit, dem Hauptquartier von Seasonic in Taipei, Taiwan einen Besuch abzustatten. Neben einer Führung samt Treffen mit dem CEO höchstpersönlich erhielten wir interessante Einblicke in die Firmengeschichte sowie -philosophie; auch Anekdoten kamen nicht zu kurz.
The IN WIN 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified GreenMe series is a high performance power supply series that is said deliver quality and efficiency at an affordable price. The In Win GreenMe 650W has four +12V rails that are each rated at 25 Amps and a single 120mm double ball-bearing fan to keep everything cool. Read on to see how this sub $70 power supply does on our test bench!
Let’s see how this 750 W model with the 80 Plus Platinum certification, modular cabling system, and single +12 V rail from AZZA fared in our tests.
Another day, another PSU. This time around it’s the Corsair Gaming Series (GS) 800w unit, featuring four PCIexpress connectors, a clear bladed, quiet fan, 80 PLUS certified and braided cable sleeves. All in all, a pretty bog standard unit with a reasonable ammount of power. While we can’t offer a full test suite here at XSR, we can check that it passes noise/ripple safety tests, so let’s get to it.
Ever since multi-rail PSUs were introduced, we’ve seen enthusiasts adamantly claim that one or the other PSU type is better. Some claim single rail is better for overclocking. Some claim multi-rail is safer. Single rail is cleaner. Multi-rail more efficient. The list goes on and on, so who’s right? People on either side argue their points and pick up uninformed followers along the way, resulting in the same rehashed marketing over and over again from companies playing on this vehement fanboyism: A single strong 12v rail! Multi-rail for extra stability! Blah blah. Which is better? How does this apply to me? Keep reading, and I may just give you an answer.
