As a reviewer, I always look forward to reviewing an Antec power supply, primarily due to fact that they really know how to make a good one! Antec has been around since 1986 and has risen to the elite class of PSU manufacturers for no other reason than quality. Antec has made a real mark on the hardware enthusiast market, primarily with their power supplies and cases, to a point where just about any enthusiast that has been building for a few years would have owned an Antec product at some point.
When a PC has gone bad, often one of the first components to check is the power supply. Thermaltake has released a quick, easy, and automated universal ATX power supply testing device that is designed to give users instant feedback on whether the PSU is working properly. Read on to see how it works and if it will help cut your overall troubleshooting time down when working on troublesome PCs.
Seit Hersteller wie FSP oder SuperFlower auch günstigere Netzteile mit 80Plus Gold bereitstellen, ist das Zertifikat längst nicht mehr nur für High-End-Geräte vorbehalten. Daher setzt sich langsam aber sicher 80Plus Platinum durch, um die Produkte im hohen Preisbereich sichtbar abgrenzen zu können. Um diese Auszeichnung zu erhalten, werden Änderungen vorgenommen, die ein Netzteil insgesamt verändern. Daher wollen wir nun untersuchen, wie sich ein 80Plus-Platinum-Netzteil bei unserem Lasttest schlägt. Außerdem werden wir, wie es bei Neuheiten üblich ist, die Elektronik etwas näher begutachten.
Since getting our greedy mits on an oscilloscope XSR has been back in full swing with PSU reviews, or at least half a PSU review. Today we’ll be doing the same with a couple of Thortech units, part of Thunderbolt Plus range. One’s 800w, the other 1000w. While our test rig can’t pull anywhere near the maximum of these units, let’s see if we can stress them a little.
Most of our readers are very familiar with PC Power & Cooling, so we will skip right to the chase with their latest product. PC Power & Cooling has yet again revamped the Silencer series of power supplies that has become almost infamous for their performance, reliability and low cost.
One of the first things that you will notice is that this unit only has a single 46A 12V rail. It is becoming rare to find a power supply that isn't capable for outputting 99% or more of its power on the 12V rail, but here we have one. What it lacks in 12V output, it makes up for on the minor rails. Both the 3.3V and 12V rails are capable of 24A each with a combined maximum output of 130W. This is more juice on the minor rails than even the recently reviewed XFX ProSeries 1000W PSU. Total combined continuous output is 600W.
It’s always fun when a new company sends you its stuff. You get to see what a big player of the future might be like, or at very least, you end up with some hardware that almost no one else has as the firm doesn’t last very long. Today I’m looking at a PSU from Super Flower, which certainly likes its butterflies. This unit is known as the Golden King, featuring platinum efficiency, a unique thermal profile and the ability to “overlock” to 650w from its standard 550w.
Derzeit sind 80Plus Platinum Netzteile in aller Munde und auch die Nachfrage nach solchen ist sehr groß. Seit das erste Modell vorgestellt wurde, ist der etwas eingeschlafene Netzteil-Markt wieder zum neuen Leben erwacht. Derzeit wollen alle großen Hersteller ihr passendes Produkt schmackhaft machen. So auch Enermax, die in dieser prominenten Runde nicht fehlen dürfen. Mittlerweile erreichen uns wöchentlich neue Pressemitteilungen aus der aktuellen Platimax Serie. Mittlerweile verfügt die Serie über 6 Modelle, 500 bis 1500 Watt. Wir zeigen euch heute das mit 750 Watt.
Thermaltake's Dr. Power II works as advertised, is relatively accurate and has an easily used and intuitive interface. Two testing modes allow the user to make a quick pass or zero in on a suspect connector or rail. It's compact, lightweight and the large LCD screen is easy to read.
This time around it is for their Platimax series of power supplies which offer superb performance at Platinum rated efficiency. We took an early look at the Platimax series late last year when the only PSU we could get our hands on at the time was the 600W model.
We wanted to follow up and see if their high wattage offerings were of the same quality as we were sure our readers would be interested in Platinum efficiency in an enthusiasts quality power supply.
Thermaltake have been active in the power supply sector in the last year, releasing a wide range of supplies to target the broadest possible audience. Today we look at the latest power supply from the company, the Smart M550W, a modular design with 80 Plus Bronze Certification.
