Since the ancient of days, the race of men craved for many desirable objects, ideas, and ultimately, the power and rule over many aspects of the world. This included people such as Julius Caesar, who was a very famous general playing a critical role in the Roman Empire. In the past century, nations have fought because of clashing ideas and world domination, as seen between the Axis and Allied countries during the Second World War. In the famous trilogy The Lord of the Rings, "Nine rings were gifted to the race of men -- who above all else, desire power." Inevitably, only time will tell which side will emerge victorious, while the other side must suffer the consequences of losing. The life cycle must always begin at some point, and ends somewhere down the road. In the world of technology, the concept of functional hardware and hardware failure applies, and the circle of life is of no exception. Take power supplies, for example. What will happen to them when you let them run 24/7 for ten years straight? That's a whopping total of almost 88,000 hours. That it is pretty close to the MTBF of your average PSU; not saying that PSUs will die at exactly 100,000 hours or anything, but hey -- everything has a limited life. Or maybe you just happen to have a spare sitting in the storage room in which you decided to power up again. Running a quick little test on it may save you quite a bit of time rather than plugging everything in and finding out it doesn't work (And what doesn't work). Well, you are just in luck. Thermaltake has now redefined their new power supply tester. For starters, let's just say it looks like a big step up in terms of looks from the 'compass' original Dr. Power into the 'GPS' Dr. Power II we are reviewing today. Keep reading to find out more!
Fractal Design's flagship power supply delivers plenty of power at a good price. Read on the see how well it performs under our tests.
It doesn't happen very often but when a power supply fails you often unaware that anything is wrong until it is too late. This can be especially troubling when you are left troubleshooting random lockups or system crashes and can't tell what the problem is. For issues like this it is sometimes best to "chase the power" and make sure your power supply is operating correctly.

Der Hersteller Enermax präsentiert mit dem Pro82+ II die zweite Revision des Pro82+ Netzteils. Doch was verbirgt sich hinter der neuen Version? Die wohl wichtigste Neuerung ist das Update der PCI-Express Stecker von 6-pin auf 6+2-pin. Zudem wurde das 4+4-pin (8-pin) 12V Kabel auf 60cm verlängert, die HeatGuard Lüfternachlaufsteuerung integriert sowie die CordGuard Netzsteckersicherung ergänzt. In dem heutigen Review sehen wir uns das 425W Modell an, welches sich dank seiner Leistung auch für Mid-Range Gaming-Systeme eignet.
Fractal Design is a Swedish company which started off as a computer case designer and manufacturer. Like most such companies, after they have established a foothold in their original segment of the market, they began diversifying into other segments as well. Naturally, Fractal Design began their diversification towards power supply units, releasing several products, which are today divided into three series based on their 80Plus certification; Integra (Bronze), Tesla (Gold) and Newton (Platinum). The power supply which we will be reviewing today is the Tesla R2 650W. As the name suggests, this is the second revision of the Tesla series.
Aufgrund der immer weiter fortschreitenden Miniaturisierung der PC-Hardware gibt es immer wieder neue Konzepte für Stromversorgungen mit geringstem Platzbedarf. Mini-Box hat mit dem hochintegrierten PicoPSU Pioniers-Arbeit geleistet, mittlerweile verfolgen aber auch verschiedene Hersteller mit Power-Boards denselben Ansatz. Im Test beschränken wir uns auf solche mit 12-Volt-DC-Eingang und untersuchen die Leistungsfähigkeit zugehöriger 12-Volt-Netzteile.
What is the first thing that comes to mind when I mention the words 'cake' and 'cheese'? Cheese that is melted on top of a cake? A cake made out of cheese? Or should I simply refer to it as a cheesecake? Recently, I have been reading Preston's Toughpower Grand 750W report, and thought to myself: What better way is there to start the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200W review, than to plagiarize a few lines from the my colleague's article introduction earlier in March this year? Now obviously plagiarism and cheesecakes have nothing to do with a power supply we are reviewing today -- but before you click the little 'X' next to your browser's tab, let me ask you this question first before moving on further in this review: Would you buy an ugly looking cheesecake to munch down on, or an ugly plagiarized cake (Oh yes, cakes can be plagiarized) for that special someone? Probably not, and I believe nine out of ten people would agree also. In the world of computers, PC enthusiasts will go pretty far in obtaining hardware to make their system look pretty, and I have to admit that I am one of them. Not too long ago, I was checking my email, and it so happens Thermaltake dropped by with a note asking if I wanted to check out the Toughpower Grand 1200W. At first glance, it still has a simple, yet unique strip of red on a dark matte body with rounded corners; this no different than any other models in this product line. Knowing how awesome the 750W is with regards to its top notch build quality and simply class leading performance, without further thought, I told myself this is really the one to get if I desired awesomeness. But what and how much has changed under the hood in this kilowatt-plus monster? Keep reading to see what we have found!
Corsair updates its PSU lineup with the new RMi series. We take a look at the RM750i to find out why it is clearly one of best 750W units on the market.
orsair's AX860 might lack the digital capabilities of its AXi series companion, but it still puts out some awesome numbers.
