Here is a quick question to test your IQ: What came after case windows? Well, vanity lighting kits that go inside your computer, of course. Back when AMD Athlon 64 processors were the rage among computer enthusiasts, my Cooler Master Cavalier 1 is equipped with two blue cold cathodes I purchased from a fellow American friend for $12 including shipping. It was really one of the coolest things in my opinion. I would stare inside, and marvel at the workings of my unique combination of printed circuit boards and multitude of fans working hard to keep the system temperature in check. Sure, blue cold cathodes look extremely generic by today's standards, and "cold" cathodes are far from being "cold" -- but the options we have do not go much further than that. The situation improved significantly when I got my hands on those Lamptron case lighting products in June 2008. In terms of technology, LEDs are compact and much more efficient, so it was easy -- at least for me -- to be creative with the color combination. But that's not for everyone, because even I have to admit a good amount of them were quite hard to mount properly. It was not until recently that chassis manufacturer NZXT finally came up with a solution to all these things. The NZXT Sleeved LED kit is a far more elegant answer to the usual improvised mounting methods employed by computer enthusiasts. Promising easy implementation for anywhere installation, how well does it translate to real life applications? We picked up three sets to see how it goes. Read on to find out what we have found!
Wer in der Vergangenheit an Club 3D gedacht hat, dachte vermutlich zunächst an Grafikkarten. Ab sofort kommt der Bereich der Netzteile hinzu und somit steht Erstmalig heute ein Kraftspender der Firma Club 3D auf unserem Prüfstand. Es handelt sich dabei um das Modell CSP-D850CB mit einer Ausgangsleistung von 850W. Innerhalb dieser CSP Serie sind außer der 850W Variante noch Modelle mit den Ausgangsleistungen 400W, 600W, 700W und 1000W erhältlich.
NZXT’s Sleeved LED Kit makes it easy to add lighting to your case and gives you flexibility on where to run the lights. With a variety of color choices along with lengths in one and two meters, they are sure to meet your case lighting needs.
The new LSX series from Ultra so far features only two models, 650 W and 750 W, both with 80 Plus Bronze certification, single +12 V rail, synchronous design with DC-DC modules for the +5 V and +3.3 V outputs in its secondary, and lifetime warranty (if you register the product after buying it).
We all know, the computer industry isn’t one to wait and loves nothing more than to push out the newer, shinier latest and greatest. Still however, although aged, the Toughpower and Toughpower XT lines are still relevant today as ever.
Okay, here we go: Last in-house article of the year. Just when you thought you just got used to writing '2010', it is time to update our brain calendar and practice writing '2011' starting... well, tomorrow. For those who were dreaming of a white Christmas and didn't get any (Which is really not the case for me, because we get that a little too often here in Canada -- of course, other than the igloos we live in, and polar bears we ride on a daily basis), in yours truly's personal opinion, the next best thing is a white power supply. Yeah yeah, call out for a lame introduction. But the point is, NZXT's HALE90 is really one of a kind. When I loaded up the company's website a short while ago, the moment I saw the NZXT HALE90's photo on their front page, I knew I just had to get my hands on this for my next main computer refresh. Since 2006, I have used a variety of Seasonic power supplies exclusively for my primary system, mainly because of their excellent performance, impeccable reliability, near silent operation, and top notch efficiency. And all four attributes are just as important as the next. This is where the NZXT HALE90 comes into the picture. Other than receiving excellent reviews from reputable websites that demonstrates this product's high load performance, 80 Plus Gold certification, large 140mm fan (Without actually using it, my best guess is that it would be acoustically silent, in which we will cover later in this report), the company adds one more thing to push everyone else aside: Looks. Unlike traditional matte black power supply units, this one has a sleek white painted exterior. But what makes NZXT's HALE90 so great beyond the surface? We cracked open a 750W example open to take a look at the hardware under the hood.
Zu den eher seltenen Gästen bei unseren Netzteiltests gehörte bis jetzt sicherlich Antec. Nun haben gleich drei verschiedene Modelle den Weg in die Testabteilung gefunden. Den Anfang macht das True Power 550 (Modell TP550) mit einer Ausgangsleistung von 550W. Innerhalb dieser neu überarbeiteten Serie sind außerdem die Ausgangsleistungen 650W und 750W erhältlich.
Mit dem Straight Power E8 präsentiert Be Quiet einen Nachfolger des bekannten Straight Power E7. Das neue Modell soll mit einer hohen Effizienz, DC-DC-Technik sowie einer geringen Lautstärke ein Top-Produkt im Mittelklassesegment darstellen. Wir klären, ob das Netzteil dem hohen Anspruch gerecht wird.
Last month we reviewed Antec’s new 80 Plus Gold Certified ‘High Current Pro 850W‘ power supply, and we were impressed. Today we are looking at the 900W model in their ‘High Current Gamer’ range. As this series is 80 Plus Bronze Certified, it is a little more affordable, with the 900w unit retailing for only £100 inc vat.
Zalman quickly made a name for themselves in the quiet PC sector years ago and have been somewhat of a pioneer in quiet and efficient cooling. Shortly after grabbing a firm hold of the heatsink and fan market, Zalman went on to produce quiet power supplies and have been quite successful in doing so. Those who seek a quiet yet high powered PC will be interested in the unit on the test bench today, as it offers lots of power with little noise.
