Archive for the ‘Power supply units’ Category Antec CP-850w When it comes to PSUs, for years now the ATX unit has taken centre stage with little thought going into producing a different form factor. However, Antec have changed all this and decided that it is time for a revamp. Their new form factor, christened the CPX, is a lot bigger so as to allow more room for the guts and allow a less restrictive airflow. Electrically, it’s just an ATX power supply but unfortunately the size means that a limited selection of cases can take the unit – unless of course you’re into modding. Antec clearly hope the new form factor catches on and their first model is the CP-850, but is all the hype really justified? Let’s have a look… Seventeam V-Force 650w Enermax, Corsair, Coolermaster, Thermaltake; all big names in the power supply industry and are known performers. The units from these bigger brand names tend to come at a price but is that price really justified compared to other units especially when we know that many smaller companies produce OEM units for the bigger ones. For example, Seventeam – a unit of who’s we will be looking at today – are the OEM manufacturer for some of Thermaltake’s units. Introducing the Seventeam V-Force Series 650W PSU; let’s take it for a spin. Rasurbo GAP 750w Power supplies are neither the most glamorous nor the most exciting part of a computer but they are essential to every rig. In recent times they have developed into being much more than just the power provider and in a time where looks are everything, style is a big factor not to mention noise and most importantly in the credit crunch, pricing. Rasurbo, which I must admit to not having heard of before, have released the GAP GaminX and Quiet PSU Series which hopes to tick all the boxes. We have the 750W unit here today so let’s see how it shapes up. Zalman 770 XT Choosing a power supply gives endless choice with seemingly hundreds of units to choose from; with different watts, colours, sizes and styles. But, it all boils down to two things – stable rails and efficiency. With poor performance in these two areas, no matter how glamorous or how quiet the unit may be, it’s not really up to scratch. At XSReviews today, we have a 770W unit that comes from a very reputable company. Introducing the Zalman ZM770-XT Z-Machine Extreme PSU, let’s see if it can blow us away with its performance. Spire Blackmoon 450w With high emphasis on high wattage and the most ‘bang for your buck’ in recent times, is it time we took a step back and looked at much lower wattage units in order to help the environment and become a little greener? Today at XSReviews we have a small, mid priced unit to put to the test, let’s see if it can persuade any of you to swap to a less electricity munching unit. Tuniq Potency 650w With the extremes having being recently reviewed here on XSReviews, from 1000w to 450W, today we have a PSU that is somewhere in the middle with a wattage of 650. The manufacturer Tuniq has a reputation for producing high quality units so let’s hope the Potency 650 is no different. Only one way to find out. Enermax Pro 82 When Enermax contacted us regarding reviewing a power supply for them, we were pleasantly surprised. With such a prime range of PSUs, it’s difficult to see why Enermax would release yet another series of units. However this was made clearer after doing some research…price. All of Enermax’s units top the £60 bracket, but the Pro 82+ series is aimed more so at the low-mid range and the price reflects this. But by still maintaining price, Enermax boasts that the Pro 82 range provides outstanding efficiency and a quiet fan. Let’s see how this 425w unit holds up. Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 850w There are many PSU companies out there, from well known ones like Coolermaster, Corsair, Hiper and Enermax, to some more obscure ones like Ikonik, Silver Power and InWin; here at XSR we've reviewed units from all of them. Today I'm checking out one from another relatively unknown company, Be Quiet. Being closely knit with gaming peripheral makers Revoltec gave these guys a good head start in our books here, but how will the unit stand up compared to the myriad of PSUs we've reviewed recently? Only one way to find out. Let's get testing. InWin Commander 1200w Having previously reviewed the InWin Commander 750w, and being very impressed, the guys at InWin thought I should have a look at their bigger, badder version, the 1200w. Let's see if this can stand up to the already sterling reputation of the 750w version. Coolermaster UCP 1100w When it comes to cases, Coolermaster are one of the big name manufacturers that most see going hand in hand with quality. In recent years they've extended their reach in the hardware world to many different markets, but one of the biggest ones has to be their range of PSUs. Today I have the chunky UCP 1100w unit. Let's see how it compares to the myriad of PSUs we've looked at recently.

Is é an fachtóir foirm nua, baisteadh an CPX, a lán níos mó ionas gur féidir seomra níos mó le haghaidh an inní agus airflow níos lú srianta a cheadú. Leictreach, tá sé ach ina soláthar cumhachta ATX ach ar an drochuair ciallaíonn an méid gur féidir le rogha teoranta de chásanna a chur ar an t-aonad - ach amháin má ar ndóigh tá tú i modding.
