Xfx 650w modular edition psu review

Moreover, the DC-DC converters responsible for generating the minor rails ensure compatibility with the C6 and C7 sleep states that Intel's Haswell processors introduced. Besides modular cables, you also get a full set of protection features. The cooling fan uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing that facilitates a longer lifetime. Meanwhile, as mentioned, the only downside appears to be the smaller fan.

A larger one would enable the same airflow at lower speeds, hence noise output would be lower. At least we get a semi-passive mode to keep acoustics in check under light loads. Physically, the unit's dimensions are small given its capacity, and the provided five-year warranty is satisfactory. The minor rails are quite strong, offering W maximum combined power.

Finally, the 5VSB rail tops out at 15W of capacity, so it won't trouble you unless you want to charge two energy-hungry tablets at the same time. The number of cables is huge, even for a W PSU. You get a ton of SATA and peripheral connectors as well. The only flaw is that the single Berg connector is fixed on a modular cable along with several four-pin Molex connectors. Normally, the FDD connector works best as an adapter since only a few folks need it.

Finally, all connectors employ standard gauge wires. Home Reviews. Our Verdict. Tom's Hardware Verdict. Rail 3. Power Amps 25 25 70 3 0. Plus I like green. You don't even see the fan no ways after its in esp bottom mounted. This one does look good. It's not a boring old flat box. Wish more psu's came modular since most people are into cable management.

All I can say is, Get rid of the floppy connector or make it modular to plug on a molex if needed. Gaming system with power hungry psu's don't need like two of those. Looks pretty good actually. Yeah Modular is cool when putting my nephews and brothers systems together their modular psus made things a lot easier. Got a source on that?
