A Closer Look – Interior
There’s quite a lot going on inside this PSU, with hardware packed into the interior of the unit. There are a few trailing wires, but overall it does look pretty neat and tidy, which should help with airflow.
There are two main bulk capacitors, each rated for 450V 470 uF and 105C, so there’s no doubt that this unit will be able to provide some serious high-end power.
There’s a few smaller capacitors located around the bulk capacitors, which have been covered with thick passive heat sinks to help keep things nice and cool.
All the capacitors found in this unit are of a very high quality, all with 105c ratings.
There’s even more caps on the output board, which are there to help with voltage regulation.
Most of the components also have smaller passive heat sinks to help keep temperatures down, something that will no doubt help this unit deliver high levels of power around the clock.
The AC input and EM filtering stage.
Even more regulation capacitors and heat sinks.
The fan is a 135mm dual ball bearing (DBB Silence) and comes with four angled support arms to help better direct the airflow downwards to the PSU components.
