A Closer Look – Internal
Opening up the PSU, we can see the 120mm fan on the interior, which comes with a surprisingly large guard to protect some of the internal components.
The fan is a Yate Loon D12SH-12.
The interior looks pretty clean and tidy, with good spacing between all the components, allowing it to keep nice and cool more easily. As this PSU has a hybrid fan mode it can run completely silent at lower loads and temperatures.
The AC line is nicely shielded, and while some of the soldering looks a bit rough, it’s all durably done.
The soldering elsewhere looks pretty great though, with all the PCBs very cleanly laid out and spaced ensuring good airflow. There are a few coils here for the 3.3v, and from what I can see, all the capacitors are Japanese too.
There are two small heatsinks in here, I thought they were quite small, but then reminded myself I’ve been testing 1000W+ units recently, so it makes sense that at 750W, there’s likely less heat being generated in here.
The main bulk capacitor is a Nichicon rated for 400V and 680uf at up to 105c, it’s a good quality part too, and should deal with the majority of the 12v rail requirements.
Antec has used good quality components throughout, with additional 2200uf 16v caps dotted around the PCB.
As well as 6.3v 1500uf. There’s not really a lot else going, it’s well made, but overall a fairly clean and simple interior layout.
