A Closer Look – Interior


The interior looks promising, with a good amount of spacing between all the vital components, which should help with overall airflow throughout the unit.

There’s a Teapo bulk capacitor, rated for 400V, 330uf @ 85c.

Two large heatsinks run down the middle sections of the unit, providing extra cooling for all the vital hardware and helping to break up the airflow from the fan for more efficient cooling.

A small PCB towards the back for the modular connectors, with nice and clean soldering throughout.

Any hard-wired cables are nicely secured, again with tidy soldering and it’s clear that a good amount of care has gone into the construction. There’s not a lot of excess cable here too, so it shouldn’t cause issues with cooling and airflow.

The secondary capacitors deal with all the other voltages in the unit and again, they’re all well spaced and neatly installed. There’s a little protective glue on the coils, helping ensure that if anything were to move inside the unit, they don’t catch and short-out.

A carefully covered EM filter, which should help reduce any electrical noise or ripple.

The fan is one of Fractal Design’s own sleeve bearing 12v models and it looks to be of a very good quality, especially for a PSU in this price range.
