Rosewill Glacier 600W Gaming Power Supply Review

A Closer Look – Interior


There’s not a huge amount of hardware inside this unit, but that’s to be expected for a lower wattage unit. The PCB is nicely spaced out, and doesn’t actually fill the chassis, which is likely larger to help accommodate the fan rather than the other components.

The power input is well shielded and filtered, and while it could look a little neater, it’s really not an issue.

The main bulk capacitor is a 420v 360uF rated Teapo, which can operate up to 85c. It’s really nothing fancy, but it’ll get the job done on a 600W unit.

There’s quite a lot of cable here for a semi-modular unit, but cables are kept out of the way by a few cable ties, and all the solder points look tidy enough.

Running through the PSU, you’ll find two aluminium heat sinks running around the main transformers, they’re quite small, but again, they’re well spaced out and this isn’t a particularly powerful unit, so it should be enough for cooling.

The DC-DC is nice and out of the way also, in fact, with a little tweaking it looks like this PCB could easily be made smaller, but at least that space allows for more free movement of airflow from the fan.

Some of the points on the cable PCB look a little scruffy as if done in a hurry, but they seem solid enough overall.

The included fan is a Poweryear 12V model, which can run up to 1800RPM.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
