Smart Modular!
Modular PSUs are now becoming the norm. They allow you to connect only the cables you require to power your system which cuts down on the amount of cables inside your system that are not needed. This not only makes your system look tidier but it will also improve airflow because there will not be any unnecessary cables blocking airflow. For any cables that are not being used, Fractal Design provide a handy way of keeping them all together so they are easier to find if you require them in the future.
The Power and Efficiency - 80 PLUS!
When you buy a Fractal Design power supply, you can be reassured that you get what you pay for. 100% real wattage! The PSU is guaranteed to continuously run at specified wattage. Fractal Design test the PSUs by running the power supply beyond the specified wattage without any issues. One other important factor with this PSU is that it has a very good efficiency, hence 80 PLUS certification.
The Silence
Apart from being powerful, these power supplies won't break the quietness. On the contrary, it will be hard to know if it is actually running or not! Fractal Design hand picked a high quality 135mm fan and mounted it with rubber fittings to reduce vibrations. The fan will only spin as much as needed under different loads. The high efficiency of over 80% is crucial since it minimises the heat the power supply emits. This enables the fan to spin at lower speeds, making it quiet at all times.
The Quality
Fractal Design have cut no corners where quality is concerned. They value durability when creating their power supplies. This means you will find only the best components possible inside the PSU itself. For example the capacitors used inside the PSU are Japanese! As a result they offer a massive five years warranty with their PSUs, which proves their confidence in their PSUs.
