Like most recent power supplies, these Xilence Power PSUs are fitted with a 120mm fan. This produces higher airflow at lower noise levels compared to a 80mm fan. The noise levels generated by these PSUs are very favourable. Starting from just 19.5 dB(A) and reaching a maximum of only 24 dB(A), these power supplies remain very quiet even when under high load.
Available in three different wattages there is a power supply for all systems. The 420W and 480W PSUs are ideal for mid range systems and the 600W PSU can provide enough power for virtually any high-end system. The 600W PSU is supplied with two 6-pin PCI-E connectors for SLI and Crossfire systems. The 420 and 480W PSUs are supplied with one 6-pin PCI-E connector.
