Modular Quiet Gaming Edition PSUs with 135mm fan

1000W Modular Quiet Gaming Edition PSU with 135mm fan [4 in stock] Review

€160,48

This Gaming Edition PSUs from Xilence is a little different to the other Xilence PSUs available. The most obvious difference is the fact this PSU is modular. Modular power supplies are great because you only need to use the cables your system actually needs. This prevents a clump of cables being tied up from your power supply that you have no intention of using. This makes the install very tidy indeed!

The Xilence 1000W module power supplY incorporates a 135mm fan. This provides excellent airflow to the internal components of the PSU without any excessive noise. In fact the noise level of the PSUs starts from a mere 20 db(A).

The power supply is packed with connectors! The 1000W has six PCI-E, seven hard drive Molex, one floppy and a massive 12 SATA connectors. The power supply's PCI-E connectors incorporate two extra pins, making them PCI-E 8-pin. These connectors are used on next generation graphics cards. This means you can run the graphics cards Crossfire or SLI mode without having to worry whether you have the right connectors.

6/8-pin PCI-E connector

The final feature that deserves a mention is that there are two small 3-pin sockets available on the PSU. The socket labelled "Fan", allows for the supplied "case fan power" cable to be attached. This provides an additional three 3-pin fan headers. The second socket labelled "detector", is for a cable that connects to an available 3-pin fan header on the motherboard to allow the user to monitor the RPM of the PSU fan. This cable does not power the fan, it is only a monitoring tool.

Installation Guide

For those customers not familiar with modular power supplies we thought it would be best if we provide a few pointers as to where each cable is connected.

PCI-E Connectors

The PCI-E are the most straight-forward cable to attach. The red coloured plugs fit into the red coloured sockets labelled "PCI-E". When all four connectors have been attached you will have two black 6/8-pin connectors and two red 6-pin connectors all labelled PCI-E ready to be attached to the graphics card/s.

SATA and Molex/Peripherals Connectors

The SATA cables connect to any of the three sockets labelled "SATA" and the Molex connectors connect to the remaining two sockets labelled "Peripheral". We hope the wiring diagrams below will help, just click to enlarge.
