The fan controller allows you to change the speed of the PSU fan and also three fans in the case itself. This is a very nice feature although most PSU fans these days are pretty darn silent. The question is though if it’s worth lowering the rpm even more on the fan since you most likely won’t hear the end result due to the loudness of the other fans in the system.

All modular cables are nicely packed in this little bag that closes with velcro, we can see that even the ATX cables on this unit is modular so it will be intresting to see if we can maintain stability under load with a removable ATX cable.

In the top left corner of the unit there is a small chart that shows which modular cables are hooked up to where. From top left it is fan cables, CPU cables and middle row is for the SATA/HDD’s and bottom left (grey ones) are for PCI-E while the last big one is for the ATX cable.

This is not the most powerful PSU on the market but 70A on the 12V rail should do the trick to handle most things on the market, even SLI and Crossfire setups along with dual CPU’s so anything you can throw at it pretty much.

    how loud is it under load the GX
    series aparently have some trouble with a wierd buzzzz sound

      I dont think its horribly loud and I dont have a buzz noise (yet atleast)

      That’s because the plain GX is an extremely low end design that can barely put out 500W. It was and is a piece of shit. This newer version, on the other hand, is a pretty decent ATNG design, who used to make server units.

      Also, capacitor/coil squelling is a luck of draw. It can happen to any unit, and gives you the right to RMA if it happens so.

    Funny how in the specs it says 6-2 pin x4 times and the review says only 2 and its not capable of crossfire/sli. Why should i buy a 700w power supply when i cant even connect two 7950s? what is it now 2x 6-2 pin or 4x 6-2 pin?
