Black seems to be the color they are going for with this PSU; you got a black casing and also sleeving with a few stickers on the top and side. Something I found nice is that the On/Off button on the back of the unit is about twice the size compared to most other power supplies on the market, this makes it much easier to find it while stretching  behind the computer.

Inside the casing you will find an 135mm fan that will be interesting to see how it performs noise wise.

The modular cables are easy to mount and they secure with a click system, which means the clip will keep it in place for secure connection.

This unit is packed with amps as we can see on the right image.

Testing:

Testing was done with the following test setup:

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3,3GHz
Motherboard: Asus P8P64 PRO Rev 3.1
RAM: Patriot 4GB DDR3
HDD: Patriot TorqX 2 128GB SSD, Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD
Videocard:  ATI Radeon 6850

Testing was done by using the OCCT software to run the computer at high load while also looping SuperPi and running Starwars The Old Republic.

I know that our loads tests won’t take advantage of more than ~400W but this will give you an idea of this units performance.

3,3V Rail:

With our mesauring equipment we measure a max voltage of 3,34V  but on average it stuck at 3,3V. We had some minor flickering between 3,3-3,34V.

    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?
