Feature Details
Virtually Silent Operation
- Installed 135mm SilentWings fan includes a wide array of electronic and mechanical optimizations for best-of-class airflow with very low noise production, including:
- unique airflow-optimized fan blade design reduces noise-generating fan turbulence
- advanced fluid dynamic bearing with copper core provides for greatly reduced operating noise and super-long life
- high quality IC motor controller reduces electrical noise
- SilentWings fan is decoupled from the PSU body with special mounts, reducing transmission of vibration and noise
- Optimized PSU airflow design generates superior cooling at lower fan speeds and reduces turbulence around components, thus allowing even quieter operation
- Variable fan speed is optimally governed to strike the best balance between proper cooling and deep quiet
Engineering
- All-new integrated circuit power conversion design features Active Clamp and Synchronous Rectifier (SR) technology for amazing signal stability and power efficiency
- Premium quality capacitors rated to 105°C for maximum reliability and operating life
- Full suite of top safety protections defends against over-currents, over- and under-voltages, short circuits, overheating and overloads, thus safeguarding your valuable components
- Three independent +12V rails improve power signal stability
Energy Efficiency
- 80PLUS GOLD certification independently verifies the extremely high operating efficiency (up to 92.8%) of this design
- High efficiency means money savings, because your PC draws less power from the mains to do its work
- High efficiency also means less waste heat, less cooling required, and overall quieter operation
- Standby drain of less than 0.3 Watts
- Meets Energy Star 5.0 guidelines
- Fulfills ErP 2013 guidelines
- Zero Load design supports Intel’s Deep Power Down C6 mode
Maximum Compatibility and Convenience
