600 Watt Power Supply
With dual SLI graphics cards, serial ATA hard-drive arrays, dual core CPUs, and gigabytes of RAM, the power user these days needs more power than ever. Phoronix reviews the X-Finity power supply unit for our pleasure. It's kind of funny to think the Mac Mini, which I do most of my computing on, runs on a massive 85 watts. Everyone say "oohhhhh!"this power supply performed very well in our test system. The rails were rock solid and reasonably close to their ideal specifications. Switching to the X-Finity PSU even allowed us to attain a higher overclock than was possible before. Appearance wise this unit is also very nice. The mirror Titanium finish and LED fans were definitely a welcome improvement to the system...we can recommend this unit to anyone looking with a system is similar to our testbed in terms of power draw. Overall we were very pleased with the results.
