Power

The output power of the power supply, in other words, is the maximum power that it is capable of delivering to the system. For the computer to operate efficiently, the power supply must be greater than the total power consumption of the system at maximum load. The latter can be calculated by summing the power of individual components, however, in general, for office configurations , about 400 W450 W is considered sufficient, for medium gaming — about 600 W( 500 W, 550 W, 650 W, 700 W, 750 W), and for the top ones — power of 800 W and above ( 850 W, 1000 W and even more than 1 kW).

Cooling system

1 fan. The most common option. The power of such a system is quite enough to cool the power supplies, including Above average and relatively inexpensive. On the other hand, fan operation creates noticeable noise, especially in low-cost power supplies with small diameter fans (see "Fan Diameter").

2 fans. The second fan is usually installed in powerful power supplies, for which the power of one fan is not enough. The price for such efficiency, in addition to increased cost, is an increased noise level.

— to Semi-passive cooling. A function that allows you automatically turn off the PSU cooling system in situations where the load on the power supply is low and heat dissipation is reduced. It is found only in models with active cooling. Recall that systems of this type are more efficient than passive ones, but they consume additional energy and create noise during operation. Accordingly, at a light load, when intensive cooling is not required, it is more reasonable to turn off the fans — this saves energy and reduces the noise level.

Passive(radiators). Compared to fans, heatsinks have a number of advantages: for example, they do not create noise at all and do not require their own power supply (thus reducing overall power consumption). On the other hand, they are much less efficient, as a result — the power...of power supplies with passive cooling does not exceed 600 watts. In addition, these PSUs are quite expensive.

Fan size

The diameter of the fan(s) in the power supply cooling system.

The large diameter allows to achieve good efficiency at relatively low RPMs, which in turn reduces noise and power consumption. On the other hand, large fans are more expensive than small ones and take up a lot of space, which affects the dimensions of the entire PSU. We also emphasize that a small fan is not yet a sign of a cheap power supply — quite advanced models can also have such equipment, in order to reduce dimensions.

As for specific diameters, the smallest value that can be found in modern consumer-grade PSUs is 80 mm. The most popular option is 120 mm, this size gives good efficiency and a relatively low noise level at a reasonable price and dimensions. Larger diameters are somewhat less common — 135 mm and 140 mm.

ATX12V version

A standard for power supplies that supplements the ATX specifications regarding power supply along the 12 V line. Introduced into use since the time of the Intel Pentium 4 processor. In the first series of the standard, the +5 V line was mainly used; from version 2.0, the +12 V line was introduced to fully power the components computer. Also in the second generation, a 24-pin power connector appeared, used in most modern motherboards.

SATA

The number of SATA power connectors provided in the PSU.

Nowadays, SATA is the standard interface for connecting internal hard drives, and it is also found in other types of drives (SSD, SSHD, etc.). Such an interface consists of a data connector connected to the motherboard, and a power connector connected to the PSU. Accordingly, in this paragraph we are talking about the number of SATA power plugs provided in the PSU. This number corresponds to the number of SATA drives that can be simultaneously powered from this model.

PCI-E 16pin

the 16-pin PCI-E power connector is designed to replace the existing 8-pin counterparts. It consists of twelve lines for current supply and four more for data transmission. The connector provides up to 600 W of additional power, which is a fourfold increase in power compared to 8-pin versions of the interface. Additional PCI-E connectors of all formats are used to power those types of internal peripherals that are no longer enough with 75 W supplied directly through the PCI-E socket on the motherboard.

Floppy

The presence of at least one Floppy power connector in the PSU.

Initially, this connector was intended to power floppy disk drives, hence the name. It is also known under the designation "mini-Molex". Anyway, this standard is generally considered obsolete, but it is still used by some specific types of components, and therefore continues to be used in power supplies.

+12V1

The maximum current that the PSU is capable of delivering to the first power line is + 12V.

For more information about power lines in general, see "+3.3V". Here it is worth mentioning that 12 V is the most popular voltage among computer power connectors. It is used in almost all such connectors (with a few exceptions), and some plugs (for example, additional PCI-E power for 6 or 8 connectors) use only 12-volt lines — and in the + 12V format. And the division of + 12V power into several separate lines is used for safety purposes — in order to reduce the current flowing through each individual wire, and thus prevent excessive load and overheating of the wiring. However, some manufacturers do not specify the maximum current for individual + 12V lines and give only a general value in the characteristics; in such cases, this number is indicated in this paragraph.

+5Vsb

The maximum current that the PSU is capable of issuing + 5Vsb to the power line.

For more information about power lines in general, see "+3.3V". Specifically, the + 5Vsb line is used to power the computer electronics in standby mode, when the main and only task of the system is to respond to pressing the power button. This does not require high power, so this figure rarely exceeds 3A.
