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.

Braided wires

The presence of a braid in the complete wires of the system unit — for all or at least for some.

This feature has a positive effect on reliability, making the wire as resistant as possible to bending, abrasion, strong pressure and other similar influences; it also provides additional protection against accidental contact with sharp objects (for example, when repairing a PC). The disadvantages of braided wires, in addition to increased cost, are also increased thickness and greater rigidity than similar cables in conventional insulation. This can create some difficulties in organizing space inside the system unit.

Manufacturer's warranty

Manufacturer's warranty provided for this model.

In fact, this is the minimum service life promised by the manufacturer, subject to the rules of operation. There are both models with a small warranty up to 3 years, and more advanced power supplies, in which the warranty can reach 7, 10 years and even 12 years. In general , a 5-year warranty(for example) does not mean that the device will fail after the specified time. Most often, the actual service life of the device is much longer than the guaranteed one.

Specific warranty periods may vary even for similar drives from the same manufacturer. So not

Lighting

The power supply has its own backlight. This function does not affect the technical characteristics, its role is purely aesthetic, and therefore it is worth paying attention to power supplies with backlight, first of all, for those who care about the individual design of their own PC. Note that the specific functionality of the backlight may be different. The simplest systems are single-colour, more expensive solutions may provide several colour options, and the most advanced type of backlight in this regard is RGB, with the ability to select almost any shade at the request of the user. In addition, some systems are able to synchronize with the backlight of other PC components; See "Light Timing" below for more on this.
