Silent Cooling with Improved Ventilation

The 120mm black silent fan actively cools internal components. It pushes hot air out of the case efficiently. This design helps maintain lower operating temperatures during long sessions. Because the fan is sized for this wattage, it runs at lower RPMs. This reduces acoustic output significantly. You get a quieter workspace without sacrificing thermal stability.

High-Efficiency Power Factor Control

This unit utilises Power Factor Control (PFC). PFC improves how effectively the PSU draws power from the wall socket. It reduces wasted energy and lowers heat generation. For the user, this means a more stable voltage output to your components. It contributes to the overall longevity of your PC hardware. The design meets CE compliance standards for safety.

Broad Compatibility and Connectivity

The PSU complies with ATX 2.2 and 2.3 standards. It fits most standard ATX cases available in the UK market. The ATX 12V compliance ensures stable power for modern CPUs and mainboards. It offers ample connectivity for a mid-range build. You get 4 SATA connectors for drives. It also includes a 4-pin Molex connector and an FDD connector for legacy peripherals.

Non-Modular Simplicity

This is a non-modular power supply. All cables are built into the unit. This eliminates cable clutter inside the box. It also means you do not have to store unused modular cables. However, you must manage the attached cables within your case. This design is ideal for straightforward builds where simplicity is key.

Compact Form Factor

The unit measures 150 x 86 x 140 mm. It fits easily into most mid-tower and full-tower cases. The compact size leaves room for other components. It weighs 1.65kg, providing a solid feel without being overly heavy. The black finish matches most internal hardware aesthetics. Retail packaging ensures the unit arrives protected.
