[review] Antec EarthWatts 430W / 500W

[Wolverine]

Evo još jednog jako dobrog proizvoda koji nam dolazi iz Antec-a (made by Seasonic)

Ovo bi trebao bit neki jeftiniji proizvod za šire mase koji ne gledaju estetiku, modularnost, ali žele stabilno, pouzdano i tiho napajanje.
Dakle ono uobičajeno i glavno: Da radi i šuti!

EarthWatts je definitivno jedan od njih.
Izrazito je efikasan (gotovo stalno oko 80%), izrazito tih (kažu da se ne čuje sve do cca 400W opterećenja)

Even though the fan had to spin up to a faster speed for test 4, the fan was still almost in-audible. I was really quite surprised when I saw the temperatures drop as drastically as they did, yet I still could not hear the fan.

Finally, at test 5, the fan spun up to the point where I could hear it.

Kada ga malo bolje pogledam u biti vidim NeoHE ali bez fancy laka i sleavanih modularnih kablova.


Naponi su stabilni, ripple je nizak (~20mV -> max dozvoljeno je 120mV za +12V rail)

Po meni čist pristojan proizvod

The Good:

* Very stable +12V.
* Very efficient.
* Very quiet.
* Very affordable.

The Bad:

* Nothing really "bad" about this unit unless you're going to hold it's looks against it.

The Mediocre:

* Not a whole lot of power on the +12V. Trumped by other 500W power supplies on the market.

A ovdje se može vidjet što SPCR misli o 430W modelu

The Earth Watts seems best suited to systems where absolute silence is not the goal. It's quiet enough for general use, especially in mid-range gaming systems where the graphics card is likely to drown out any noise from the power supply unless the fan ramps up. Extreme silencers may prefer a Neo HE, and high-end enthusiasts will no doubt want one of Seasonic's designer power supplies, but the Earth Watts seems like a good quality mainstream choice.

Samo je steta kaj pri izlazu kablovinja nisu stavili onu plasticnu obujmicu kao mehanicku zastitu za kable. To ipak stave i firme tipa jnc, ms ...
Vidi se na slici.

Da ali za razliku od tih firmi ovdje nije goli rez nego je lim obrađen, savijen tako da ne sječe.
Barem koliko ja vidim

Ma nije goli rez nego je lim i spertlan (presavinut) kaj se lijepo vidi na slici.

Ali svejedno mislim da bi s obujmicom ostavili daleko bolji dojam (barem vizuelno) nego ovak bez nje, a cijena joj je zanemariva.
U svakom slucaju mislim da je napajanje kvalitetno.
Wolv. svaka cast na pisanju i kvaliteti postova. Cestitke od mene.

Edit: tek sam sad videl da si i ti napisal savijen.
