No power supply review would be complete without taking a peek under the hood, so we busted out the screwdriver and voided the warranty! Actually, there was no sticker saying "Warranty Void if Opened" so I guess Soyo doesn't mind. But if there had been a sticker, our warranty would have been SO voided!


Anyways, looking inside we find that the power supply is extremely neat & tidy. The large heatsinks take up most of the inside, maximizing their surface area for more effective cooling. Even a short cable was zip-tied to reduce clutter inside the power supply, which in turn leads to better airflow and hopefully a cool and more stable power supply. So far this power supply looks to be of great quality, but we'll find out for sure in the Testing section.

I have this power supply in my computer temporarily. Works great but a little loud for my tastes. The Voltage display is nice, and the bay doesn't really bother me since I have plenty of room for it right now. However, the computer I am using right now is just a temp while I work on my mod. Then I'm switching over to a 400W Zalman.
