Gigabyte PoweRock KX Entry-Level PSUs Debut

As always, Gigabyte is working all possible angles of the IT segments it has any sort of stake in, in this case having turned its attention towards the low-end market of power supply units.

Gigabyte is one of those companies that develops and sells more than one type of hardware it has done this for years).

More recently, its activity has consisted of such things as an upcoming convertible tablet dubbed Booktop, the Intel Z68 Based G1.Sniper 2 Motherboard, a remodeled AMD Radeon HD 6970 video card, etc.

Now, the outfit has been discovered to have stealthily updated one of its entry-level product collections.

Said line is known as PoweRock KX and the newest to become part of it has an output of 320 W.

Basically, this is a low-end PSU that still incorporates safety features like protection against under-voltage, over-current, over-voltage and shirt-circuits.

It is described in full on its official product page, although, unfortunately, there is no word on what price it will carry once it starts showing up in stores.

Either way, the efficiency of 78% means that the 320 W of power can handle even less than light energy requirements, within reason of course.

Other specifications include a MTBF of 100,000 hours, dual 12V rails, Taiwan-made capacitors, compliance with the ATX 12V v2.0 standard and CE, CB and BSMI safety approvals.

Finally, the newcomer weighs 1.15 kilograms, measures 150 x 140 x 86 mm, bears the product name of GE-K320N-C2 and is part of the same family as the 370 W, 420 W and 470 W PoweRock KX.

It I unclear when sales will really start outright, so there is no way of knowing how long it will be before the mystery of financial requirements is finally solved.

Until it does, prospective buyers, especially those that want something stronger, can check out Super Flower's Passive 80PLUS Platinum 500W PSU or Enermax 80PLUS Gold models, to name a few.
