The Most Silent 600 Watt PSU A quieter computer	By Bogdan Ionescu, Hardware Editor 20th of December 2005, 10:42 GMT Adjust text size:


Modern desktop computers that use Intel or AMD processors create lots of heat and noise, especially if they use dual card graphic technologies from NVIDIA or ATI, namely SLI or CrossFire. To all these, add the heat made by the over clocked processors and you get a noisy annoying computer. For adapting to the situation, MGE launched XG Magnum, a high end PSU (Power Supply Unit) that dissipates the heat around it using a massive heat pipe system. Also, the new PSU has a copper radiator instead of using a big fan that comes with the standard PSUs. The lack of the massive fan makes the XG Magnum an extremely silent PSU. With its silver color, MGE XG Magnum has also "back intelligence", having a rear LCD, that displays useful information like the power used at the time and the internal temperature of the PC. MGE XG Magnum is a 600 Watt source, completely silent because of the lack of the internal fan, replaced by a copper radiator. Moreover, the XG Magnum has a complex air directing design. The case of the PSU is 2 mm thick and it is made of aluminium. The new PSU is Intel ATX V2.01 approved and also offers through its read LCD display information about temperature, voltage and the three voltage lines of the source. There are also voltage signaling lights, two PCI Express power connections and 20 4 connectors. The external radiator keeps the heat outside the system and the modular cables are magnetically UV protected. The modular cable system is meant to keep order inside the case, each cable having its own jack in the source. In order, the cables can be attached or detached very easily. Though, only a 6 pin graphic connector is present. This means that you must detach a converter from the hard disk unit in order to use a dual card SLI or CrossFire system.
