- Very good voltage regulation
- Very efficient
- Very quiet
- Looks great

Final comments: If you’re building a new gaming computer and want a power supply with a bit more ‘bling’ than a plain black unit, then this is a great option. It offers very good voltage stability, looks very attractive, and the turbo charge feature is a nice touch. It’s also very quiet and its flat cables are easy to manage. If you plan to use it with an older PC, though, then the -12V rail’s ripple could be a problem.
Score: 8/10
