Superb PSU Power Supply Unit
36 months warranty With Manufacture
We receive many power supplies on evaluation here at Quiet PC from manufacturers who claim their products are quiet or silent. However, we are dubious
when a power supply is
marketed as being silent where the unit has a fan installed. Common sense dictates that fans make noise no matter how slowly they run, so for a manufacturer
to claim such a product to
be silent would in our view be misleading!
When we received an evaluation PSU from Nesteq, it didn’t say “silent” on the box, it said “Advanced Silent Mode"! Having become accustomed to this sort of
marketing-speak, we were
expecting this power supply to be as noisy as the rest of the samples we receive, but in fact we were pleasantly surprised.
Advanced Silent Mode (ASM) is a very simple feature. It allows the PC power supply to run virtually fanless, with the 120mm fan only switching on when
absolutely necessary. During
our evaluation we installed the PC power supply in a system which incorporated 2 x 6800 Ultra graphics card in SLI mode, just to see how long it would remain
silent. We were
astonished to see that the fan hardly moved at all! About every two or three minutes the fan rotated for about ten seconds before stopping again, and while the
fan was turning it was
inaudible above the noise of the other quiet fans in the PC. This approach seemed to keep the power supply relatively cool to the touch in comparison to other
fanless power supplies.
In fact, Nesteq state that their PC power supply will be completely fanless for 99% of the time while ASM is enabled!
One of the main reasons the Nesteq ASM PC power supply can run so quietly is the fact that it has an efficiency rating above 80%, meaning that it will not
generate as much heat as
other PC power supplies! Not only does this allow the PSU to run cooler, it also saves money because it will not draw as much power as a lower efficiency unit.
As well as the ASM feature, it is also possible to make the 120mm fan to run continuously, either automatically or manually. From a noise point of view this
setting is marginally louder
(20 - 30 dBA). If low noise is the primary reason for purchase then we strongly recommend using the SSM feature. The PC power supply also comes with a
massive 36 months warranty!
The PSU is supplied with all the connectors you would expect on a high quality power supply. It is possible to detach 4-pins of the 24-pin ATX motherboard
connector, making it
compatible with 20-pin motherboards. The 8-pin EPS12V connector can also split making two 4-pin connectors, one of which is for the ATX12V connector for
the latest AMD and Intel
processors. These Nesteq PSUs are also great for SLI systems because two PCI-E connectors are supplied. One PCI-E is wired directly into the loom whereas
the other is available by
using the converter cable supplied.
Please note: Nesteq is the new name for Elan Vital. So if you are looking for an Elan Vital PSU then please consider the Nesteq as a direct replacement.
