X-Spice informed us they have released a new series of Kira power supplies, these units are available in 430W, 530W and 630W. Here's the press release:
The new 100% ATX compliant KIRA CS (“Compact Series”)
features high performance at an exceptional size: With only
12.5 cm of depth, the KIRA CS is the smallest PSU in its
class – and a recommendation not only for mini/midi/desktop
and HTPC systems.
Despite the small size, KIRA CS is built using the same highquality
technology already seen in X-Spice’s award winning
CROON BF series: All KIRA CS power supplies obtained the
“80PLUS” EPRI certificate, the 530W model even won the
rare “80PLUS bronze award”. X-Spice’s „REAL 83%“ philosophy
guarantees even better ratings – depending on voltage,
the KIRA CS devices achieve efficiencies up to 88%. Selected
Japanese components and advanced manufacturing processes
ensure long-life, highest quality products.
Four independent 12V rails (“Quad 12V”) provide clean,
failure-free power for CPU, graphics cards, motherboard and
other components. All KIRA CS models fully support dualgraphics
card configurations (SLI/Crossfire).
The KIRA CS supports the latest standards ATX12V v2.2 and
EPS12V 2.91, and is backwards compatible with ATX 12V
2.01 and EPS12V 2.8. In addition, the CS KIRA provides
integrated surge protection and offers protection against
short circuits.
The powerful +5 Vsb implementation delivers sufficient
reserves for demanding USB devices. The KIRA CS series comes
with an automatic input voltage selector of 110V-240V
for universal application.
A fully temperature controlled 120mm quality fan with purple
LED lighting allows almost inaudible cooling. Thereby the
KIRA CS power supplies allow to create exceptionally silent,
energy-saving and environmentally friendly PC systems.
KIRA PSUs provide the following connections:
• 1x 20+4 pin ATX motherboard connector
• 1x 4+4 pin P4-EPS12V connector
• 6x PATA (IDE) + 1 FDD (4pin) connectors
• 4x SATA connectors
• 2x PCIe graphics card connectors
• 1x PCIe 6 to 8 pin adaptor
All PSUs come with a multilingual and comprehensive
manual for easy installation. The KIRA CS PC power supplies
are available at 430W, 530W and 630W. The manufacturer
grants a 2-year warranty and unlimited support.
