The modular models have an 80Plus Bronze certification (up to 88% efficiency) while the non-modular units are 80Plus rated (up to 86% efficiency) but all feature ATX 12V V2.3 compliance, active PFC, a single 12V rail, a quiet, 140mm fan, a MTBF of over 100,000 hours, and circuitry providing over current, over voltage, under voltage, over power, and short-circuit protection.
The Smart Series PSUs are backed by a three-year warranty and have already started to hit stores. For now, only the modular units are available, priced at about €50 (450W), €52 (550W) and €62 (650W).
