We like this PSU, but only to a certain extent – it's certainly a solidly built unit with awesome efficiency and it's virtually silent for just about everyone that will buy this kind of unit. The modular connectors work well, however the cable choices could be far better in more than one case. In addition, the branding is overpowering to the point of grotesque – having that in a case will only make us feel like an ad-whore rather than letting the PSU speak for itself. Even though it's nice to see a variation in colour—the white fan in particular—we're not wildly in love with the whole look.

The QFan design, while very quiet, is nullified by the stupid piece of plastic screwed under half of it. It's not like the unit gets hot, but it makes a super-large 14cm fan quiet pointless if the airflow is being forced out where it was supposed to be sucked in from! I'm not entirely sure still if it's that revolutionary either – it's essentially a shroudless fan rather than one with specifically clipped edges from the likes of a Noctua NF-P12 fan, which, to us at least, seems significantly technically superior.
