The PC Power & Cooling
Turbo-Cool 1KW power supply is jet black in colour with no real "features." Again
as mentioned earlier, the power supply is quite large so users of
mid tower or smaller cases better make sure there is enough space for it.
The power supply is cooled with a single three blade
80mm Delta (BF0812EH) fan. There is also the connector for the AC power cord as
well as a large hard power switch for the power supply. Missing is the
115/230V voltage selector but as we mentioned earlier, it is not necessary since the Turbo-Cool
1KW supports Active PFC.
PC Power & Cooling places a wire mesh around every
cable that comes out of the power supply to the first connector. Wire mesh help
keeps cables tidy and make cable management much easier. There is one 24 pin
main ATX power connector, an eight pin ATX12V connector, two six pin PCI Express
power connectors, eight molex connectors, six Serial ATA power connectors and
one foppy drive connector.
The PC Power & Cooling
Turbo-Cool 1KW power supply also comes with a 24 to 20 pin connector for older
motherboards as well as an eight pin ATX12V to four pin converter cable. The
Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW power supply is ESP12V compatible, so it can be used
in real server situations. Cable lengths vary between 35-50 cm to the
first connector.
With the PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW
power supply, there are plenty of connectors to go around for whatever devices
you might have. About the only thing I would have liked to see
was another floppy drive connector... some of the enthusiast calibre motherboards require additional power
via a floppy drive connector.
The PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW power
supply includes a set of internal potentiometers like previous models, but users cannot access them without voiding the
power supply warranty. The four potentiometers are accessed behind
a sticker on the left hand side of the power supply, pictured above.
