Aerocool Xpredator 650GM: Unboxing and Design

Aerocool protects the power supply in a small cardboard box. On the cover we can see an image of it, the 80 Plus gold certification, while on the back all the most important features.

Once we open the box we find another standard cardboard box that houses the power supply and all its accessories:

Aerocool Xpredator 650GM power supply. Modular cable set.Instruction manual.Power cable and screws for installation.

The Aerocool Xpredator 650GM is a power supply unit (PSU) with a standard ATX design. Its exact dimensions are: 150 x 140 x 86 mm and a weight close to 2KG. As we can see its cable management is semi-modular but we will talk about this later.

As we can see, on the back we have the power connection, an on / off switch and a bee panel.

The core of the Aerocool Xpredator 650GM is manufactured by HEC and is 100% compatible with Intel Haswell-E (LGA 2011-3), Skylake (LGA 1151) and earlier platforms.

It incorporates a single 54A rail that will provide a total of 648w actual. The cooling In the upper area we find a fairly silent 120mm fan both in load and in full performance.

Cable management is semi-modular, what does this mean? That there is a fixed wiring (24-pin cable and the auxiliary 6 + 2 EPS) which allows us to make assemblies with an excellent quality of organization.

In total we have an extra connection for a PCI Express connector and the rest are for normal SATA and Molex cabling. The cables are meshed and quite flexible.

The wiring set is as follows:

Floppy disk drive connector: 1 Molex connection connectors: 3 PCI Express graphics card power connectors (6 + 2 pin): 2
