To check at what level our power supply works, we are going to check the energy consumption and the stability of its voltages. We have used one of the best sources on the market: Seasonic X-750W 80 PLUS GOLD. Let's see the results:

Aerocool's Strike X series is designed for the most gaming users. As we are used to, the core is of the highest quality, in this case an Anydson and a silent 139mm fan at low revs.

In our test bench we have treated the source with the Seasonic X series 750w 80 PLUS GOLD. The performance is that of outstanding. A font with a cost of 50% less, faces the Seasonic. Although we would have liked it to have modular management.

We have also performed sound tests and its idle fan is extremely quiet. Electrical noise in idle / full? None, quite a luxury.

The fountain can be found for around € 75. A great price for a high-end performance font.
