With a case full of drives, power hungry CPUs and greedy graphics cards, the need for big power supplies has never been greater, but big supplies usually need large cooling fans, which means noise. The ideal large PSU combines output with low noise. HEC may be a new name to some but it offers a wide range of power supplies.
HEC's PowerOP scores well on both points, with a 475-watt output and a quoted noise level of 27dBA at 80 per cent loading, which it achieves by using two small, twin ball bearing fans. It has over and under voltage protection, over power and short circuit protection.
The attention to detail is stunning for a power supply. The case is a smooth, glossy black and all cabling except for the 3-pin fan monitoring cable is wrapped in woven stainless steel covered with plastic tubing and neatly sealed at both ends with heat-shrunk tubing.
There are enough connectors to keep most people happy: 20-pin ATX, 4-pin 12V, 6-pin auxiliary, nine 4-pin Molex, two fan only 4-pin Molex, two floppy and two SATA power connectors.
