The company is planning three models in this series alongside more in the Odin GT and Odin Pro series to be detailed later. The three Odin Plus models include 500W, 600W, and 700W. These PSUs feature Japan-made solid-state capacitors, 6+2 pin PCI-Express power connectors, and a multi-rail +12V circuits. While the 500W and 600W models feature three +12V rails, the 700W one comes with four.
The PSUs comply with ATX 2.3 standards, along with compliance for RoHS and WEEE specifications. Its efficiency makes it eligible for the 80 Plus Bronze rating.

It's a standard on pretty much ALL high end PSU's, If you'd ever had one you'd know.
Although LED fans are a great way to sell BS to N00BS, real power users find the retarded glowing a little distracting, or just generally distasteful, and like to turn it off - this switch allows the satisfaction of BOTH users rather than producing 2 separate power supply models, one WITH , and one WITHOUT LED's
Surely this cant be too hard to understand.
Admittedly an old topic, but Hardware Secrets just reviewed the Odin Plus 700w and it looks impressive—they pulled 881w out of it (link). More cables/connectors would be nice but this shows some promise.
