Sansun Arctic 450W PSU

[W1zzard]

The chinese manufacturer Sansun isn't too well known yet, because they are a rather new company. If they continue delivering such solid products, I'm sure that this will change in no time.
For a price for which you often get only a plain and unsleeved power supply, Sansun is giving you dual 12V rails and a modularity feature which is usually found only on much more expensive PSUs. All cables are sleeved as well which helps keep your case look clean. Also the important qualities of a PSU like voltage stability and fan noise look good.

hmm.. Id like to see more of this test bench you seem to have created... looks... fun

which part would you like to know more about?

I'm just curious about the whole thing...

But I'm a very curious person... I enjoy knowing how everything works

more specificly, how you hooked it up to create a load.. looks pretty cool.

the load resistors are just resistors .. one end to ground other end to +12v for example.. they create a shitload of heat, thats what the fan on the right is for

ahh I see.. you come up with this? frickin brilliant I think btw one VERY nice review..

yeah i didnt feel like spending a thousand bucks for a psu load tester (i asked a psu mfgr at cebit last year)

btw the load setup isnt used for the psu voltage stability test because i think only a real system can put the right dynamic loads on a psu.

Yeah, but still very cool!
