Specifications

Andyson entered nothing but the Titanium efficiency spectrum with this line and our tests will show whether the N700 can deliver Titanium efficiency levels at temperatures that exceed 45°C since the 80 Plus organization conducts its tests at a lower ambient that is highly unrealistic when it comes to a PSU's internal temperature inside a PC (23°C). Andyson says the unit to feature a semi-modular cabling design to keep its cost low, and the company also says the unit to deliver its full power continuously at temperatures that don't exceed 40°C, which doesn't satisfy us since the ATX spec recommends upward of 50°C with the full load. However, given a Titanium unit's energy losses are incredibly low, its internal operating temperature will probably remain low as well.

The unit comes with all protections except for OTP (Over Temperature Protection), which is a shame since a high-end PSU should definitely come with OTP. The PSU's dimensions are nearly those of a typical PSU with such a capacity, and its price looks good given its Titanium efficiency and five year warranty.

The single +12V rail can deliver up to 58 A, which is enough to support two power-hungry VGAs. The capacity of the minor rails is on the low side; however, 100 W will suffice, and the 5VSB's amperage is that of a typical modern PSU.

Cables & Connectors, Power Distribution

This PSU has too many native cables to suit our taste. While Andyson didn't want to go fully modular because it would have increased the unit's production cost, at least all PCIe cables should have been modular. As you can see in the table above, the unit has four PCIe connectors, but only a single EPS one, so you will have to use an adapter if you go with a high-end X99 mainboard that asks for an EPS and an ATX12V 4-pin connector. However, there are enough SATA and peripheral connectors for the N700's capacity.

Cable length is good overall, but the modular PCIe cables should be as long to their first connector as their native counterparts. Andyson probably thinks this PSU will be put into small rather than full tower case, which had them go with such short modular cables. The distance in-between connectors is enough on all cables yet the SATA connectors could be closer to one another. The 24-pin ATX and EPS cables use thicker 16AWG gauges for lower voltage drops at high loads; every other cable uses normal 18AWG gauges, which is as the ATX specification recommends.

Since this PSU features a single +12V rail, we do not have anything to comment on when it comes to its power distribution.
