Value and Conclusion

  • GIGABYTE is selling the Odin GT for $199, a very fair price if you consider all the engineering that went into designing this unit.
  • Great software control features
  • High efficiency
  • Quad PCI-E power
  • Modular
  • 8-Pin connectors for new VGA cards
  • Cables sleeved
  • Additional sensors and fan output included
  • Not very quiet
  • Can be controlled only with GIGABYTE proprietary software
GIGABYTE has once again proven that they can create innovative products with unique features. The GIGABYTE Odin GT Series products are the only PSUs on the market today that offer software control over many features and monitoring. Even version 0.2 Beta of the P-Control software can show the potential of this. You can customize the output voltage or adjust the fan speeds to your needs. While this is certainly a great feature for control freaks it may be less useful for people who just want a working PSU without all the added bells and whistles. A useful feature for everyone is modularity. You can plug in only the cables you need to keep your case insides clean.
In our testing the Odin GT could impress with good voltage stability and excellent efficiency. Only the fan noise was a bit loud, especially when you take into consideration that the fan speed can be adjusted by software, but not enough to make this a very quiet PSU.
