NZXT Hale90 650W - Closer Look

Before we dive into the assembly process, let us take a quick look at the NZXT Hale90 650W power supply. As mentioned in the beginning of this review, it comes in 550, 650, 750, 850 and 1000W configurations. All but the 550W have modular cables, while only the ATX power and 4-Pin CPU cables are permanently connected to the unit.








All of the connectors are identical and there are no labels on the PSU. While this may be problematic with units which feature seperate rails, since the Hale90 has one unified rail, it does not matter where you connect the cables for the PCIe power or for your hard drives. To go with the all white look, a fan with the same colored fan blades has been employed. While the PSU market barely offers any differentiation, the combination of all white, refreshingly different modular cables, 80Plus Gold efficiency and silent operation is very convincing.
