Introduction

I would like to thank Leo from Sirtec for supplying me with the unit for review.

Sirtec is mainly an OEM manufacturer for PSUs and has been in the PSU business for over 12 years. Many Thermaltake PSUs are actually manufactured by Sirtec.
This tested PSU is also sold by Chieftec as "Chieftec ATX-410-212" and Thermaltake. The inner workings are the same while Thermaltake for example decided to sleeve all cables.

Not only do they manufacture PSUs, Siretec has also a lot of experience with plastic molding. Lexmark printer cartridge cases for example are produced by Sirtec.

The PSU

The PSU is coated with a very shiny and reflective chrome coating. However, this does not take fingerprints easily. Even after handling the unit for some time I saw only minor fingerprints on it, and they could be easily wiped away with the bare hand.


The backside of the PSU is made from hole-stamped metal for best air circulation. A switch for selection of 110V or 220V input is also provided here.


Sirtec chose to sleeve only the ATX power cable.


The ATX power connector uses a clever solution to stay compatible with both 20 and 24 Pin motherboards. You can split the connector into two parts. If you have a 20 Pin motherboard connector, just use the 20 Pin plug and leave the four extra pins unconnected.


When running, the PSU has a blue warm fuzzy glow which lights up the inside of your case.
