Specifications:

This PSU is fairly similar to others currently offered on the market. It is rated at 400W. If you look at the picture below, it shows its rated amperage across each of the voltage lines that it has. It has a combined 5v and 12v power of 180W Max. This seems a little on the low side but we'll soon find out how it performs.

The Black Raidmax is equipped with the standard ATX motherboard hookup, a P4 12v connector, and a 6 pin AUX P4 connector, 6 4-pin molex connectors, 2 floppy connectors. The only thing that bugs me about the connectors is the method they are laid out. Most PSUs that I've dealt with has 2 of the 4 pin molex's and a floppy molex on one set of wires. Sometimes it will be without the floppy connector. But you'll get your 6 4-pin connectors across 3 sets of wires. This PSU has only 2 sets of wires with 3 4-pin molex connectors and 1 floppy connector per set of wires. I'm one that likes to hide my wiring, so when you've got a DVD-ROM, CDRW, 1 HDD and 6 case fans, it starts to get tricky to hide the wires out of site.

The installation of this PSU is just like that of any other. Put it inside of the case and screw it down to the back of the case with 4 screws. Route the wires and hook them up to everything to complete the installation. The length on the wires is fairly standard. They are 18" for the 4-pin molex wires and 12" for the motherboard connectors. They will reach everything with plenty of left over even in bigger cases such as my Chieftec.

Looks pretty good if you ask me. If you'll notice the green and red doesn't seem to show up well in the pictures. One problem with this PSU and the Tri Lite LEDs is the fans are thermally controlled. The LEDs run off of the same voltage source than the fans do. So if the fans are only running at 7v, then that is all of the voltage that the LEDs are getting. If the fans were hard wired to run at a constant 12v's, which in my opinion they should be, they would be brighter. As it is, I think this PSU still looks pretty sweet! A nice looking addition to a modded case! Now that we have it installed and fired up, let's check out the performance and see how it handles the heavily overclocked 1600+ XP and all the other goodies in my case...
