Vantec Stealth 420W PSU

As the processor speed and power requirements for computers starts to ramp up the need for higher powered PSU's is becoming greater. I can remember when a 150W supply would be more than enough but by todays standards wouldn't power a toaster oven anymore. Cooling these big PSU's is a big issue, cause the more power you consume the more heat it will generate.

Today I'll be running the Vantec Stealth 420W PSU through the tests. Its available in 3 different sizes with the 420W being the smallest and the 520W being the largest. The housing of this PSU of aluminum painted black and has 3 - 80mm fans to keep this bad boy cool....
