Cougar GX-S 80Plus Gold power supply - 450 Watt [CG-GX-S450EU]

So the manufacturer combines modern technology with 80 Plus Gold efficiency, quiet fan and inconspicuous completely black cables with enough connectors for modern gaming computer. With 450 to 750 watt output Cougar thereby covers the entire power range from economical luxury-class system with a single performance graphics card to SLI and CrossFire gespannen.

In the only 14 centimeter Depth particularly compact housing Cougar grabs modern technology, including DC-DC step-down conversion for the +5 and +3.3 volt line. This type of voltage conversion power supplies GX-S series are particularly flexible: If necessary, the entire nominal power on the + 12V rail can be accessed. The 450-watt model can thus permanently provide up to 450 watts for the CPU and graphics card. If the + 3.3V and + 5V rail hand, can be requested alternatively there up to 105 watts. GX-S power supply can therefore permanently expect full in all scenarios - even at 40 ° C ambient temperature.

Attaches particular importance Cougar Power Supplies of the middle and upper class to the volume. Finally, the game experience will suffer in Schleich shooters not mean that one can perceive only the fan of the PC instead of the approaching enemy. The used 120-mm fan with silent bearings is therefore controlled by an advanced fan control. At low load the fan therefore rotates at less than 550 revolutions per minute and thus remains virtually inaudible. Even at full load only 1,100 revolutions can be achieved. Consequently, power supplies GX-S series operate under all load conditions between inaudible and quietly. Thanks to the high quality components and sufficient reserves, the life is not restricted. Moreover Cougar granted all five years warranty.

Just as important as power and volume is the security of the power supply: Gamer obstruct most expensive high-end hardware. In addition to precise voltage regulation and low ripple therefore especially the protection circuits are crucial in order to save themselves in critical situations, the power supply and the supplied components. With over and under voltage protection (OVP, UVP) and protection against overload (OPP), over current (OCP) and short-circuit (SCP) are ready power supplies of this series for all cases.

That Cougar considered when the terminals meet the needs of gamers is a matter of honor: Even the 450-watt model has two 6 + 2-pin PCI-Express power connectors to provide any high-end graphics card can. In addition to the 20 + 4-pin ATX and the 4 + 4-pin CPU connector Four SATA and three 4-pin Molex connectors are available for the other components. For a visually attractive cable routing all cables are black and additionally coated black. The Cougar GX-S is therefore the economical standard recommendation for 80 Plus Gold power supplies!
