AeroCool Strike-X 800W PSU Review

Aerocool are using a Young Lin Tech fan, model number DFS132512H. This fan is rated to 1,700 rpm and has a translucent red impeller. Sadly there is no backlighting which would have enhanced the unit in operation. There are three plastic boundaries on the housing to direct and enhance the fan air flow.

Initially we thought this was a Hiper design, but it appears to be manufactured by Andyson – a company we haven't rated that highly going on past experiences. There are several rows of black heatsinks across the length of the PCB to help maintain the required thermal curve under load situations.

The construction/soldering quality of this unit isn't bad and it is using Teapo electrolytic capacitors throughout the design. We aren't big believers in Teapo capacitors as we have experienced failures in the past. The two main capacitors are 85c Teapo, 420V 270uF rated. Output capacitors are rated to 105c. This supply is using the PS232S supervisor processor. There are two DC-DC converter cards and two input capacitors.
