An ADDA ADN512UB-A9B is the fan of choice in the Antec power supply. It is a 12V design at 0.44A and while there is no detailed specification on this particular ‘B' fan at time of press, the ASN512UB A9 family are highly regarded within the industry. We would assume it is very similar to the ADN512UB-A91, which produces 108cfm of airflow at a rated maximum of 2,500rpm. It is a double bearing fan rated to over 100,000 hours – PWM controlled.
The internal design is created in partnership with Delta, although Antec has had a significant involvement with this particular range.
The 3 capacitors inside are manufactured by Rubycon and are rated to 105c, 450V and 220mF. The DC-to-DC voltage regulator module (VRM) converts +3.3V and +5V DC voltage directly from the +12V rail, promoting system stability and higher levels of efficiency. The PCB is a dual layer design to help improve reliability and heat dissipation.
The output is filtered with Chemi Con and Sanyo Polymer capacitors and Rubycon electrolyte capacitors. We are pleased to see the cabling is also fully sleeved into the unit, protecting against long term damage.
