BeQuiet! are using the BQT T13525-HF18 fan in this unit, a 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan which is rated to a maximum of 1,800 rpm at 22.6dBa.

This power supply is designed by FSP – based on their Aurum Gold platform.

A pair of Y capacitors start the transient filtering stage.

The transient filtering continues on the main PCB, with two X capacitors, two Y capacitors and a couple of ferrite coils. There is no MOV present, but it is not integral to this design.

The primary capacitor is by CapXon, it is rated 390uF 400 V @ 85c. CapXon are Chinese capacitors and don't get the same kind of praise from the community as a high grade Japanese capacitor, although they have proven fine in our tests before. Secondary capacitors are also CapXon, although they are rated to 105c.

All in all this is a solid design, although some of the soldering quality is a little below par, which is slightly disappointing.
