Corsair are using a 140mm Ong Hua fan, model HA1425H12B-Z. This is a seven blade transparent fan which takes 0.50A. Maximum speed is rated at 2,800 RPM. We have seen this model before in the OCZ Fatal1ty 1000W power supply and it was quite good, if not the best on the market.
This is a Channel Well Technology design and is well laid out. There are only a couple of black heatsinks inside the unit. This is a single +12V rail design and is 80 Plus Bronze Certified, an improvement over the original design. It has achieved the following safety approvals: cTUVus, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TÜV, CCC, and C-Tick. It confirms to the ATX12V v2.31 standard.
Corsair are using high grade capacitors in this design, all rated to 105c. The primary capacitor is rated 400V 470 uF @ 105c. The first stage of the transient filtering stages starts at the AC receptacle with two Y and a single X capacitor. The second stage has two Y capacitors, an X capacitor, an MOV and a coil. The cables are fed into the chassis and are sleeved and tied down to protect against potential long term fraying.
