Cooling in this unit is down to a 120mm Endorfy Stratus Fan (Model 10-1111). This is a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) fan rated 12V / 0.25A. It is codeveloped with Synergy cooling and used across the range of Endorfy units. In theory this should be a good fan as the specs are impressive, but we will find out shortly when we get the unit tested thoroughly.
The OEM manufacturer of this power supply is Jiumeng. It is a double sided PCB and the topology is APFC double forward on the primary and the secondary is a synchronous rectification with minor rails generated from DC-DC converters. Juimeng are a name we don't often hear about, but from what I have been able to find out they have 19+ years industry experience and 400+ R&D engineers. They also have over 100 national and international patents. They do sell units under their own name, but mainly in Asia. We know they made a few units for Zalman in recent years, too.
The primary capacitor is from Teapo, a Chinese brand. It is rated 105C 400V 470uF. Most power supplies in this price bracket will have Chinese capacitors, it is a way to save some costs. That said, the budget Sharkoon Rebel P15 750W that we reviewed recently at the same price did ship with a 105C-rated Japanese Nippon Chemi Con capacitor… but that is unusual.
Electrolytic filtering capacitors are from Teapo and it is good to see they are all 105C-rated for peace of mind. Soldering quality is ok.
The unit ships with OVP, UVP, OPP, OCP, SIP, SCP and OTP protections.
