Cooling is handled by a 135mm fan mounted beneath a well-ventilated grille. The unit uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan – specifically the PowerLogic PLA13525S12H, rated at 12V / 0.56A. Official specifications suggest up to 2300 RPM, although based on available data it may operate somewhat lower in practice.

This is a CWT platform developed in collaboration with MSI.

Topology is a semi-digital interleaved bridgeless PFC design, combined with a full bridge LLC resonant converter. The secondary stage uses synchronous rectification with DC-DC conversion.

Primary capacitors are Japanese 105°C rated units from Nippon Chemi-Con (KMZ series, 450V 680µF), paired with an additional Rubycon 420V 470µF capacitor, for a combined total of 1830µF.

Transient filtering includes:

• 2 x X capacitors

• 5 x Y capacitors

• 2 x common mode chokes

• 1 x MOV

Secondary side filtering also uses Nippon Chemi-Con and Rubycon capacitors throughout. Overall component quality is excellent. The unit offers OCP/ OTP/ OPP/ SCP/ OVP/ UVP/ SIP/ NLO protections.
