Thermaltake Polo12 kit

Here we can see a closer picture of the 120 mm fan which is also included. The copper base is screwed on the bottom with four screws so it really stays on :) We will look closer at some temperatures later in this review.

The power supply has a nice black color and on the side it has the sticker with voltage specifications. 18A at 12V and 40A at 5v is really good specs; but can it perform that well? We have done some testing that you can see later in this review.

The PSU is equipped with a On/off switch and also a switch that you have to remember to change depending where you are in the world. On one of these sides we have a nice Thermaltake sticker and some text telling us that this is a 410W PSU.

Thw power supply fan is mounted on the bottom of the PSU. I had to put my ear about 20 cm from the power supply to be able to hear it very well so I think it's neither the loudest PSU or the quietest either. Something very positive is that the PSU is equipped with SATA power cables and cable sleeving to keep the case clean from cables.

Testing:

AMD 64 3200+
Chaintech ZNF3-250
512mb 3700 Corsair DDR
20 Gb Maxtor 7200 rpm harddrive
Artic Silver 3
Liteon 16x cd burner

The voltage was measured with a multimeter on a molex connector. Full loads were taken while running Sisoft Sandra 2004 burn in program.





5v shows really good numbers and idle on 12v also but when it comes to full load on the 12v rail we seem to run into a bit trouble as it falls down to 11.33v which is not enough for a overclocker but more than enough for an 'average Joe'. Let's look at some temperatures on the heatsink.
