| Tagan TG1300-U33 In The Zone Series 1300W Power Supply
|
The Cables:
All of the power cables are wrapped with mesh sleeving, starting inside the housing and extending all the way to the end. In this picture we have the motherboard power connectors, which include a 20+4-pin ATX motherboard connector, a 4-pin 12V connector, and an 8-pin 12V connector.
In the below left image we have two sets of PCI-E power connectors. The first set has orange ends, each of which includes a 2-pin connector to convert the standard 6-pin PCI-E connector to the new 8-pin PCI-E connector. The second set has blue ends and uses the standard 6-pin PCI-E connector. Each of these PCI-E leads includes an REMI core, which is designed to shield the cable from electro-magnetic interference. The below right image appears to be of two additional PCI-E connectors; however these are not designed for PCI-E video cards. Instead these are for a "physical card", which I am assuming is meant to be a new PhysX card.
 
The next set of pictures show the last of the power cables. The below left image is of the standard 4-pin power connectors; there is one cable with a single 4-pin connector and two cables with three 4-pin connectors each. The below right image shows the three SATA power leads, each of which has four SATA connectors.
 
Internal Inspection:
Removing the cover will void the Tagan 3 year warranty, but it reveals that the internal components are neatly laid out. There are two large heatsinks that are a little different than most power supplies, as instead of being flat, they are rounded. This should allow the maximum amount of air to flow across the heatsinks. I was not able to locate any adjustable potentiometers.
