Power Supply:
Both the RaidMax Cobra and Samurai case we reviewed shipped with a RaidMax 420 watt power supply. Has we commented in both of those reviews these power supplies both had very low +5 volt rails. RaidMax informed us that they were aware of this issue and had plans to replace the 420 watt power supply. Knowing this I was very anxious to see how the new 450 watt power supply performed.
The new 450 watt power supply itself looks identical to the old 420 watt with its two fans. One in the front and one in the back instead of the common set up of one on bottom and one in the back.
Even though it voids the warranty I went ahead and opened up the power supply so we can take a look at what the inside looks like.
I used a Fluke 77 digital volt meter to test the voltage rails and was happy with the test results. Test results were taken with the PC under full load. The full load was achieved by running Folding@Home along with games such as Far Cry, Unreal Tournament 2004.
Has you can see by the chart the voltage rails of the 450 watt unit well within specifications.
In the next chart you can see how the RaidMax 450 watt compares to the AOpen 400 watt supply that had been powering this system.
The cables on the power supply are not sheathed but they do have attractive blue ends on them compared to the standard white connectors we find on many power supplies. The motherboard connector has the standard 20 pin connector and a 4 pin connector that slides into the 20 pin connector making one solid 24 pin connector for mother boards that require it. There is an additional 4 pin connector along with one SATA connector and two cables that have three standard 4 pin molex connectors along with one floppy connector on them.
