Quiet Power Supplies - Nexus 80 Plus Efficiency 400 Watt Silent PSU
Nexus power supplies are designed to provide your PC stable and efficient power to guarantee perfect PC performance. Yet Nexus has set everything to work to make these power supplies the quietest in the market. By using high quality components and performing a 100% burn-in and functionality test, these power supplies are guaranteed to comply with Nexus' high standards. Nexus power supplies have the lowest defective rate and are amongst the most reliable power supplies in the market.
The Nexus 80-plus series power supplies are guaranteed to provide you with over 80% efficiency. This means the power supply is using the power it is drawing from the wall outlet more efficiently, with less electricity wasted. Obviously this is better for the environment and it saves you on your electricity bill! A more efficient power supply also results in a cooler power supply. So less cooling is needed, making the power supply even quieter.
By carefully selecting each and every component Nexus aims to create the best possible mix of components to make their power supplies as silent as possible. They carefully balance performance and noise level to get the best of both worlds. These power supplies are leading the market when it comes to solid performance at the lowest possible noise level. From our noise level tests we know the Nexus NX-8040 produces only 18.4 dB(A) in idle mode*.
When Nexus tests the noise level of their power supplies and components, they do this in an ISO-certified chamber and according to a prescribed set-up. It is important to know that the background noise in such a chamber is a little over 15 dB(A). The presribed set-up is the best possible condition for these tests and hence you should always be aware when a manufacturer is claiming dB(A) values that are lower then 15 dB(A). How were they able to measure this? Nexus provide the real figures, from the actual tests. Can it get any more reliable? Judge for your self.
This power supply is equipped with a modular cabling system. This means in this box you will find a number of cables and connectors that you can connect to your power supply if necessary. This prevents cables and connectors to hang around the inside of your PC without being used. This will keep the inside of your PC nice and tidy, plus it interferes as little as possible with the airflow inside the case.
Nexus 80 Plus Efficiency power supplies keep things nice and tidy. Messy cables interfere with the airflow inside your PC and do not look very nice. Nexus has sleeved all cables of this power supply with a black mesh. Nice, clean and tidy.
Power Factor Correction (PFC) allows the power distribution system to operate at maximum efficiency. Active PFC is technically more complex then passive PFC and better matches the overall high quality standard and reliability of these Nexus power supplies.
