Just looking at it, I would not think it was meant to be OEM. It looks like any other PSU in this price range but with a face lift on the casing. While you won't find any braiding on the cables, it is what it is for the price you pay and the builds you will use it in, it probably will not matter any way. Standard basic installation w Version.
Comes with 4 screws to hold in place, 1x pin connector, 1x 4 pin connector, 1x 6 pin connector, 4x SATA connectors, 2x Molex connectors. All cables measure at least 40 CM long to the first connector. The components are well spaced, and clean looking inside. The airflow from the fan would be able to reach all components easily without obstruction from the others. Voltages are all within industry standards.
Only time will tell how long they last. From initial testing, they look more than capable of running a standard or low end gaming PC or office machine. Voltage Tests. On a personal note, I have built with this PSU before for the past few weeks in budget systems. As of yet we have no issues to report. Target Components Exclusive in the UK. If you have to mount it on the bottom, the engraving of Xilence will be upside down. Introduction : As a builder of bespoke machines, I want to be able to buy good quality computer components when I do a build.
Manufacturer statement: The latest generation of Redwing power supplies combines an exciting design with modern technology and top quality. About : Xilence has been manufacturing cooling and noise-minimizing PC components for over 10 years. Packaging: This is an OEM product, so it comes in a plain cardboard box with a drawing on the front.
Unboxing: Inside the box, there is the PSU and a manual, and 4 black screws. Installation: Standard basic installation w Version. Testing All cables measure at least 40 CM long to the first connector. It is by leaps and bounds above the quality you will get from some budget power supplies out there. I have seen and used this particular model in my builds for the past three weeks. I have had no issues at all.
No DOA, no returns, nothing. I would say "give it a try". It is also good for those customers that want a good power supply but do not care to splash out on it. They do not have to sacrifice quality for cost. No - the rated wattage of a power supply refers to the maximum amount of power it can deliver at full load, not how much power it uses.
More powerful PSUs will consume around the same amount of power as lower powered power supplies in any given PC system, so your electricity bill will not be higher when using a more powerful power supply!
The best way to reduce your electricity bill when using your PC is to use a more efficient power supply or make your PC consume less power by removing components which are not needed, such as extra drives and expansion cards, or by choosing a cooler-running processor or graphics card.
Firstly, a power supply will not work if you simply plug it in and flick the switch. The power supply will only turn on if you connect it to a working motherboard and associated items processor, memory, video card, etc. It is actually the motherboard which tells the power supply when to switch on. Thirdly, if possible it would be good to try the power supply in another PC to see if it works, or try another power supply in your PC to see if that works. You can then tell whether it is the power supply which is faulty or the actual PC itself.
Virtually all the noise generated by a PC power supply originates from the cooling fan inside it, so simply replacing the fan with a quiet fan may seem an obvious way to go. However, if you are thinking about attempting this operation, please bear the following points in mind:.
Please consider the above points very carefully before proceeding with an operation to replace the fan in your existing power supply! Unfortunately in the real world, Power Factor is reduced by highly inductive loads down to values of 0.
This induction is caused by equipment such as small electric motors, fans, fluorescent lighting ballasts and transformers such as those in PSUs.
This is bad news for the electricity generating companies who can impose a surcharge on heavy users if they have a consistently low Power Factor, as more electricity has to be produced to make up the shortfall. Power Factor Correction PFC is used in some equipment to minimise the inductive component of the electrical current.
This helps to reduce the losses in the electrical supply to that equipment. Power Factor Correction capacitors are normally used to reduce induction in an electrical load, which minimises wasted energy and hence improves the efficiency of a company and reduces electricity costs. It is not usually practical to reach unity, i. Power Factor 1, and it seems that most electricity supply companies accept consumers having a Power Factor as low as 0.
This means that their power factor PF can be as high as 0. So by using our products, you can be happy in the knowledge that you are doing your bit to save the planet! There are no hard and fast rules about what size of power supply any given PC needs as a minimum. Our advice would be that if you are replacing an existing power supply, then consider a new one at least of the same wattage as the old one.
If you are building a new PC, most customers now buy a power supply rated in the region of watts depending primarily on the performance level of their graphics card s and number of drives to be installed.
But in any event if you are unsure about which power supply would be best for your PC then please do contact us by phone or email and we will be happy to give you a specific recommendation based on your budget. We receive many customer enquiries about this. In fact, most of the pin compatible power supplies we sell come with special motherboard connectors which can be converted to pins with no additional conversion cables. All you need to do is look carefully at the connector and you will see that the end four pins can be slid off, turning the connector into a pin compatible one see below - easy when you know how!
There are many possible safety protections a PSU can have. Below is a list of what each abbreviation means. Please note, not all PSUs have all safety protections. UL - Underwriters Laboratories, more information. CE - European Conformity, more information.
WEE - Electronic waste, more information. ErP - Energy Related Products, more information. More information on certification marks can be found here. Customer Reviews Xilence W. Xilence W. We haven't received any reviews of this product yet. I can confirm that it is quiet. Not silent, but is definitely worth the money. The weight of it felt like it was quality and would atleast last 10 years.
I guess I was wrong. Fairly quiet but not silent Anonymous , 30th April
