Tech Review - Vantec ION 2 460W Power Supply
Hello, again my name is Rodney Reynolds and welcome to another video review. Today, I'm looking at the Vantec ION 2 460W Power Supply.
Included, a users guide, a power cable and the power supply, this particular product has continues wattage of 460, which is upper power the most of today’s computer system. Now how is wattage determined? Well to understand that you need to know what rails are?
Rails are basically well regulated transformers, which convert domestic current into a voltages that you're computer system can use. And they're essentially two different rails the 3.3/5 volts and the 12 volt. In this particular case the approximate peak output of the 3.3/5 volt rail is 230 watts and the 12 volt is 360 watts, which is essentially how the wattage of this power supply is determined. Now the 3.3/5 volt rail is responsible for the motherboard, memory, PCI cards, AGP card, and so on while the 12 volt rail is responsible for hard drives, DVD, CD-ROM, fans etcetera.
Also, some might be interested to know the amps on each rail. The +3.3 volt is 28 amps and the +5 volt as well as the +12 volt are 30 amps. This power supply comes with a 120 millimeter fan and this fan is extremely quite but still pushes enough air to keep the inside of the power supply cool. Also notice all the ventilation holes at the back as well as the power cable connection and the on and off switch.
There are plenty of leads and they're all sleeved. This make them look great, cuts down to all that cable mass and increases air flow inside the case there are two main motherboard connections the 24 pin and the four pin. There is also a PCI express video card connection a six pin. As well as two Serial ATA and two floppy as well as eight standard four pin Molex connectors and each one of this has an easy grip connector. Now, have a listen to the fan.
This product offers great power and also has all kinds of features like the easy grip connectors, the sleeved leaves and there are plenty of leads as well. A good looking power supply as well as being quite also it’s very affordable, overall this is a kick ass product.
