Features
 NEW!  500 watts Industrial Grade performance .. without the noise

Built-in Real-Time Wattage Meter (Patented):
Patented built-in real-time wattage meter eliminates the power supply wattage requirement guesswork.  User can now visualize how much wattage power is available for adding more cards or drives.
 
System power consumption at one glance !


This meter takes out the fear of overloading your power supply when you are in need of installing additional devices to your system.    For example, if the maximum system power consumption is shown to be 150w, then you would have additional 350w of reserve power to accomodate additional video cards or drives.
People currently buy higher wattage power supply than they need because: We just don't know how much wattage our systems need exactly from a power supply.  A lot of power supplies in the market are over-rated in wattage claim that users feel that they never seem to get a powerful enough power supply.

System Administrators, Technicians, Engineers, and PC builders:
No more guess work on how strong of a power supply you would need for any system.   You can use this unit to gauge the maximum system wattage requirement first, then install an appropriate lower cost lower wattage power supply for the system.  You no longer have to over-supply each and every system. 

Disclaimer: We recommend using a lower cost HIGH POWER® models in this method of appropriating the right power supply wattage for each system as all models from HIGH POWER® are accurately rated.  Use of many cheap over-rated power supply models that are currently flooding the market may return disappointing result. 

  • Advanced Double Forward circuit design and double-layer PCB manufacturing with flush  mount SMT components.  The result is a high efficency (over 80%)  power supply with improved reliablity, reduced heat-dissipation,  more energy-efficient, and longer-lasting. -- Ideal for critical 24/7 data center server application where 40%* of the operational spending is on power.

RoHS Compliant - made with hazardous-free components
 RoHS is the Restriction Of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment. This has been a standard in Europe and is now becoming a standard in the world. Not only lead, but cadium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants are limited as well.

Patented EZ-Extract (squeeze-and-pull) Peripheral Power Connectors
 No longer must you fight and hurt your fingers to pull out a peripheral power connector from a hard drive or CD ROM drive.  With this patented EZ-Extract connectors, all you have to do is to squeeze the connector shields as pictured.  And then the shield will in turn help push the connector out of the drive socket.
