DeepCool PN650M ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Box & Bundle

 

I got a pre-production sample for the review, which didn’t ship into the retail box, so the only photo I have to show you here is from the cables that accompanied the PSU.

Product Photos

The PSU is compact, with only 140mm depth. Its design is similar to the rest of DeepCool products, with the punched fan grille and large perforations allowing for good airflow. Around the back, you will find eleven sockets, including a 12V-2×6 one.

Cables

Modular Cables
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 20+4 pin (550mm) 1 1 18AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (700mm) 2 2 18AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (550mm) 3 3 18AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (600mm) (450W) 1 1 16-24AWG No
SATA (480mm+120mm+120mm+120mm) / 4-pin Molex (+120mm) 2 8 / 2 18AWG No

The unit has the same cable configuration as the series’ higher-capacity models. The EPS cables are extra long, but I cannot say the same for the main ATX cable. The latter is not short; it has the standard length, but in some cases, you might face problems. It would be ideal if it were at least 600mm long. The number of cables and connectors provided is adequate, with the only exception being the pair of 4-pin Molex connectors. An additional 4-pin Molex would be nice. Moreover, the distance between the peripheral connectors is short at 120mm. It should be 150mm, ideally. Lastly, there is no need for thicker gauges on the high-power cables, except for the 12V-2×6 cable, which in this PSU can deliver up to 450W.

A detail about the cables is that all are individually sleeved. Some prefer them. I prefer flat, ribbon-style cables, which cost less.
