High Power is the OEM behind this platform, and this is easy to find out by looking at the design of the heatsinks on the primary side. The PCB is loaded with parts despite the increased number of daughter boards used. Polymer caps are mostly used on the secondary side for ripple filtering, with few electrolytic caps mainly used for energy storage.
The unit’s design is contemporary, with a half-bridge topology on the primary side and an LLC resonant converter for lossless switching. Four Infineon FETs handle the 12V rail on the secondary side, and a pair of PWM controllers generate the minor rails. ANPEC provides the VRMs’ common PWM controller.
Except for the fan, which is terrible, all other parts are of good quality. Nonetheless, I spotted a really bad area at the PCB’s solder side, so while the solder quality is fair, this bad area spoils the overall impression. Apparently, something went wrong in the production line, and the quality control wasn’t tight enough to “cut” this unit.
