This is CWT’s CSE platform. The non-VE Core Reactor II editions use the same platform, so you probably wonder what the catch is. XPG used lower-cost electrolytic capacitors to suppress the production cost, which still have high enough quality to outlive the extended warranty. Moreover, the cooling fan remained the same, which is equally important with the filtering caps. All FETs are by good manufacturers since XPG didn’t want to jeopardize the platform’s reliability.
On the primary side, besides the APFC converter, which has been used in every desktop PSU for many years, we also find a half-bridge topology and an LLC resonant converter for lower switching losses. On the secondary side, a synchronous rectification scheme handles the 12V rail, with six FETs total, and the minor rails are generated through a pair of DC-DC converters.
The bulk caps and several caps on the secondary side are by Elite, and we also find several CapXon electrolytic caps. On the secondary side, many polymer caps are also used for ripple filtering.
If this were to be evaluated on a tier list, would it be tier A or tier B? And the 850w model is available in my country for 150 dollars, do you think it is worth buying?
I don’t do tiers, I do best PSUs with actual ratings 🙂 Please check the corresponding article
I think it is expensive at 150 dollars, always for amazon.com standards/
I think so too, the merchants in my country like to give high prices. I guess this is what they call the free market.
i think ELITE the best tier 2 caps on a market, i found out ASUS PRIME PSU was using non Japanese Caps but used ELITE caps as a bulk Caps
