The PCB is huge but provides enough space between parts for good airflow. The amount of cables leaving from one of the daughter boards to connect it with the modular board and the DC-DC converters board is something I didn’t expect in a high-end platform. All these connections should be implemented through the main PCB, not cables. These cables don’t affect airflow; the problem is mainly aesthetic. Overall, the build quality is top, and the design is interesting. I would love to see a fully digital platform, though, where the minor rails and 5VSB are digitally controlled, too.

On the primary side, GaN MODFETs regulate the AC incoming signal. The pair of bridge rectifiers handles the standby rail (5VSB). In the totem-pole PFC converter, the bulk caps are by Rubycon, and their combined capacity is enough to provide a long hold-up time. The 12V FETs are on a vertical board, which is difficult to remove so that I couldn’t identify them. I can easily remove this board, but I am not sure I will be able to install it without affecting the unit’s operation, so I decided to leave it alone.

Two large boards on the sides hold the digital controllers, the cost of which affected the unit’s price. Due to the IC shortage in the last years, MCU prices have skyrocketed, which is one reason that the Fusion 1600 goes for 700 dollars. Moreover, Delta is an expensive OEM, and since this design is new, it also has to cover a part of the development cost, which was substantial, according to my sources.
