Introducing: LEPA G900, power supply for big cats
The unit to be presented now is thus clearly a top category, but at least a piece belonging to the upper segment of the middle category, which nothing shows better than the list of services.
- 80 PLUS Gold rating with 93% efficiency peak
- 13,9 cm quiet fan
- 8-pin PCI-E connector
- Active PFC, overcurrent, overvoltage and short circuit protection
- 18 amp output on the 12 volt branch, supporting the latest six-core processors
- 60 cm cable whip for modern, under-powered houses
- SATA connectors at 3,3 volts due to SSD support
- Modular design for as few cables as possible
As you can see, essentially everything on the ground is well packed with power, but to what components the structure is made up, we only get an answer after disassembly. In the meantime, let’s see the box and what’s in it!
It is clear that the manufacturer has nothing to hide with the LEPA G900, in fact, it normally uses the surfaces of the box to present the product. After the above list, we can safely say that there is a reason for this. The black box is full of pictures, a leopard looks into our eyes with a serious picture from the top.
The cardboard is large, with the lid open the power supply, a 230 volt power cord, a description (no Hungarian language) and a smaller cardboard box. In this box you will find the modular cables, each of which is covered with plastic stockings. The connectors have lugs on the power side to prevent the cables from moving.
The power supply itself is quite bulky, but suspiciously not just to fit the 14-centimeter fan. This is indicated by its rather large weight, as well as the abundance of parts we saw when we looked at the grille.
The cover is matt black with a LEPA G900 sticker on each side, which was designed sometime in the eighties. Behind the fan grille decorated with the golden LEPA logo, we find a fan with gold blades. Sure, gold suggests quality, but a gold fan is pretty much as suited to this as an Indian car, reinforcing luxury, the artwork is wood inlay.
On the belly of the power supply we find the usual table, which shows the load capacity of the rails, and which immediately shows that no less than four 12-volt branches have been formed in this power supply by the manufacturer.
With regard to the exterior, we need to address one more thing, and that is the cable whip, of which you may have already found a piece of data above, and that is its length. We prove that it actually reaches sixty centimeters, which enables the power supply to be used in a higher-than-usual housing, even if the power supply is completely separate from the motherboard and is located at the bottom.
