If you haven’t caught on already, it’s currently trendy to have a quiet computer rather than a loud one, regardless of how much it is overclocked. It is now possible to buy silent (or near silent) components for every part of your computer. Of these, one piece that has garnered a bit of attention is the PSU. Silent PSUs are usually either expensive, weak, or both. Coolmax’s “Taurus” Silent PSU tries to address these issues, so that you can have a silent computer without sacrificing power or money.
Thanks to Rob from HardCoreCooling for sending me the PSU. HCC updates regularly, so check back often for new shiny/flashy things. The Taurus can be bought there for $49.99 at the time of writing.
Packaging:
The Taurus is packaged in an orange and yellow box with stickers on the side
indicating the model and subsequently power rating of the power supply inside – the one for review today is a 450 watt.
The box contains: (shown in a beautiful sunset motif)
The PSU itself sealed in plastic, and again in bubble wrap,
A 20pin ATX to 24pin ATX connector (for Xeon EPS server motherboards)
A 4pin AUX to 8pin AUX connector (again for server boards)
A power cord
and a small manual
