Advantages And Specifics Of Your New Power Supply - BE QUIET! STRAIGHT POWER E8-CM-680W Manual Del Usuario

3. ADVANTAGES AND SPECIFICS OF yOUR NEW POWER SUPPLy

High efficiency:
The power supply series from Straight Power
dispose of a very high degree of efficiency. This
helps them to reduce the costs of electricity
that accumulate within a year when there's a
high rate of operation.
A high efficiency means that the power supply
can convert the incoming alternative current
into direct current with a lower level of losses.
This leads to a lower amount of warmth loss, which then has a positive effect on cooling the power supply.
Power supplys that feature as high a rate of efficiency as is exhibited by the Straight Power series, can thus be
operated with an extremely slow moving and thus, very quiet fan. An extremely low development of noise is the
result of this continually technical advancement.
Economical:
The power supplys of the Straight Power series corresponds to the current guidelines 2002/95/EG (RoHs and
WEEE directives) issued by the European Union.
An environmentally conscious manner of production and the usage of materials that do not include harmful
substances that are dangerous for the environment are guaranteed with be quiet! products. In this way, both
we the manufacturer and you the consumer actively help in making an important contribution to the protection
of our environment.
Voltage stability:
The power supplys from the Straight Power series dispose of a first-class stability in supplying your valuable
components with electricity. This is also created by the usage of high quality components. As such, output
voltages are kept very close to the optimal nominal value, which is very important for a higher demand on
performance.
Warmth-dependent air velocity control:
be quiet! power supplys from the Straight Power series make use of a very precise air velocity control.
The speed of the fan is regulated depending on the warmth development in the power supply. If the tempe-
rature increases, the fans automatically begin to turn faster in order to ensure a quick and effective cooling
within the case.
Ultra Silent concept
Encompasses a variety of electrical and mechanical optimisations to provide more silent operation, optimum
air flow and very low noise production
Technical advantages
