Page 2 of 4 The modular cables of the NeoPower are connected to the main unit via 5 x 6-Pin outlets near the outlet for the motherboard power cables, and as all the cables (including the modular cables) are sheathed in plastic mesh it’s very easy to keep everything neat and tidy inside your case. The Modular Connectors  The cooling of the NeoPower 650 Blue is taken care of with a single 120mm fan in the base of the unit, which varies its speed depending on the load and temperature of the PSU. We had the NeoPower running our standard test setup with an ASUS nForce SLI motherboard, Intel Core2Duo E6600 and dual GeForce 8800GTS video cards and it was nearly silent, the CPU and GPU fans were the only things in the system making any noise, I had to stop those two fans and put my head right next to the PSU to hear anything at all. The fan is a clear-blade LED fan, but it is not like all the other LED fans that are out there. Most LED fans have the LEDs in the outer frame shining towards the hub of the fan to light up the fan itself, whereas this one has no LEDs in the actual fan, but rather 3 LEDs mounted inside the power supply, in the heatsinks and they shine through the fan so they can light up the rest of the computer case. So the actual fan will have a different look compared to what you’re used to from LED fans, but it will do a good job of giving your case a nice blue glow. LED Lights On  There is no secondary exhaust fan on the back of the power supply, as the 120mm fan seems to be more than adequate at cooling the unit, so the hot air finds its own way through a mesh of metal at the rear which gives the NeoPower a very neat and clean appearance at the back. Rear of the PSU  You may also notice that on the back there is no voltage switch to go between 110V and 220V for different areas of the world. That’s because the NeoPower has a universal input so it can be used anywhere in the world and there’s no risk of blowing it up by selecting the wrong voltage.
