Page 1 of 4  Today we’re having a look at the new 2-Force II series of power supply from Tagan in 700W form. Supposedly packed with features, we see if it’s good value for money.
Tagan has such a massive range of power supplies at present, it’s often hard to differentiate them from each other. Their range consists of: Black Series – 330W-480W Easycon Series – 430W-580W 2 Force Series – 430W-580W Dual Engine Series – 500W-800W TurboJet Series – 900W-1100W 2-Force II Series – 400W-900W PipeRock Series – 500W-900W TurboJet Plus Series – 1100W-1300W
The choice comes down to not only how much power you need, but also how much cooling you need, how much cabling you need and whether you want modular cables or not. Gone are the days of going in the PC shop and saying “I need a power supply”, you are now bombarded by options. Tagan 700W 2-Force II ATX Power Supply  The 2-Force II series we’re looking at today ranges from 400W up to 900W, and the model we have in our possession is in the middle of the range at 700W. The general specs of the 2-Force II range is as follows*: All range series from entry level to heavy user. (400W~900W) (20+4)PIN patent motherboard connector for 20pin and 24pin sockets. 12V (4+4)PIN patent CPU power connector for 4PIN and 8PIN sockets. PCI-E (6+2)PIN supports present PCI-E 6PIN and future PCI-E 8PIN specification of graphic card. (500W~900W) TG800/900-U33 has four cables of PCI-E for super high-end graphic card. Copper-shielding PCI-E cables with patent REMI technology to reduce ripple and noise and enhance display performance. Unique ground wire with golden pin can release static electricity from power supply and avoid damage. Internal OVP (Over Voltage Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection) function avoids sudden power surge damage peripherals. Universal AC input range for all countries: 100~240VAC with active PFC for better electricity performance. 80%+ electricity efficiency average saves money and reduces losing power become heat. Manual +12V rails “TURBO” mode can integrate +12V rails into single rail with more DC output for heavy +12V loading. TSCT (Tagan Silence Control Technology) keeps under 30dBA even full-loading and hard to recognize by human ear. Thermal control fans are adjustable automatically by temperature inside of the power supply. Fan speed up when temperature rises. Black mesh and copper-shielding cables help user to optimize airflow for thermal release. Special outlook for blowhole design with Chinese cut for window decoration. I/O switch with water-proof cover avoid water and dust adhesion. Big I/O switch bears bigger current and more safety. Embedded AC socket without screw avoid interference with PC case. 400~500W: 2 rails of +12V, ATX12V Ver.2.2, 600~700W: 4 rails of +12V, over ATX12V Ver.2.2 and meet EPS12V Ver.2.91, 800~900W: 6rails of +12V, over ATX12V Ver.2.2 and EPS12V Ver.2.92
