EVIEWS 10 GRAPHIC SUCKS SERIES
At the other end of the spectrum, we have the Kolink Core Series 500W which comes in at just £27…is it too good to be true though? Performanceįirst of all, the performance is actually relatively good despite the load placed on the unit.
The one key thing you should really look for is quality and sometimes spending extra on stupidly high wattage power supplies seriously isn’t needed. Idleĭespite what people tell you when you’re looking to buy a power supply, you don’t necessarily need to ‘over buy’ on the wattage. We will endeavor to improve our testing methods throughout and sometime in 2017 though!ĪTX themselves specify that a fluctuation and variable of 5% is acceptable so to number crunch it means that:Īny readings outside of these figures will be an automatic fail. In the case of this unit, the GTX 1060 doesn’t support SLI. To load and apply power to the power supply, a combination of IBT and Furmark will be run to put as much strain on the power supply as possible. After 10 minutes the readings will be taken and to ensure maximum strain, the CPU will be overclocked to 4.5GHz. Depending on the power of the power supply, multiple graphics cards could be used in line with how comfortable I feel the power supply will cope with such load.

Voltages will be monitored via a multi-meter and the AC power draw will be monitored via a power monitor when drew from the wall. For the idle test, the system will be simply booted up and let to run into windows and after 5 minutes when the power draw has leveled out, the readings will be taken. To perform the above tests, the methodology will be as follows:Ĭrucial (2x8gb) 32GB DDR4 Ballistix Elite 3000MHz

Since we don’t currently have access to an ATE load tester, a multi-meter is used to show each of the power supplies performance on the 3.3v, 5v, and 12v rails. Although we can’t do full load tests, we can provide relative information regarding variance and fluctuation of current and ripple on the rails which is integral and indicative of quality in a power supply.

Efficiency: at least 80 percent at 50/20/100 percent load, 80 Plus certified.Dimensions: 140 x 86 x 150 mm (W x H x D).Let’s take a look at the official specifications of this power supply and then see how it performs within our testing. Not a great amount of connections and in this particular unit’s defence, it is a rather basic unit which is intended for a rather low powered system and of course, basic system. The 500w model has the following connections: It also has a simple 3-pin kettle lead power input to connect the power supply to the wall mains.ĭue to the low cost of the Kolink Core Series 500W power supply, this unit is unfortunately not modular, but given the pricing, it’s easy to understand why the unit is fully wired. The rear panel of the unit features a ventilated panel which sports a rectangular themed design as opposed to the more popular honeycomb most manufacturers use. This unit along with the other Core Series models complies with the 80PLUS efficiency standard and is officially certified. This sticker is black in colour and sports a green trim at the top and bottom. One of the side panels features a sticker containing information regarding vital specifications of the power supply. Today of course, we will be focusing primarily on the 500w model. Brands such as Kolink among others are trying to fill the gap between value and premium products including the model on review today the Kolink Core Series 500W power supply.Īlthough very basic in design even down to the packaging, the Core Series range is available with different wattage output’s these include 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 watt models. It’s true however that having a reliable and good quality power supply is a wise move as a ‘bad’ unit can’t just fail, but it can wipe out other components too. It’s no surprise that when people talk about power supplies within various communities, the importance of a good quality one is paramount in people’s opinion.
