A Closer Look
The XClio PSU enclosure is coated with a rubber-like material and uses a single 140mm fan on the bottom side for cooling. The thin rubber coating is flat black in appearance and is designed to provide additional mechanical shock resistance and help minimize noise. The fan speed is dynamically adjusted based on power supply load and temperature.
The large seven bladed fan is manufactured by Yate Loon Electronics (D14SH-12) and is capable of moving a large amount of air with minimal noise. The open honeycomb grill on the back of the PSU presents minimal restriction to the flow of exhaust air.

A clear plastic shroud partially blocks airflow under the fan and helps direct the air across heatsinks and other components inside the power supply that need cooling.
