A Detailed Look (Cont’d)
Here are a few pictures showing the layout and components inside the TruePower Quattro 1,000W power supply. The overall layout and build quality appears to be very good.

As we mentioned earlier, Antec has elected to go with a new manufacturer for the Quattro series and chose Enhance to be their OEM.

At first glance the Quattro 1,000W power supply appears almost identical to the Quattro 850W unit but close inspection reveals several components have been changed to support the higher output. For example the primary capacitor in the Quattro 850W is rated at 470uF, 400V, 105°C while the Hitachi cap on the primary of the Quattro 1kW unit is rated at 560uF, 450V, 105°C.

The secondary side of Quattro 1kW PSU features all Teapo caps rated for 105°C. A small, secondary PCB attached to the top of one of the heatsinks further handles +12V distribution and fan speed control.

And last but not least, the backside of the modular cable connector PCB.
