OCZ Fatal1ty Champion Series 700W PSU Review - Cases and Cooling 35

The steel enclosure of the OCZ Fatal1ty Champion series 700W power supply features a black matte finish and a large Fatal1ty logo on the side that lights up red when the PSU is turned on.  The enclosure measures 160mm (6.3”) long, so it should fit easily into most any PC case.  The Fatal1ty 700W PSU uses a single 120mm fan with red LEDs on the bottom for cooling.  The fan speed is automatically controlled by the internal component temperature (speeds up as the combined load and temperature increases) via an onboard PWM speed controller.  The 120mm Power Logic fan (PLA12025S12H-4) is rated for .36A when operating on 12 VDC.

The backside panel includes a power receptacle, master On-Off switch, and a status LED that changes color to indicate what state the PSU is in (yellow = standby, green = normal operation, and red = fault).  The open grill structure on the back allows air to exhaust out of the power supply with minimal restriction and turbulence.
