PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 860W

The Turbo Cool 860 measures just 15cm in length – slightly shorter than the standard ATX PSU. It features a matte black scratch resistant finish. Personally I prefer this sort of paint job as it’s much more robust and long lasting than thin – but shiny – paint finishes.

As you can see, there is no 120mm fan atop this power supply. According to PC Power and Cooling, the 80mm fan at the rear is a much more suited cooling solution for PSU’s. Many will disagree to this claim though. Instead of the 120mm fan atop, a power specifications sticker, SLI logo and test sticker is present.

An unusual feature on the top of the unit is three small holes (one is hidden below the test sticker) which correspond with 3 small potentiometers below. These allow the user to adjust the DC output rail voltages to obtain a fine tuned voltage. When we test this power supply later on, we’ll use the factory settings to obtain our voltages to keep the testing consistent with the other PSU’s in our roundup.

Flipping the entire unit over, you can see that the reverse side is completely bare. However, you may notice that alike the right side; the left side has a slotted grill too to improve airflow.

At the front of the PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 860W is an 80mm fan with black fan grill, an oversized power switch and the usual kettle type power connector. This solid frontage is a good example of the solid industry standard this unit strives to be.

Moving to the rear you’ll find a large mesh area with the intended purpose of drawing air through. As the Turbo Cool isn’t modular, this PSU has a vast array of cables leading from the unit itself.
