Tuniq Potency 550W

3.3V Rail

Tuniq Potency 550W

The 3.3v rail’s voltages certainly aren’t the best of the bunch with them nearly being the worse. They’re not high enough to cause any damage though so are perfectly fine.

5V Rail

Tuniq Potency 550W

The voltages of the 5V rail are pretty reasonable but they fluctuate slightly when more power is needed. This is quite common.

12V Rail

Tuniq Potency 550W

The 12V rail’s voltages are slightly high and fluctuate by 0.3v. The voltages from many of the other power supplies tested also seem to have high 12V rails though.

By looking at the Power Factor you can see the Tuniq has reasonable efficiency throughout states. Although they’re not the best results, they are perfectly adequate to maintain an energy efficient system.

The watt usages are relatively low compared to the other PSU’s on offer. This is completely fine as they’re nowhere near dangerous or problematic levels.

Noise

The 550 Watt Potency is very impressive when it comes to noise output. Throughout testing I couldn’t hear it at all; it was only when I got very close I could hear a very slight whisper.

Cost

The Tuniq Potency 550W will set you back $80. That’s about £55 with today’s poor exchange rate. This is a very competitive price for a 550 Watt unit and works out at just £10 per 100 watts.

CoolIT Domino i5 Testing

Back in July this year we tested the CoolIT watercooling kit using a heavily overclocked AMD 7750+ BE. It’s performance really surprised us with it absolutely caning the other coolers in question. However, processors have quickly moved on since July and we’ve got the likes of the Intel Core i7 and recent i5 dominating the market. For this reason, we thought some i5 testing using our trusty CoolIT Domino was in order. Let’s see if the performance from the Domino still survives in this day and age…

Coolink Lapchilla Laptop Cooler

Laptop technology has advanced greatly over the years with different releases of more powerful and compact systems constantly replacing the top notebooks of the year before. However, improving the performance of laptops usually has the knock on effect of producing more heat and so users will commonly seek advice in order to better cool their laptop. An often used approach to this problem is a Laptop Cooler.

However, most laptop coolers do more than simply draw hot air from your system. Many laptop coolers also have become a key feature in making the experience of using a portable machine at a desk more comfortable overall. Most coolers provide an elevated position for the actual laptop which usually features a sort of incline to the keyboard, thus allowing comfortable angles for typing during the longer sessions at the computer.

Zaward Golf Fan II

Many of you wouldn’t have heard of Zaward before and don’t feel disheartened if you’re one, they’re a fairly new company specializing in specifically computer cooling. One of the most innovative products in their catalogue is what’s called the ‘Golf Fan II’. Unlike most case fans, the Golf Fan 2 features a patent golf-ball-like texture on its fins which according to Zaward reduces noise levels by 15% at the same RPM and airflow. Now I’ve reviewed a lot of case fans in my day and many boast large claims like this, to find out whether Zaward’s marketing department are not just playing about, let’s put it to the test and find out whether it’s true to its word.
