________________________

Akasa have made a good name for themselves in the computer PSU market with their PaxPower series. While Akasa mainly offer fans and other computer modding parts, their first entry in the PSU market was a success as the PaxPower units were not only powerful but also exceptionally silent. Akasa recently revised most of their units and increased the number of models they offer. Today we will take a look at one of their new units, the Power+ iQ P650FH 650W unit. It has four 12V lines and boasts a load of features. Through the review we will try to find out if this particular unit can live up to the Akasa’s hard earned reputation throughout enthusiast circles.

I dont get PSU' with a 80mm cooler, aleast a 120mm and a 140MM if possible.

nice testing, but the 80mm fan is killer.

Above all, I'm impressed by your testing station. I've seen testers try to be creative, but this is much more serious than what I've seen so far.

Also, I like the product - the power, the stability... I'm not sure if voltages that exceed nominal value are a veery good thing, but the deviations are below 3% if I remember, so I'd say that that's ok.
