Bjorn3D has posted an Antec TruePower 550 power supply review



When I found out a nForce2 motherboard was on its way, I asked our Antec rep if I could swap the 430 TruePower PSU that came with my Antec 1080 Plus case for a TruePower 550. Luckily she was happy to take care of that! I have now had a couple of months to play with the new power supply and nForce2 to give you my impressions and point out the specs and benefits of the TruePower 550 PSU.

The first thing you will notice about an Antec power supply is the dual fans. It has a fan inside the power supply that pulls air from inside the case and into the power supply. The rear fan on the power supply then sends the hot air out the back of the supply. The other thing you'll notice right away is how heavy it was. The TruePower 550 weighs in at 5lbs, 2 pounds heavier than my 300 watt generic PSU! Weight may not be better for race cars and airplanes, but it denotes quality in a power supply.
