techPowerUp takes a look at the In Win GreenMe 650 W PSU
In Win is one of the few companies out there that has the knowledge and the facilities to build some of their PSU offerings themselves, instead of buying a ready platform from one of the usual OEMs (FSP, Seasonic, Delta etc.), making the GreenMe series an in-house product. We are pretty sure that this is the main reason behind the attractive price of all GreenMe units.In Win GreenMe 650 W Review
The GreenMe PSUs come with another added bonus, besides being made by In Win. For every unit sold, In Win is committed to donate $1 to the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) organization. The donation to the WWF is the reason they named their series GreenMe in the first place, since a Bronze efficiency PSU isn’t considered friendly to the environment, at least if compared to Gold and Platinum efficiency units. Nevertheless, in an attempt to increase the eco-friendly profile of the GreenMe units, In Win ships them in a box that is composed of fully recycled materials.
The new GreenMe units come in three versions, with 550 W, 650 W and 750 W capacity. We will test the 650 W capacity unit in this review. Like all GreenMe series PSUs, the GreenMe 650 features a white paint-job that helps it stand out from the crowd of dark colored PSUs, utilizes a non-modular cabling system and, although it has a low efficiency rating for today standards, still uses DC-DC converters for the generation of the minor rails. The last feature provides an efficiency boost and the ability to deliver its full power on the +12V rail alone, which, in this case, consists of four virtual rails.
