Review Thermaltake Power Express 650 – Affordable Power for Your High-end Graphics

This is the package box. According to Thermaltake’s claim, is has an efficiency rating of more than 80%.

The front side of the PSU looks rather simple, with honeycomb ventilation grill and three indicator lamps on the lower right corner.

Each of the three LED lamps lights up according to their indicator function, showing if the 12V2 or 12V1 (or both) is being used.
There is a mounting rail on both sides if the PSU, used to mount the unit inside two 5,25-inch front drive bays.

An 8-cm, 3000 RPM fan is installed on the back to cool the PSU. Being a modular unit, the cables are detachable so that users can opt to plug only the cables they need. There are two 8-pin and two 6-pin PCI express power connectors available. The connector on the lower side connects to the motherboard’s 24-pin ATX connector to trigger Power Express 650’s power-on mechanism.

A sticker describing the PSU’s specification can be found on the bottom side.

These are the cables we found inside the box.

Two 6-pin and two 8-pin modular cables are included in the package.

For those who need four 6-pin connectors, two 8-pin to 6-pin converter cables are also available.
