Review on Computer case AeroCool CS-101 400 W, black by Petar Angelkov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

Having dug a little Market found this power supply: "Chieftec SFX-450BS 450W" - only with positive reviews. After checking the attachment points (according to the pictures) and the place of the power cable socket, I bought it without thinking. It fit perfectly, without any remarks at all . . a very quiet and powerful (for its form factor) power supply, with a controlled cooler speed. The only thing is, if you have CPU power through an 8 pin connector, you will have to purchase a 4pin to 8pin adapter. The HTPC computer has become really quiet, we can recommend it for purchase. All the best, acoustic comfort and pleasure from using a computer in this wonderful case.

Pros
  • I decided to "repack" the HTPC computer from the Antec case into a more modern and compact one, the choice fell on the AeroCool CS-101 400W Black. In terms of ergonomics, it fit perfectly, right under my configuration: mATX + SSD 2.5 "+ HDD 3.5" + CD-RW.
Cons
  • For a home theater (HTPC), the "native" AeroCool SX-400 400W power supply turned out to be unrealistically noisy, I tried to modify it according to the recommendations of previous reviews - I put an expensive and silent cooler Akasa AK-FN076 into it. But the power supply turned out to be "defective" at the component level, the whistle of the chokes became clearly audible, even when scrolling in the browser, the whistle sharply manifested itself and "cut" the ear.
