while you grow strong

I needed a power supply small enough to fit in the Jonsbo UMX1 Plus case and still handle a long GPU. With a length of 140 mm and a fully modular housing, it is hardly possible. At first I was put off by the Bronze rating and the fact that I've never paid less than $100 to power my high-end devices, but after much searching I just couldn't find a power supply that did it (or better). ausseh was fully modular, 140mm long and whose online reviews haven't shown many DOA/Tot reports in (x) time. Pros: Very quiet fan and no coil hum/whine from the PSU. Single 12V rail and fully modular design with flat cables that bend easily. Only 140mm long! Cons: Cable connectors can be difficult to remove/insert. If you're using an angled power cord (depending on how it's angled), it may not plug all the way into the power supply due to the I/O switch getting in the way. Using Chinese TEAPO 85c capacitors and similar brands may affect durability. I've only been using this power supply for a week with great results, so fingers crossed it continues to work like this for some time (or until I find a much better replacement).
