Atlas 520W Gold ATX PSU Review

Thanks to Tweakers Australia for sending in this review.

Power supplies often get overlooked by the average PC user, who usually concentrate more on the main parts such as the motherboard, video card, memory, etc than anything else. Speak to any hardcore overclocker though and it's common knowledge that a system needs a stable power source. This is where the Atlas 520W Gold ATX PSU with 3 temperature and speed controlled fans comes into the picture.

There are 3 fans in this unit - 1 to pull the air up away from around the CPU, 1 to blow the air outwards from the top of the PSU, and then of course there is the rear exhaust fan to extract the air from the case and to blow it out the back. These fans each have a button that can be rotated in 3 different positions being auto, medium and low.
