Makes me wonder why there aren't more PSU's utilizing heatpipes to optimize heat transfer and decrease noise this way.

Kantastic · Nov 10, 2010, 10:41 AM

Someone tell me why this thing is so long?

Salsoolo · Nov 10, 2010, 11:34 AM

because its a patented design

Not only is it long, but it looks like they've put the fan in a non-standard place too. Most PSUs that I have seen have the 120-135mm fan near the rear (on-off switch) end of the power supply - and cases usually have their vent holes in this area as a result.

Zalman have bunged their fan further down towards the other end of the PSU. Weird.

Freaking awesome they have update my PSU yay and not yay cos now I need a new one lol, Also hmm maybe eventually a tower heatsink cooled PSU? Can only imagine.

WarEagleAU · Nov 10, 2010, 04:59 PM

And because if its silent heatpipe/block combo. Id like to know the OEM behind this. I love their layout for saying what goes where. I would like for that PCIE cable to be fully shielded/shrink wrapped, makes for a better presentation. Of course having said all that, I would also like it if you could plug any cable into any spot and use it for whatever you need it for. I Think there is a PSU maker who recently done that....cant recall who it is though.

Because of the massive heat sinks in there and the heat pipes.

There is a lot of heat sink inside that thing.

Look

The reason the fan was moved, is to make room for the giant heat sink and heat pipes, it's odd, but I promise you it works!

I for one am super excited, as I have the original version of the ZM850HP, it's almost 2 years old, and still works great, no v-droop, the cables are awesome the gauge on the wiring is the same as on my SILVERSTONE ST1500, and the power cable is flipping thicker than a tree.

I really hope their will be a review here!

Me three!!
Im a proud owner of the good old model...
More silent that this only passive...

SabreWulf69 · Nov 10, 2010, 06:36 PM

I simply can't wait to try it out here in Aus. The original one I have is still awesome (ZM-850HP). Goes strong, reliable, review tested, still has a hell of a lot of expandability I will most realistically never use and is as stable as since the day I purchased it. Can't wait for the full review :-)

Think it was Kingwin's new 1000W PSU, OEM SuperFlower.
