Introduction

I would like to thank Thermaltake for supplying me with the unit for review.

Traditionally, power supplies have been sold either as stand-alone or together with cases. Fortron Sparkle was the first manufacturer to bundle additional items with a power supply unit - Thermaltake is doing the same now. They have put together a kit to silence your PC. It contains the following items:

• Low noise 410 Watt PSU (available in black and silver)
• CPU heatsink with copper base and fan controller
• 120mm case fan with fan controller

Here is a schematic that shows the components:

Power Supply Unit

Thermaltake has done a good job with the cable sleeving, all cables that have a similar function are sleeved in the same color. The ends of each sleeving are fixed with heatshrink, some other manufacturers are saving money there and show you just the bare ends.



While SATA harddisks haven't taken over the market, the additional SATA connectors are a nice add-on which help making your investment future proof.




The POLO12's power supply has a good amount of connectors. All are long enough even for bigger cases.



While running, three LEDs give the PSU a pretty blue glow. Very nice.
