AXP / Xion SuperNova 600W

Introduction

I would like to thank Caseking.de for supplying the test sample.

The AXP SuperNova 600W is sold as Xion SuperNova in the United States and AXP SuperNova in Europe. It is designed as an affordable PSU that can still pack a punch and keep your high-end system running.

This PSU is also identical to the Kingwin MACH 1 600W power supply and seems to be made by SuperFlower which are a big OEM in addition to having their own products on the market.

Packaging

I find the AXP box designs it looks a bit cheap. What is more important is that all the important specs are communicated to the customer. Also a nice picture shows the special cable mounting mechanism and its lighting which is certainly out of the ordinary.


All the modular cables are shipping a clear plastic box which leaves a well organized impression.
