The PSU

The power switch is illuminated when power is connected. The unit automatically detects the line voltage, so a 110V/220V switch is not needed.


Just like the 850W unit we reviewed recently, the NRP-HC1201 comes with a sticker on one side that mimics leather. This can add a nice touch to your system when viewed through the case window.


The back shows all the modular connections. As you can see some important cables like ATX power are always used. This has the advantage of ensuring optimum power delivery for those connections while giving you the convenience of modularity for the less often used connectors.


The 140mm fan dominates the top of the unit.


The motherboard connector supports both 20 and 24 pin operation. You can clip the two parts together for easy installation in small or crowded cases.


The same is possible for the CPU power connector, they can be clipped together to form a solid connection.


The PCI-Express power connectors can either be used a 6 pin or 8 pin variant.
