AeroCool recently introduced their KCAS entry level power supply unit to local PSU market, that’s one more brand for users to consider.
The packaging for the KCAS seems nothing out of the ordinary.
The black coated PSU is nothing out of the ordinary as well. Interestingly the KCAS 700 sticker is placed on the side of the PSU that’s facing the inside of the casing.
When mounted on casings, it ends up being the power delivery table facing outwards.
Check out the image below to get the picture, notice how they lose the opportunity to “shout out” their product?
The KCAS 700w comes with sleeved cable and more than enough for the general computer setup.
And here’s the power delivery table.
While the KCAS 700W is an 80Plus Bronze Certified PSU, AeroCool claims it does 85% efficiency.
Just as with the rest of my test, I’ve been running it on an R9 280X on load for weeks and all seems good. Until I get a proper load tester, we’ll just have to look at it from how the consumer uses it. In fact running a 250w graphic card 24/7 is more than what the average consumer does.
Another thing I like about it is the cable sleeve as it covers almost every area possible, no unsightly wires visible even between connectors.
