Whisper Quiet – Simple 120mm two ball-bearing fan controlled by Antec’s renowned Thermal Manager and CircitShield™ operates with minimal noise even at full load.
Premium Components – EarthWatts employs fully-protected High Current +12V rails with high load capabilities to ensure maximum CPU and GPU compatibility. It is designed with 100% Japanese capacitors, ensuring maximum DC stability and regulation.
Safety Precautions – Patented CircuitShield™ includes voltage, current, power, under voltage, and short circuit protection which automatically shuts down the PSU to prevent further system damage.
