Tagan Easycon XL 700w TG700-U35 PSU
Looking Inside
Published: 17th October 2006 | Source: Tagan | Price: |
As with all power supplies that pass through Overclock3D, I'll be taking a look inside the Easycon XL. By doing this I should be able to get a good idea of the overall build quality of the unit and how it is likely to perform in our tests.
The inside of the TG700-U35 is surprisingly spacious for a 700w unit, with two rather small aluminium heatsinks being used on the mosfets. Credit has to be given to Tagan for keeping everything tidy and using cable ties to bunch the wiring together for optimal airflow.
During my inspection of the Easycon XL, I came across the 3 potentiometers (pots) seen above. These pots are responsible for adjusting the output voltage on the +3.3v, +5v and +12v rails of the power supply, and can come in handy if voltages droop outside of ATX specifications.
Tagan have used a 135mm clear plastic fan to cool the TG700-U35 badged under their own name. Unfortunately I was unable to find any specifications for this fan on the Internet as no part of the serial number printed on the fans sticker turned up any results.

nice work
(although i think if someone can afford to build a rig that needs 700W then efficiency is the last thing on their mind
