end user and professional needs.
Taipei, Taiwan, May 15th, 2003 - Global WIN, a leading specialist in thermal conductivity and heat dissipation today launched its first series of PC power supplies: the SAF320, SAF420 and SAF520 - three different models powered at 320, 420 and 520 Watts equipped with a high grade security level and the option to control up to five fans.
The Global WIN SAF series of power supply units (PSU’s) feature a patented thermal fan controller which enables the use of up to five fans simultaneously. As there are already two 80 mm fans included in the power supply unit, you are able to control up to three other case fans without any additional hardware required. Furthermore, the fans in the power supply have a noise level of only 22 dBA and equally the fan speed can be adjusted by using a three position switch (auto/low/middle). These power supplies enable system integrators and end users to design a very quiet PC system. All Global WIN SAF series PSUs are ready to use for mainboards supporting Intel P4 and AMD CPUs.
The allowance of an extra 100 Watts for 60 seconds in peak load and an almost ideal high level PFC value of 0,989 gives users an extremely high level of safety. The security package also includes OVP (Over Voltage Protection), OCP (Over Current Protection) and SCP (Short Circuit Protection) on all six types of DC outputs. The power supplies are capable of withstanding a maximum of 2200 VDC potential between input and ground for a period of one minute.
The SAF320 power supply will certainly answer to end user requirements whilst the SAF420 and SAF520 models will be perfect for the more demanding professional devices such as servers.
Three features give the name to the Global WIN SAF series:
Super Silent Operations
You wouldn’t expect anything less from Global WIN whose leadership in this field is already well known thanks to its cooling solutions. The SAF PSU’s feature a three position switch (auto/middle/slow) which enable the user to lower the noise disturbance when maximum airflow is not required. The two fans inside the PSU with their low 22dBA noise level meet the requirements for silent PC systems.
Active PFC (Active Power Factor Correction)
Active PCF compliance is currently becoming a standard and generates an optimal power distribution by providing a higher and more efficient power frequency and also automatically corrects the input voltage thus giving a stable electrical flow; protecting the computer from over voltage and short circuit. The PFC reaches 96 % at 230 V, under full output loading in accordance with the EN 61000-3-2, class D standards.
Fan Control
To reduce noise disturbance the fan speed control can be connected to three additional fans such as those from the PC case which will also be regulated simultaneously with the power supply fan thereby giving control to the entire PC air exhaustion.
“We wanted to wait until we had a real competence in this field before launching in to our new breed of products,” declared Andy LIN, Global WIN CEO. “But the patents, technologies and know-how now gathered within Global WIN have made it possible to build these silent and reliable SAF power supplies; thus proposing a complete series to meet both end user and professional requirements”.
Price & availability
SAF320, SAF420 and SAF520 will be shortly available through Global Win’s sole agent in the UK; Rainbow Components. http://www.rainbowcomponents.co.u k
