Introduction


There are three types of PSU: standard, partially modular and modular. Conventional power supplies are those to which most users are accustomed, such models have a large bundle of wiring tightened inside the case.There is no possibility of increasing the length of the cables, replacing them in the occasion of damage, or simply dismantling unnecessary lines. The second type is these ones to which our experimental, partially modular systems belong. There comes out a limited number of wires, and as a rule, the other cables are connected using connectors on the case. And the third option is when all the wiring are completely disconnected from the case. Modular system allows you to get rid of problems with extra wiring, taking up a lot of space inside the case and worsening air circulation. Usually such models cost a little more.
