Nexus Value 430 Watt Quiet Power Supply   When you are building or upgrading your computer, keep in mind that the power supply is considered to be the beating heart of your PC system (with the CPU being the brains). The power supply is the most critical component when it comes to stability of your system. Irregular and un-stable voltage rails will cause instable performance and system crashes. Nexus power supplies are constructed without any compromises on component quality. We choose the best; and because of this, cooling can be done in a quiet manner. A solid fan with the utmost silent bearing will keep the power supply cool and running smoothly. The Nexus Value 430 is a 430 Watt power supply, with more than 80% efficiency, sleeved cables and an ultra compact design; it is a perfect solution for a silent PC. • Optimal Silence   Below 15 db(A) • Responsible Efficiency • 430 Watt Real Power • 12cm Silent Fan • Reliable Quality • 4 x 12V Rails • Space Saving Design • Sleeved Cables • Includes 6+2-pin PCI   Value 430 Watt — Space Saving Design The Nexus Value 430 is an ATX form factor power supply and it will fit in any ATX form factor computer case. Nexus made the VALUE 430 a bit shorter then regular ATX power supplies. The smaller size results in more space inside your pc for more/better airlflow. The Value 430 has a lenght of just 12.5cm. Compared to regular ATX power supplies, that is 1.5cm shorter and 4 to 5.5cm shorter then modular power supplies. Nexus Value 430 is a great, smaller PSU!   Noise Levels By carefully selecting each and every component Nexus aims to create the best possible mix of components to make their power supplies as silent as possible. Carefully balance performance and noise level get the best of both worlds. Nexus is confident that their power supplies are leading the market when it comes to solid performance at the lowest possible noise level. Nexus test the noise level of the power supplies in an ISO certified chamber. This chamber is the industry's standard for noise tests and the background noise in such a chamber is a little over 15dB(A). Any product producing lesser noise then 15dB(A) cannot be measured. The below graph shows our measurements at different loads.                 Noise Testing Data Nexus provides the exact details of their noise level test as they feel dB(A) values are difficult values to compare as there are many ways of testing and calculating. In the market there are a lot of unrealistic dB(A) value-claims which are often calculated by means of extrapolation. This in fact does not give a realist view of the fans noise level performance.           Efficiency Nexus aims to use the electricity from your wall outlet as efficient as possible. The Value 430 is guarnateed to provide you with over 80% efficiency at all loads and as you can see from the graph below, the efficiency level reaches sometimes as high as 85%. Lesser waste means lesser heat and better conditions in your pc system...and a lower electricity bill.                   Stand By In standby conditions without load the power supply consumes: at 230V/AC - below1W at 115V/AC - approx 0.5W                 Value 430 Features – 430 Watt true power power supply – a minimum of 80% efficiency guaranteed at all loads! – Real silent performance with less then 15.0 dB(A) in idle mode – with 4 x 12V Rails – Sleeved cables for a tidy system – Active PFC – Real Silent 12cm fan – Excellent airflow, honey-comb grill – Full range automatic. No voltage selection has to be set – Safety features such as: over-voltage and short-circuit protection – Complies to WEEE & RoHS environment directives   The Nexus VALUE 430... a sensible choice!     Connectors – 20+4-pin motherboard connector – PCI-Express connector 6+2-pin – PCI-Express connector 6-pin – 4 x SATA connector – 8-pin 4+4-pin – 6 x Molex 4-pin connector – 1 x Floppy connector   More About the Value 320 Nexus power supplies are designed to provide your PC stable and efficient power to guarantee perfect PC performance. Yet Nexus has set everything to work to make these power supplies the quietest in the market. By using thigh quality components and performing a 100% burn-in and functionality test, these power supplies are guaranteed to comply with our high standards. So we are proud to be able to say that Nexus power supplies have the lowest defective rate and are amongst the most reliable power supplies in the market Sleeved cables We want to keep things nice and tidy. Messy cables interfere too much with the airflow inside your PC and... it does not look very nice. So therefore we have sleeved all cables of this power supply with a black mesh. Nice clean and tidy. Active PFC circuit Power factor Correction (PFC) allows the power distribution system to operate at maximum efficiency. This does not so much influence your electricity bill but it will reduce energy consumption at the side of the power provider so it is contributing to using tour planets resources better and more carful. Active PFC is technically more complex then passive PFC and better matches the overall high quality standard of this Nexus power supply. Full range automatic This power supply can be used on 115VAC and 230VAC input power. Selection is automatically made so no voltage selection has to be set. Just plug and go.   Environmental Note This product has been created as eco-friendly as possible without compromising quality, silence and reliability. Packaging — the box is made of unbleached recycled paper. Lesser paint is used for the printing as the box has only 2 colors instead of a fully covering full color printing. Power supply — the power supply has a zinc chassis, which is lesser harmful to the environment in comparison to painted chassis or shiny nickel painted chassis. Furthermore this power supply has an 80% and higher efficiency level to minimize energy loss.
