Turbo Cool 510 Deluxe "Beautiful Beast" PSU Review

Model:  510ATX-Deluxe

Manufacturer:  Turbo Cool

Provider:  PC Power & Cooling

Reviewed By:  Miguel

Review Date:  02/05/04

 

 

     I can't begin to stress just how important the Power Supply is when building your own high performance system. The overall quality and stability of your Power Supply is vital to the increasingly power hungry components.  PC Power & Cooling is quite eminent on the subject and is why they have been offering PC Enthusiasts with only the highest quality Power Supply Units money can buy.  Nowadays, however, looks are just as important as performance for many case modders and enthusiasts. That is where the Turbo Cool 510 Deluxe comes in. Hence its Nick Name "Beautiful Beast", this highly attractive PSU offers a well-balanced combination of performance, reliability and beauty.

The Turbo Cool 510 Deluxe comes in an attractive black matte outer shell.  The rear of the unit features an on/off switch and sports a black 80mm fan with a black grill to match its overall theme.  There is no fan on the front of the unit but there are vent holes in place.  Speaking of holes, the unit has special holes located both on the top (near label) and sides of the unit that are there to easily gain access to the potentiometer controls for those who would like to tweak or make adjustments to the voltages.

To match the full black housing and grill of this PSU, a black mesh is used on all cables.  Overall, the sleeves are nice and tight and finished with some black heatshrink tubing.  A very nice job is done on the cables.  Sleeved cables eliminate unwanted cable clutter and significantly improves the overall appearance of the system.  They are all nice and long and should provide enough clearance for all cases, including full towers.  Unlike a majority of Power Supplies in the market, the Turbo Cool 510 Deluxe includes two Serial ATA cables as well.  Considering the growing number of Serial ATA drives, I was quite pleased to see these.

There are a total of seven 4 pin Molex connectors, which should be plenty to satisfy even the most extreme users.  There is a 4 pin adapter included, providing a total of two floppy connectors if needed.
