Akasa Thermal Solutions

Introduction:

Akasa Thermal Solutions has developed a new power supply supporting the latest standards to meet the demands of the performance PC enthusiast. With Intel moving away from the traditional 20pin ATX connector in favor of a 24pin EPS (Entry-Level Power Supply Specification) connector, Akasa has included a converter and designed the PSU to meet these new Intel specifications. One other spec requirement is having dual 12v power rails, one rail dedicated for the CPU and one rail for the rest of the system devices.

The Akasa PaxPower 460w power supply has some wonderful features that give it excellent stability while running extremely quiet. Active PFC, Dual 12v rails, 120mm fan, quick release connectors, and a nickel black coating are some of the highlights of this PSU.
