SFX(-L)-Netzteile mit Platinum-EffizienzNachdem Corsair bereits im Jahr 2017 das SF450 (Test) veröffentlicht hat, das mit der 80Plus-Gold-Zertifizierung alle anderen Netzteile der SFX-Klasse in den Schatten stellte, widmet sich der amerikanische...

Cette alimentation est tout simplement au top pour le format qu'elle propose. Elle en a sous le capot et son capot est tout en aluminium, elle consomme peu, elle est stable et elle ne fera jamais de bruit. Bref, une alimentation SFX de folie, mais qui...
