When you are building or upgrading your computer keep in mind that the power supply can be considered as 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 more 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.
Space saving
The Nexus Value 430 is an ATX form factor power supply and it will fit in any ATX form factor computer case. We have only 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 than modular power supplies.
Nexus Value 430: a great but smaller PSU!
Noise level
By carefully selecting each and every component we aim at creating the best possible mix of components to make our power supplies as silent as possible. We carefully balance performance and noise level to get the best of both worlds. We confident that our power supplies are leading the market when it comes to solid performance at the lowest possible noise level.
We test the noise level of our 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.
Efficiency
We aim to use the electricity from your wall outlet as efficient as possible. The Value 430 is guaranteed 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.
