XG Magnum External 600w PSU (Page 1 of 5 )
There has been a market for some time now for external components. External CD and DVD drives, external USB devices, external hard drives; the list goes on and on. When I was given the opportunity to review the XG Magnum External 600w power supply, I wasn’t sure what to think. An external power supply?
When I sat and thought about it some more, it started to make a little more sense. One of the hottest components inside your computer is your power supply. I mean, if you think about it, if you take the actual mechanical part of the PSU and move it outside your machine, you can instantly lower the heat inside your PC by 20 percent or more.
In addition to the heat savings, there is also the space factor. Inside your machine, you no longer have a bulky PSU to work around (not a problem in some cases). This can make life a lot easier when working inside a confined space.
So let's take a look at the specs for this bad boy.
