Today we're looking at the NZXT HALE90 650W power supply, a unit that comes loaded with features all wrapped up in a new all white theme. But how well does it perform? Let's take a look.

Thanks, I think it would really look nice in an all-white case with a side window. Might look really nice in one of the newer all Red ones too.

Just a little note to the review, as I've purchased this NZXT 650W PSU and noticed a main difference to the model reviewed and the one in my hands..
The caps are Nippon Chemi-con, but my PSU has 105C rated KMM caps in the primary and KZE caps on the secondary.
So, the performance could be different, especially over time and in warm environments.. The 105C caps should hold up better with time.
So hopefully, the retail PSU's of this model should all ship with the 105C rated caps.

Awesome review Kip.650w modular with a 54 amp rail(nice).
It will support SLI OR CROSSFIRE on some cards but not the power hungry ones. Always beware of the amps a graphics card pull before SLI or crossfire.
