Antec NSK6500 Mid Tower Review

The Power Supply:

     Lets take a closer look at the included power supply.  Antec has chosen a SU-430 power supply to complement this case.  The choice of a 430 Watt power supply is nice when many manufacturers are still including throw away units at 350 W or less.  But the SU-430 is still a pretty basic power supply.

AC Input            
100 - 240V/7Amps; 50Hz - 60 Hz  
DC Output + 5V + 12V + 12V + 3.3V - 12V - 3.3V
Max 25A 16A 16A 25A 0.8A 2A
Min 0.3A 1A 1A 0.5A 0A 0A
+ 3.3,  + 5V max. load:130 Watts; +12 V max. load: 372 Watts

     As you can see from this reproduction of the label, the SU-430 offers two + 12V rails and enough wattage to support most standard builds.  The SU-430 has power runs to support: 20/24 pin main board power, 4 pin main board power, 2 x SATA power, 6 x + 12V Molex power, 1 x Floppy drive power and 1 x PCI-E power.  This power supply also supports Active PFC (Power Factor Correction).  Lets find out how well this power supply will handle a gaming build.
