"9 out of 10"

There have been silent power supplies before from companies such as PC Power and Cooling or Antec, but none have taken it to the level that MGE has, a full size copper heatpipe. This alone will extend the life of the PSU, heat is one of the primary killers of computer parts. Combine that with a decent fan to provide some ventilation and airflow and you have a killer combination.

It only leaves us to recommend this XG Magnum 500watt fanless, noiseless power supply for its quality of manufacture, design and well it works for us here and we give it our Editors Award for a fanless power supply. Another way to reduce the noise from computers.

This is a rock solid supply. Also the temperatures only went up after the overclocked load test. This is a good indication about how efficient the powersupply is.

The Magnum is an awesome power supply to work with. It is a really fantastic looking piece of engineering, as well as being a rock-solid performer. Voltages stayed extremely stable and well within tolerances, even under load conditions. The Magnum also lived up to its ultra-silent introduction, and remains worthy of its CES2005 Award for Superior Silence!

Case Mod God
The XG Magnum is a nice Power Supply with Heat pipe cooling & Modular connections. It averages about 42c in the system and thats not too bad. All XG power Supply's come with a Lifetime Warranty, kind of hard to beat a warranty like that.

"The Magnum is the first PSU I have ever seen with this kind of quality heatsinks inside. The huge copper heatsinks with a heatpipe going outside of the unit is amazing, and I hope more companies work to improve on their heatsink design to use bigger and better heatsink designs."

"he XG Magnum is a sleek looking psu that is sure to add that extra touch to most cases."

The unit is designed for maximum air flow over the heatsink following the typically style of silent/fanless power supplies, with a radiator block that extends the units heatsink outside of the case for heat dissipation to the cooler air outside of the computer.

This is the first company I have seen ever do this to their power supply! The display shows three major items: power working temperature with alarm, wattage output and 12V output monitor display.

"If your in the market to spice up your rig a bit this is the kit to get. We rate this product a 9/10 and award it the AtGamers.net Silver Gear Award. "

"Wanna give your computer case a nice look? Want to make it stand out of the crowd? The XG Extreme Mod Kit, is a modding kit for "new-age" computer cases.."
