NZXT is best known for its line of computer cases, but most many not know they also offer PSUs. Until now they haven’t released a new model since 2016. Now NZXT has announced a digital PSU line which offer real-time power monitoring and control through the company’s CAM software.
NZXT partnered with Seasonic, a long time manufacturer of PSUs, to build its new E Series. The company is touting the use of Japanese capacitors rated at 105C, along with 80 Plus Gold certification and fully modular cabling. They also have a digital signal processor (DSP) to provide real-time wattage indicators for the +12V rails.
These PSUs also use a special version of the Focus Plus Gold platform, which features a digital interface courtesy of a Texas Instruments DSP. The platform’s main functions still use analogue controllers, but thanks to the digital interface, you can monitor all rails and track total power-on time. There is also software over current protection on all three 12V outputs, with adjustable thresholds for the EPS and PCIe connectors.
