Page 2 of 4 Okay lets go through some of the details listed in the specs. Keeping up with current standards a 24pin motherboard connector is provided to support the extra power requirements by PCI Express cards. However if your mainboard only supports a 20pin connector, the 4 extra pins can be taken off.To reduce the static electricity generated by the PSU this unit comes with the gold pin earth or ground wire just like in a conventional home 3 pin power socket.
One 4+4 pin CPU power connector is provided to power a Dual socket CPU setup or a quad core single socket setup. So which ever setup you got, the TAGAN TG900-U33 is able to handle it. A single 4pin CPU power connector is provided as well in addition to the above. The TAGAN 2-Force II also comes with Internal OVP (Over Voltage Protection) and OCP (Over Current Protection) functions. These are features you wouldn’t see on normal PSU’s but are standard features on industrial grade PSU’s such as this one. OCP kicks in when the current in amps is greater than the rated current of the equipment it passes through, which can result in an overload or short circuit. With OCP if a situation as above occurs it’ll automatically cutoff the current protecting the components within. In addition to this the TAGAN 900-U33 comes with APFC (Active Power Factor Correction) a feature you’d expect to see in higher grade PSUs. APFC automatically corrects for AC input voltage, is capable of a full range of input voltage, and diminishes total harmonics making the power supply more efficient under normal load. The TAGAN 900-U33 900W also boasts an efficiency rating of 80% which is good. On any PSU efficiency goes down with heat buildup, however an 80% efficiency rating is currently the most you can expect from high end units.
