| [* black] Moving along to a box within the box, we lift the power supply away from the main assembly. | |
| [* black] This PSU's primary rail outputs up to 21.25 amps at 12 volts, which equates to 255 juicy watts. | |
| [* icon_note] Add the peripheral 60W output, and you get a total of 315 watts. That's quite a bit higher than the [guide|99609|One X|new_window=true]'s 245-watt power supply, but still less than the optical-drive-having PS5's 350-watt unit. | |
| [* icon_reminder] Why does the PS5 have a significantly beefier PSU? Check back in a short while for our [guide|138280|PS5 teardown|new_window=true] to find out! | |
| - | [* black] Overall this is a compact, high-quality power supply—no obvious corners cut to save costs. (Although it does warn you to operate it [https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/IQNY4fQitbqpx61n.full|below 2,000m|new_window=true]—so maybe don't take it to Santa Fe, NM.) |
| + | [* black] How well does this power brick stack with its contemporaries? We asked power adapter expert [http://www.righto.com/|Ken Shiriff of Righto.com|new_window=true]: |
| + | [* black] ''Overall, it looks like a compact, high-quality power supply. They're not cutting corners to save costs. That said, the power supply doesn't reach Apple's level of density and complexity.'' |
| + | [* black] The power supply uses pricier but longer-lasting polymer capacitors instead of electrolytic ones to filter the 12V output. |
