Zalman is well known for
their commitment to quiet computing. Their CPU coolers are some of the
most high performance and quiet units out there. Their designs blend
unique craftsmanship and detail that could almost be mistaken for art. The
question is, how does this translate to power supplies?
Today we get a chance to find that out by checking out one of Zalman's latest
power supplies. This power supply known as the ZM600-HP is an ultra-quiet
power supply utilizing a unique internal heatsink design. It complies with
ATX12V Version 2.2, supports dual-core CPUs, and dual graphics cards. There are
also Four Independent +12VDC Outputs that power CPU, VGA, motherboard, and
peripheral components giving components a high level of stability.
Other noteworthy features of this power supply include sleeved modular cables
and an ultra quiet two ball bearing 120mm cooling fan. The unit is also rated at
600 watts and features a 3 year warranty.

Well, the unit looks good on paper, and there are some very cool features.
However, I prefer to pop this into a system and beat on it, but first, let's do
the visual inspection.
