The Korean manufacturer Zalman not only produces the well-known coolers and housings, but also modern power supplies. As with many other products, the brand combines high quality workmanship, fair prices and cool looks. The EBT series is clearly aimed at PC gamers and modders who demand the most from their hardware. Even at first glance, the large 135-millimeter fan of the Zalman power supply unit attracts attention. The fan size not only benefits the optics, but also the volume, as larger fans at the same speed convey far more air.
Power supplies with eye-catching looks are always suspected of being blenders. Zalman counters this prejudice with the ZM-EBT and installs efficient and efficient technology. The 80 PLUS Gold Certificate promises maximum efficiency of up to 92 percent. In addition, the ZM-EBT power supplies also meet the latest standards, including ATX12V 2.4, EPS12V 2.92 and ErP Direction 2013.
Away from efficiency, Zalman is investing in electrical performance and voltage quality. The ZM750-EBT with 750 watts rated power offered here can be permanently charged with 750 watts, even at up to 40 degrees ambient temperature. Thanks to a modern circuit with DC-DC voltage regulation, the ZM750-EBT with just under 750 watts can deliver about 99 percent of its rated power on the + 12-volt rail, making it the perfect partner for state-of-the-art processors and graphics cards. The +3.3 and +5 volt rails together allow 130 watts - more than enough for drives and small consumers.
In order to make use of this capability also in real systems Zalman installed sufficient connections: In addition to the obligatory 20 + 4-pin (500 centimeters cable length) for the motherboard and the 4 + 4-Pin-CPU connection (65 cm) brings the powerful Zalman Power Supply in the 650 Watt Version Full Suitability for Dual SLI and Crossfire: Four 6 + 2-pin PCIe plugs provide ample opportunity to connect graphics cards of the performance or high-end class. For the other components, eight SATA, six 4-pin Molex and a floppy connector are provided. The Zalman ZM750-EBT can therefore distinguish itself by its appearance, modern technology and the many long connections from the competition.
