INTRODUCTION

   The recent release of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070/4080 Super graphics cards was an overall success with initial stock almost completely gone in just 2 weeks’ time. As expected, many consumers chose to accompany one of these cards with a brand new PCIe 5.0 & ATX 3.0 power supply unit but if you happen to be among those who still have it on their to do list you may actually have more models to choose from soon. Apexgaming may not be the very first name to come up when talking about power supply units but their mother company Solytech has been doing this for many years now and today with me i have their latest top of the line model, the ODIN POWER 1650W.

The 1650W variant which i have here with me comes ready with two +12VHPWR 600W and eight 6+2 pin PCIe power cables and sports a single powerful +12V rail (137.5A) capable of delivering 100% of the units’ total power output (1650W), peak power output of no less than 1798W (although once again according to ATX 3.0 specs peak should now be up to around 3.6KW for up to 100ms duration – not something i can check however), DC-DC design/topology, Full Bridge LLC resonant converter technology, active PFC, 100% Japanese capacitors and fan ECO mode with 0dBA function (fan starts spinning when load surpasses 50%). Finally, the new ODIN power supply units by Apexgaming are covered by a 12-year limited warranty and feature numerous electrical protections such as OVP (over-voltage), UVP (under-voltage), SCP (short-circuit), OPP (over-power), OCP (over-current) and OTP (over-temperature).
