Thanks for leading the way! How did you buy it?

 

[3lfk1ng]

That arrived really fast!
It looks super clean. What's on the backside, a heatsink?

 

[jeshikat]

Did it come with one of those customized power bricks?

A back plate, but I guess it works like a heatsink as well since there are thermal pads between the PCB and the backplate:

Yes it did!

Nice! Looking forward to the full writeup.

 

[Curiosity]

Looking forward to more info also, looks good so far!

Thanks! I guess I will rename this thread 'G-Unique PSU purchase tutorial and FAQ' and open another thread for my review

I just read through the updated 1st post and I really like what I am reading!

I myself have been frequenting Chiphell since ~2007. I've always loved their site for all the early news scoops they get and enjoy their members insatiable lust for SFF products. I don't understand Chinese so all I can do is enjoy looking at the pictures (cars, photography, figures, computers, etc etc) and hope that Google Translates at least 50% of the words correctly, haha.

I'm so glad you pulled the trigger to get your hands on one of these larger capacity G-Unique units. They are really beautiful products and I hope that by showcasing them on these forums, we can help make them a more widespread choice for SFF builds around the world. The single fact that they come in larger capacities with a modded PSU is a tremendous selling point.

On a side note, if you wouldn't mind, I could use your assistance in finding any translation mistakes that I might have made in the List of DC-ATX power supplies thread. I would really appreciate it. I want to make sure that I am correctly naming the products so they are easier to find.
If you see any mistakes, please let me know in that thread. In the just the few days time that the thread has been posted, we've already topped Taobao and Mini-box in search results.

I eagerly await the review. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I will continue on making update throughout this weekend and hopefully get all the benchmarking done
For the DC-ATX power supplies thread, I will be glad to help!

I'm doing some benchmarking and stress test with the PSU now. With a gtx 1070 + i7 6700, it passes 3D Mark 11 without any problem. I'm doing a 30 min FurMark stress test now to see if the PSU can handle a system under full load

 

[1461748123]

After 30min of FurMark and more than 2 hours of Overwatch on Epic graphics, the PSU is still working strong! The power brick is warm to the touch, but definitely not hot at all. The power connector, which is a gx16 connector in my case, is only slightly warm, which is pretty impressive to me because it wasn't design to handle such current (I ask Guryhwa to modify the connector for me, the default is a 8pin connector which won't have any overheat problems). The PSU itself isn't that hot as well, at least not uncomfortable to touch.

 

[3lfk1ng]

Very nice! Sounds like a winner.

 

[Ceros_X]

Isn't the 1070 and i7 naturally going to be below 300W? 150W for the gpu, 91W for CPU, etc?

 

[3lfk1ng]

Oh, most definitely but ideally you wouldn't want to skim near that 300w value.
All parts considered, his entire rig might only consume ~260 at peak but the efficiency levels would still be at an optimal rate.

 

[Curiosity]

That's great news to hear, this PSU is definitely on my radar now!

 

[1461748123]

I updated some benchmark results, I will consider those temps are pretty low!

will that 400w slim DC-ATX power supply fit inside the S4 mini?
