120mm Fan	Specs	Honeycomb vents

    The exterior of the Element ST50EF-PLUS SC power supply is colored in a matte black finish. A large 120mm opening for the fan is covered with a black fan grill, giving everything a stealthy look. The side panels have small vent slots towards the top, while the back panel is covered in small honeycombed vent holes.

Cables:

20+4 pin	4+4 12v plug	Dual PCI-E
2x SATA plugs	6x Molex plugs	1x FDD plug

    The SC in the title name of this power supply stands for short-cable edition. The cables on this power supply are much shorter than standard power supplies, and is meant to be used in small form factor enclosures like the SG01 Evolution.

    Cable lengths are as follows: 20+4 pin motherboard power connection and ATX 12v 4+4pin plug are 11.8". The two PCI-E cables are 15" in length. One cable with two SATA plugs, two cables with three Molex plugs are 11.8" to the first plug, then 3" to the next plug in that cable.

Interior:

120mm ADDA fan

3 heatsinks

Wire connections

    Three separate heatsinks are used throughout the interior of the power supply, just under the 120mm fan. The 120mm fan spins at a slower speed, which keeps the noise level down. Two +12v rails can handle a load of up to 18 amps. SST claims an efficiency rating of over 80% with a power load of 20-100%, so with a idle system this power supply won't be wasting power.

     The Nitrogon NT06-Lite is identical to the the NT06, just minus the 120mm fan blowing across the fins. The heatsink is constructed from copper and aluminum and uses the heatpipe technology. The base of the NT06-Lite is made up of three layers consisting of a copper base, then the three heatpipes, and to top things off are black powder-coated aluminum fins. This combination sandwiches the heatpipes between the upper and lower levels to provide a positive contact against the materials.

3 Layers	Plastic over copper	Shiny and Smooth

    The three heatpipes are formed into a U shape that go from the base to the radiator fins. 66 fins make up the cooling area for the Nitrogon NT06-Lite. A black fan shroud is included with the heatsink, which allows the end user to add an 120mm fan to the NT06-Lite if space permits in an enclosure.
