Zalman ZM600-HP Heatpipe Cooled 600w Modular Power Supply

Introduction:

Zalman Tech is a company that has grown into a worldwide leader in the PC cooling industry. From their silent water-cooling kits to their phenomenal CPU heatpipe air coolers to their quiet and powerful power supplies. When you hear Zalman, you think quiet quality.

Today I have for you another new product from Zalman Tech. This one's called the ZM600-HP. In a more specific term, it's the Zalman ZM600-HP Heatpipe Cooled 600w Modular Power Supply. It's a mouthful, but it's not an earful. This is their newest power supply which incorporates their vast heatpipe knowledge into the inside of a power supply.

Externally it looks like the previous Zalman power supplies, but it's got a few tricks up it's sleeve including more power (600w), a heatpipe on the inside, modular cable system, and a subtle blue glow when powered on. Let's take a closer look at what makes this Zalman ZM600-HP different.
