polymer capacitors, it provides high efficiency operation to generate less heat
than conventional power solutions and consequently achieve cool system
environment.

upgraded to a new four-engine version, which provides total system power
savings by detecting current PC loadings and intelligently moderating
power in real-time. The EPU automatically provides the most appropriate
power usage for the CPU, VGA card, hard drives, CPU fan, and chassis fan
