Specifications as taken from the Thermaltake website.

Features: -

• Oversized 14cm whisper-quiet ball bearing fan dramatically reduces overall PC noise, increase system thermal efficiency.
• Intelligent variable speed controlled fan automatically increases or decreases fan speed to adjust to different system loading.
• Modular cable sockets with blue LEDs backlight & five user-adjustable LED environmental lighting effects.
•  Active PFC (PF>0.9) reduces heat build-up and energy loss to promote a more stable and efficient power conversion.
• Robust and dedicated single +12V output provides superior performance under all types of system loading.
• Cable Management improves internal airflow by reducing cable clutter within PC to promote accelerated heat removal.
• Features dual 8-pin PCI-E & dual 6-pin PCI-E connectors to support latest Nvidia 2-way / 3-way SLI & AMD 2-way / 3-way CrossFire X technologies.

There are a few things that stand out on the Evo Blue 650’s list of features and they are the fan, which is 14cm so larger than normal so should hopefully be fairly quiet yet move a decent amount of air, it is also variable speed dependant on load so this will also help keep things as quiet as possible.

Also of note is single 12v rail, some argue this is better than multiple rails as it only overloads when the absolute max is taken from the power supplies 12v rail rather than say one of 4 12v rails, which today’s top end graphics cards could quite easily do.

The Evo Blue 650 is a modular power supply so you will only ever need to attach those cables you actually need, no looking for places to hide unused cables, a nice bonus.
Everything else is pretty much what you would hope / expect to find on a top quality power supply. All the usual safety features are there Over Power, Over Voltage, and Short-Circuit. As well as multiple graphics card power connections including the newer 8 way connectors.

For that added bling factor, which you will most likely either love or hate is the multi coloured leds effect on the fan and modular connectors, me I’ll wait till I have seen what they do before I decide to switch them off or not, assuming they can be switched off.

Finally we find the info most users are likely to be interested in, the power ratings of the voltage rails.

As mentioned the Evo Blue has a large single 12v rail which I personally prefer, all the other rails seem to be balanced nicely and comparable to the competitions similarly rated power supplies.

Let’s have a closer look at the Evo Blue 650w.
