The Century Mini has exceptional specifications for an SFX PSU. A strong single +12V rail is the best choice for new computers and high-end graphics cards. The +12V rail is rated at 750W itself. Since the PSU is a high-efficiency unit, we expect it will handle two higher series graphics cards like a regular, large ATX unit.
The package and its contents
The package is a box, a bit smaller than a typical ATX one. It includes a power supply, modular cables, a user manual, screws, a power cord, and an SFX to ATX adapter. Simply, everything we need for the installation.
The package is well described, and we can find nearly full specifications printed on the outside. The PSU specifications are on both the box and the PSU itself.
The PSU itself is really small, but it has some weight. On the next page, you can see how tight everything is installed.
The Century Mini looks like some other, competitive SFX PSUs. Dimensions and everything else match the SFX standard so that we can install it in very small ITX cases. The exterior is painted black, and it seems to be scratch-resistant. Of course, there are limits, but at least after installation, there won’t be anything visible.
The design isn’t really flashy, so that it will fit every PC theme. The only thing which is really catching the eye is the Century Mini sign and the yellow specifications table on the other side of the PSU.
The cables are long and flat what helps in installation and later in airflow. It’s crucial in small ITX builds.
The 20+4 pin cable is about 30cm long while all other cables are about 40cm long. It’s perfect for most computers and can be even a bit too long for smaller builds. I think that only Corsair offers shorter cables in popular series SFX PSUs. All cables are using 18AWG-class wires which is pretty good.
One more thing that I wish to see is braided cables. As long as flat, black cables look good and are already better than standard ones, I feel like a high-end gaming/enthusiast series PSU should have braided cables. Again, I think that only Corsair sells SFX PSUs with braided modular cables, but their products cost significantly more.
On the next page, we will take a closer look at the PSU and its performance.
