Hello there unboxers!
This is Sakis Karpas from GameOver.gr in another episode of Unboxholics!
Today we will take a look at Tesla R2 (White Edition) of Fractal Design.
Fractal Design makes its debut in the Greek market with this product and we're really happy to be able to share this moment with you.
Tesla R2 is a 650w power supply unit that meets the 80 PLUS® Gold specification, which means that it provides power with an efficiency that produces positive environmental impact, as well as reduced electricity bills.
The reduced cost of electricity bills is probably one of the main reasons that someone would like to buy a Tesla R2 PSU.
Tesla R2 ships with 3 years warranty and it supports SLI and CrossFireX.
However, SLI and CrossFireX work better with a 800w PSU.
Tesla R2 is available in two colors: Black and White (We have the white version in our hands)
We haven't seen such a detailed retail box in other PSUs in a long time now, so kudos to Fractal Design!
The first thing we find inside is a quick start up guide.
Moreover, deeper inside we find 6 zip ties for enhanced cable management and a small bag with the required screws.
Of course, a power adapter cable could not be missing from the package contents.
Let's take a closer look at the product!
A logo of Fractal Design along with the gold Tesla logo are displayed on the right side of the PSU.
As usual, on the back we find an A/C port along with an on/off button.
Also, Tesla R2 Series PSUs are equipped with a large, low-speed, 135 mm fan, which keeps noise level down.
The power specifications of the PSU can be found on its left side.
The iconic Fractal Design snowflake decorates the top side of the PSU.
The 650W Tesla R2 is not a modular PSU which means that you can't disconnect unused cables.
The PSU includes: 1. Two cables with 3 SATA power connectors on each cable
2. Two Molex connectors and a Floppy Drive cable
3. An ATX 20+4 pins cable
4. An ATX12V/EPS12V 4+4 pins cable
5. A PCI-E 6+2 pins cable
The Tesla R2 650W PSU is available now with a price range of €90 to €115 depending on which shop you are going to choose to buy a Tesla R2 650W PSU.
The Tesla R2 Series have a wide range of PSUs in 500W, 800W and 1000W all with the 80 Plus Gold Certification.
In our opinion, the PSU is the most important aspect of a Personal Computer. Most people pay more attention to the software and other PC parts rather than a PSU.
However, all the parts of a computer must be powered reliably and with the right PSU. If we add the economic factor, then a PSU must be chosen wisely.
The Tesla R2 650W combines all that in a smart consumer package.
