Installing the RockeTeer Power Supply

Now that we know all about the Speeze RockeTeer 600W power supply it is time to put it to work. We will be using one of our MVKTech systems to install the power supply and to run some power hungry tests on it. Our MVKTech rig is packed with several hard drives, memory modules to draw as much power from the power supply as much as possible. We will also be using a more powerful graphics card, namely a GeForce 7800 GS AGP from EVGA.

• ASUS P4P800 Deluxe Mainboard
• Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott) 3.0GHz CPU
• 1024MB Crucial Ballistix Dual Channel Memory
• 1024MB OCZ PC-3700 Gold Dual Channel Memory
• EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GS (G70) 256MB AGP
• 1x Maxtor Diamond Max 9 200GB IDE HDD (UDMA133)
• 2x Maxtor Diamond Max 9 120GB SATA HDD (Raid Config)
• 2x Maxtor Diamond Max 9 250GB SATA HDD (Raid Config)
• Plextor PX-130A DVD-ROM Drive
• Plextor PX-716A DVD+/-RW DL Drive
• Speeze RockeTeer 600W Power Supply
• Cooler Master ATC-200C Case

We just have to install the Speeze RockeTeer 600W power supply into our Cooler Master case and then we are good to go. So let's get that done first and then we can finally check how powerful this Speeze 600W PSU is and run some of our benchmark suites.

To start the installation I removed the previous power supply, namely the Zalman 460W noiseless power supply. And then I inserted the Speeze RockeTeer 600W. This is done quite easy and a straight forward process. Once fitted we can then start connecting the power cables of the various hardware components. I would also like to point out that the main power connector of the RockeTeer power supply comes sleeved which is a very nice feature.

Running several hard drives in a single system will prove we need a stable power supply which can handle the stress under heavy load. Our system is endowed with lots of peripherals and for that fact we needed just about every connector available. On top of that the new video card, supplied by EVGA will require a stable current on the 12V rail.
