Lower Power Consumption, Fewer Heat Emission
RDS (on) MOSFET is commonly used in electronics, and selected 2.8 ~ 1.4 mini-ohm grade. Hydro X is designed touse very low RDS (on) MOSFET, 0.85 mini-ohm for 550W/650W and 1.2 mini-ohm for 450W PSU, which is different from others, to reduce power loss and cool down component for reliability.

Extremely Tight Voltage Regulation
Custom VR(Variable Resistor) design to control the balanced point of +12V rail to make sure the output voltage regulation is under +/- 1% under any load change.
