Specifications
No wonder they call it RyanPower, it has some very nice top amperages, especially on the 3.3v line. Granted, it’s not the line which is stressed the most, but 30A on the 5V rail en 26A on the 12V rail is not bad either.
External/Internal Design
one carton box
one 20-pin ATX connector (24 pin at the PSU side)
two cables with three molex connectors
one cable with three molex connectors and one floppy connector
one 12VP4 cable
one molex cable with three SATA connectors
one cable which goes from two molex connectors to a PCI-X connector
one power cable
manual & screws
One cable with 4 fan connectors
The PCI-X connector is a nice bonus, but overall the cables are not of the best quality. The gasket that protects them sometimes breaks of after a while, which looks messy. The advantage of this thin gasket is that the cables are easy to bend, so easy to tuck away.
And tucking the cables away is necessary, unless you have exactly three hard drives and/or CD-ROM drives and a floppy. Why would you otherwise buy a mod-PSU? All connectors on the PSU are standard ones, so you can easily attach the fan in your top cover to it, something I missed on the Hyper Type-R unit.
Performance, deviation from standard rails
The RyanPower2 has an active PFC built-in, so power usage will be a lot lower than PSU’s without it. You'll see the results of that on the next page in the wattage chart.
The RyanPower2 is a recently priced, decent PSU which looks (with the exception of the removable cables) and performs like most quality Power Supplies out there.
