The Fan
The Odin series has a 13.5cm fan installed which is almost as wide as the power supply itself. With its size it can provide direct airflow to almost any point inside of the housing, though much of the airflow is still blocked by the heatsinks. The larger size also provides for more airflow at lower RPMs, potentially reducing the amount of noise the PSU will generate. We'll look into this more during actual testing.

Did you find any issues with the modular design? Obviously the efficiency was good. Could anything else have been affected by the additional connection point?Christoph Katzer - Tuesday, July 24, 2007 - link
I am in the midle of testing that with other models. I will write something which will bring light in this in matter...
