Cables and Connectors
The front features the cable management system with two PCI-E connectors, three jacks for harnesses with Molex connectors, and three jacks for harnesses with SATA connectors. This is necessary since the SATA harnesses need additional 3.3V rails for modern hard drives.
There are several harnesses already connected to the power supply and more can be attached if needed. The main harnesses such as 24-pin, 4-pin, 8-pin and two 6-pin PEG connectors are already pre-installed. There is also one harness each for SATA and Molex connectors fixed to the power supply. The user can add two more 6-pin PEG connectors and three harnesses each of SATA and Molex connectors. The total makes a very nice sum of connectors on disposal for the user. Both the 850W and 1000W unit have the same number of connectors and same length of harnesses. This again raises the question of whether the 1000W unit is really necessary.
The Fan
Zalman installed a very large 140mm fan with double ball bearings. The fan is rated at 0.26A.

Maybe the "noise suppressor" feature wasn't working correctly. Is there any way for you to query Zalman about it? Seems like a neat feature to include if it worked.JonnyDough - Sunday, June 29, 2008 - link
Maybe the label was just upside down? Can we test this theory somehow like maybe try the Rubik's Cube trick to see if it helps? :-)
