The Eurocom 780W AC Power Adapter Review: Big Power For Big Laptops
by E. Fylladitakis on April 22, 2024 9:00 AM EST - Posted in - Cases/Cooling/PSUs - Eurocom While desktop PC power supplies receive the bulk of enthusiasts’ attention for good reasons – not the least of which being the vast selection of options that comes from being a standardized part – power supplies as a whole aren’t just a concern for big PCs.
Opening up the chassis, we can see that the Eurocom 780W AC adapter is not unlike common PC PSUs – just less complex due to the need to only generate a single 20V rail. Then we have an APFC circuitry with a massive Aishi 450V/560μF capacitor and a large filtering coil being its passive components, with a Toshiba K31N60W regulator on the same heatsink as the two MOSFETs that form a typical half-bridge configuration. But as a premium-priced product – a complete unit and cable will set you back at least$429 – it could benefit from a touch more finesse, particularly in terms of user safety and operational noise at high loads.
