Athena Computer Power Corp’s AP-U3ATX55P8 is the first 3U server PSU manufactured by Athena Power for IPC use.  This server power supply includes the Active PFC function and is rated at 80PLUS bronze certified efficiency.  Equipped with dual 40mm ball-bearing fans strategically placed on the rear and front of the power supply to exhaust generated heat from the core of the server/system the AP-U3ATX55P8 features a smart auto fan controller for heat solutions.  This smart auto fan controller will detect heat levels within the server/system and adjust the fan rotation accordingly helping reduce energy use and noise levels.  Maintaining their policy of “True Green Power” Athena Power has brought efficiency even to their new 3U server line.

Active PFC, Full Range, and You

The Active PFC and full range function provides a smarter PSU.  Able to detect the difference of wattage that is needed to power up your system you can be rest assured as it will provide and maintain the most suitable power needed for your system.

Dual Fan

With its dual fan features located at the front and back of the power supply the rear fan intakes the heat that is produced inside the server or system and pushes it through the front fan which is positioned towards the exit points of the server/system which keeps the motherboard and hard drives cool.  The design allows the power supply to be able to take 100% of the heat that is generated by the interior system and pushes it out of the server/system, while some other PSU fans work differently this dual fan design is targeted to maintain a reliable source of power and keeping the system cooled.  Some may second guess this dual fan feature because it will increase noise volumes but with its thermal fan speed controller it will detect the amount of heat generated by the server/system and spin accordingly.

Smart Auto Fan Speed Controller

Athena Power’s AP-U3ATX55P8 thermal fan speed controller will detect the amount of heat generated by the server/system and spin accordingly.  Using this controller to detect the heat levels of the PSU it will adjust the fan speed to maintain an optimum temperature, with this feature built in, worrying about the heat level of a PSU becomes almost non-existent.
