Nexus RX-6300 630W Power Supply Review

The RX-6300 represents the first time we have reviewed a power supply from Nexus and one of the few times we have seen an ATNG based unit. In the past, ATNG units have been very much mediocre in our testing but hardly what we would call bad units. Nexus on the other hand has a history of producing a range of high quality quiet cooling products.

Introduction

Nexus Technology BV was founded in 2000 as a company focused on quiet cooling for all manner of enthusiast needs. Typically, they have marketed fans, HSF’s, cooling accessories, and so on. However, they have also maintained a small line of power supplies which we are interested in today. Nexus branded power supplies have not been extremely high profile in the US to date, but with their recent announcement of power supplies ranging from 530W to 1100W that have an advertised noise profile around 15.5dBA they are sure to make a very quiet splash if they live up to this marketing. Today we are going to start off by looking at their current 630W modular unit the RX-6300 which is produced in conjunction with ATNG.

ATNG Power Co. LTD (I Horng Power Co. LTD.) is one of the larger providers of power supplies in various markets including the US and is fairly well known to many users. As a company ATNG has been in business since 1987 and currently has a production capacity of ~900,000 units a month. ATNG branded power supplies can be found under other brands such as Rosewill, older BFGTech models, Coolmax, StarTech.com, some ABS, the ATNG brand itself, and others. Typically ATNG power supplies have not been what most users have considered to be a premier product offering but with the increased competition in the power supply market of late ATNG has released a number of new products that are of great interest to us including today’s Nexus branded unit.

The RX-6300 represents the first time we have reviewed a power supply from Nexus and one of the few times we have seen an ATNG based unit.

As such, the RX-6300 presents us with a very interesting set of possibilities today that should be anything but ordinary. Before moving on to the testing though, what does Nexus want us to expect when we buy an RX-6300?
