The manufacturer Lian Li It has always stood out for its innovation, sometimes for the worse, as with its extravagantly designed boxes, and sometimes for the better (or very well), as is the case that we are going to tell you about now. The manufacturer presented its new power supplies Edge Lian Liwhich are distinguished by the fact that they twisted connectors and on the ground to connect them more comfortably, in addition to having a hub for removable USB and PWM devices. As soon as you see the images you will understand what we are talking about…
The truth is that when you're working on assembling a PC, it's almost always connecting and routing the power cables that requires the most effort and work, especially in compact cases. However, with these new power supplies from Lian Li, these problems and drawbacks will be solved in one fell swoop.
Lian Li's new fonts are the way forward
Leaving the technical specifications for the end, the most remarkable thing about these new Lian Li Edge Gold sources is undoubtedly their design, since the connectors for the modular cables are not inside but the manufacturer has arranged them on the ground, so we are going to connect the cables vertically instead of horizontally, and believe us when we tell you that this makes it much more comfortable, especially in small boxes where you have practically no room to reach the connectors of the low and where you sometimes have to connect the modular cables before screwing in the source itself because otherwise it is impossible.
Apart from this, on the side where the connectors for modular cables are usually located, we find a removable USB/PWM hub that we can also leave there on the power supply or place it inside the PC case using an 8-pin PCIe interface. It offers four USB 2.0 connectors for up to eight additional USB ports with 2.5 A total, as well as 6 4-pin PWM fan connectors supporting 2 A each.
Additionally, this hub joins the Lian Li Wireless ecosystem (in case you didn't know, they recently launched fans with LCD screens that work wirelessly, connecting to a USB hub), with powerful magnets for make it easy to mount anywhere in the house. . Of course, it is only included in the 1200 and 1000 watt power models, although it is also sold separately.
For the rest, these are certified power supplies Gold 80More / Cybenetics Gold, are ATX 3.1 / PCIe 5.1 compliant and are offered in wattages of 750, 850, 1000 and 1200 watts, in white and black variants. Of course, they have all the protections needed in a power supply, a quiet hybrid fan including the not-so-new 12VHPWR connector, and plenty of connectors for any modern PC.
The manufacturer has stated that this entire range is covered by a 10 year warranty (so as they always say, you have to be very, very sure of the quality of your product) and it is launched on the market today, the 3 January. 2025, although what they haven't said is at what price they will arrive in stores.
