Picked up this 420W Supermicro/Ablecom power supply for $9.20 on ebay. Another 3Y power unit, but this time it also has a API (AcBel Polytech Inc.) part number. Possible confirmation that 3Y contracts AcBel to make these units?
Very nice power supply for only $9.20, through a seller named lanaccc. Second psu bought from them, they typically sell the really nice OEM power supplies like delta and supermicro for extremely cheap then the crappy deer made power supplies expensive thinking they are nice gaming power supplies. APFC, pretty good caps to boot as well as dual fans with some interesting protection features. A LED on the back warns you of overtemp and of failing fans. The buzzer reset button resets the power supply after any sort of protection kicks in. Tested it by shorting the 12v, immediately turned off, and let out a continual "beeeeeeep" until I hit the reset, and it turned right back on.
Lets start out with a overall look:
This unit uses group regulation and employs CEC international and UCC caps for the secondary. 2 10v, 4700uf CEC's on both the 5v and 3.3v, and the 12v uses 2 16v, 3300uf UCC's.
Now, here is what I was talking about, on the side of the primary Hitachi 220uf, 450v cap is the label saying the 3Y part number, as well as the API part number.
Fans are temp controlled, as in one fan runs full blast until a certain temp then the back one kicks in. By the way, the rear fan is a Nidec, the temp controlled fan is a evercool. I believe this wire may be something you plug into a supermicro motherboard to control the fan speeds and monitor them.
This is the buzzer board with all the protections, and apparently fan controller board also, as both fans are plugged into it.
And there is the buzzer reset and warning light.
