500W to 550W: 12 Power Supplies Compared

Tagan SuperRock TG500-U33II - Overview

The Tagan SuperRock 400W performed so well in our last roundup that we asked Maxpoint to send us a 500W model as well. We didn't bother to take new pictures, as the two power supplies are virtually identical in appearance with just some minor changes to a few components. This is another Enhance power supply like the Akasa and BFG units, but without the venting holes on the interior. Tagan also utilizes a 120mm fan instead of the 140mm fan we see on other Enhance units.

The internals of the SuperRock look empty, as there aren't all that many components. The primary section has the standard PFC and transient filtering and looks quite good. Nippon Chemi-Con provides the primary capacitor, with Teapo caps in the secondary.
