Arctic Cooling Fusion 550R Introduces Eco 80

Promising increased power stability at low noise levels, Arctic Cooling’s Fusion 550R also takes a step beyond 80-Plus efficiency with a new standard: Eco 80.

Arctic Cooling’s efforts result in a claimed 82-86% efficiency range using 99% Power Factor Correction, exceeding the 80-plus minimums of 80% and 90% respectively. Increased efficiency also allows lower fan speeds for reduced noise, which is further assisted via a blow-through exhaust fan mounted inside the case and rubber grommets which isolate vibration.
