Xclio, a unfamiliar name to me, has sent over one of their latest power supplies for review. The Xclio Stable Power 500W unit boasts features normally found in higher end power supplies (such as 80% efficiency and active PFC), while it also lacks some of the more basic features of high end units (such as cable wrapping). The bottom line is that if it provides good clean power, then it would be a worthy addition to your system. Let's take a look at it and see how it holds up under testing.


Before taking a look at the power supply provided for review, let's look at some published data as provided by the Xclio website...
