My System Specs

Default

Shame they still use that terrible sleeving method. Those massive black plastic things make cable management so much more difficult. Why oh why couldn't they just use normal heatshrink?

As for the PowerCache...
Quote:
PowerCache™ is a technology that helps to stabilize the power output to CPU & video card. By adding a 2200µf capacitor at the end of the CPU and graphics cables, power can be delivered instantaneously where and when needed rather than from the power supply itself. For example, a 23A increase of demand from the CPU or GPU could cause a voltage drop of 1V causing a crash or reboot. With PowerCache™, the voltage drop will be just 0.2V, keeping the system running and stable.
Interesting concept, but it adds quite a bit of bulk to the CPU and PCIE cables.
