We decided to disassemble this power supply to see what it looks like inside, how it is designed, and what components are used. Please read our Anatomy of Switching Power Supplies tutorial to understand how a power supply works and to compare this power supply to others.

This page will be an overview, while in the following pages we will discuss the quality and ratings of the components used in detail. The printed circuit board of the StealthXStream 2 600 W seems to be identical to the one used by the original StealthXStream 600 W. The only difference we could see was the “name” of the design: the original StealthXStream 600 W is based on a printed circuit board labeled “FSP700-80GLC (NEW) REV: 1” (part number 3BS0110312GP), while the new StealthXStream 600 W is based on a printed circuit board labeled “FSP850-80GLN (REV1)” (part  number 3BS0224611GP). In the following pages we will see whether the components are the same or not.
