Slimline PSUs!!

Do Slimline PSUs of 450 Watt perform At same Level as Standard Sized PSUs Of same Wattage Do???

And Why They Are So Costly Than there Standard Sized Counterparts Having Same Wattage???

If they are of a reputable brand and quality they will perform the same and at the rated wattage it specifies. As for the cost they are not a common standard and used on OEM system more than anything else compared to the more common ATX or even SFX size.

depends

They are supposed to perform just as well, they cost more because they are more compact and that costs the manufacturers more money than standard size PSUs.

Slimline meaning which actual standard/size? SFX? Standard 1U form factor?

 

With 1U there's so little space there's generally not going to be as much filtering (not enough room for as many components) and you generally will not get the same level of electrical performance as an enthusiast ATX PSU. Though performance far within spec is readily possible. Also it tends to be a different market, which cares less about those things. Obviously you'll be able to find different power supplies of non-ATX form factors that outperform a lot of ATX units.

 

By "performance" I mean voltage regulation, noise/ripple levels, etc. of the power supply across the range of operation. It's not a reference to computing performance of the system.

 

I think pricing may have more to do with economies of scale, market forces, etc., than actual BOM and manufacturing costs, though that's just a guess. Maybe it needs more layers on the PCB? But it's a smaller PCB anyway, and with less components and lower size... I guess the manufacturing could be a little more involved.
