Introduction

Introduction to the Tagan TG480-U01

One of the most overlooked components during a PC build is often the power supply, neglected as one of those items that should just 'work'. The sad truth of the matter is, all power supply units are not created equal.

Tagan have released the new TG480-U01 as a high end PSU, aiming to quench the thirst for power in even the mightiest of systems.

Included Items

Items included in the box

Included Items

• User Manual
• 5 x Screws
• Power Cable
• 2 zip ties
• 5 velcro ties

Although this seems like a basic bundle to be included with a component, this is much more than is often included in such a unit. The velcro cable ties are especially helpful for laying a neat cable path around the inside of the case, and easier to relocate than the more permanent zip ties.
