Apevia introduced the MST series power supply, a compact unit designed for users building smaller form factor PCs who still need high efficiency. The launch matters because it brings 80 Plus Platinum certification to a 140mm chassis, allowing builders to save space without sacrificing power delivery standards. The design addresses the needs of compact PC builds that demand reliable and modern power delivery components.
Compact power supply targets small form factor builders with modern standards
The MST series adheres to the Intel ATX 3.1 specification, which ensures compatibility with the latest graphics cards. It includes a native 12V-2×6 connector, eliminating the need for adapters for modern GPUs. The unit uses a standard ATX form factor with dimensions of 140mm x 150mm x 86mm, making it significantly shorter than traditional 140mm deep power supplies.
Specifications
- Certification: 80 Plus Platinum
- Form Factor: ATX
- Dimensions: 140mm x 150mm x 86mm
- Fan Size: 120mm
- Fan Control: Smart Stop (0dB mode below 30% load at 25°C)
Internally, the power supply utilizes an Active PFC, LLC Resonant, Synchronous Rectification, and DC-DC architecture. This design supports full protection features including over-current, over-voltage, short-circuit, over-power, under-voltage, and over-temperature protection. The manufacturer specifies the use of all-Japanese capacitors to maintain stable performance under load.
The 120mm fan employs a Smart Stop feature that keeps the fan blades stationary when the load is below 30% at 25 degrees Celsius. This 0dB mode reduces noise during light computing tasks. The cables are flat and tinned copper, which improves airflow management in tight cases. The MST series is priced at 599 CNY (around $88.23), offering a cost-effective entry point for systems requiring high-efficiency power supplies.
