Installation:
I encountered no problems when installing the NX-8060 into my Silverstone KL02 case. Even with running the Nexus HOC-9000 cooler, I was still able to maneuver the power supply around it without having to pull the motherboard. Although I had my own, I wish they would include a power cable for users building their system from scratch.

Testing:
Before I start into my testing results, let me point out one technical specification of this power supply that I didn't cover earlier. It uses a quad +12V rail design with each rail maxing out at around 18 amps of load. As I've mentioned before in power supply reviews, this isn't a good design approach to take on a new high wattage power supply. With video cards like the Nvidia 8800GT drawing over 25 amps and the new 9800GX2 more than doubling that, some multiple rail designed power supplies can not keep up to those types of individual loads. Even though the power supply has the required wattage, each rail on it's own can not reach the highest output individually that is required to keep up to your entire system as well as any high-demand components like video cards. If you reduce the number of +12V rails to one or two, then each rail can withstand a higher amperage rating and power draw on their own. So although I like the NX-8060 so far, I can't recommend it to those building high performing systems with new high-end video cards. If you're building a high performing system but aren't going all-out on your video card and are sticking with a moderate card, or perhaps a silently cooled one, then this power supply would still be a great contender.

Testing System:
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4ghz @ Stock Speeds
Motherboard: Asus P5K-E WIFI-AP
Memory: 2x1gb Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 800mhz (4-4-4-12)
HDD: Western Digital 500GB SATAII
DVD+/-RW: Pioneer DVD-R212
Video: Asus EN7600GS Silent
Sound: Mackie Onyx Satellite Firewire Audio Interface
Power Supply: Nexus NX-8060 V2
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3

I will use my regular real world test on the Nexus NX-8060. The voltages will be recorded with the system in a full idle state and they will be compared to the voltages with the system in a 100% load state for a period of 30 minutes.

As you can see, the testing system used wasn't enough to even make the power supply substantially budge. The 0.01V changes on the three and five volt rails may be from the system load or may very easily be just a minor fluctuation. To really stress this power supply, you'd need a similar system but an increased number of hard drives and a significantly more powerful VGA card. This goes to show that most people go overboard with their power supplies when building a new system. Even a quad-core system like mine could easily operate on a good quality power supply lower than 500W and still not be fully pushing the supply. The advantage of using a slightly higher wattage power supply like the 650W NX-8060 is for reduced heat build up in the power supply and therefore quieter operation. By not loading up the power supply as much you aren't stressing it's internal components as much as they're designed to be. This means they'll be running cooler, which allows the fan to spin slower and leaves you with much quieter operation! After all, Nexus has shown us that they're really out here to make computing as silent as they can while still building fairly high performance products.

Now lets talk about the silence of this power supply itself. I'll say that it is fairly average, and where I'd expect a 120mm 80Plus power supply to perform. The fan was maybe slightly louder than the GlacialPower 650A fan, but when mounted in a computer case with the side panel installed, this became hard to distinguish. However, when fully installed I can still say that it was noticeably louder than the Seasonic S12II power supply I had been previously running; a power supply based on the same ADDA cooling fan. This all comes down to design though and can be attributed to many possible things. Since Nexus is still a fairly new name in the power supply market, I won't be too hard on them with this category. It leaves me excited to see where they will take things in the future with any upcoming models they may release.

Conclusion:
For still being a fairly new name in the computer power supply sector, I am very happy with the performance results of the new and improved Nexus NX-8060. Although we never had the opportunity to experience the revision one version, I can say that nothing on the revision two let me down. They have done a great job of building a solid modular power supply with exceptionally quiet and good performance behind it. This leaves me excited to see where they may take this power supply line in the future. Being a company that builds their products for silence, I can see them having a large concentration on tackling noise as one of their number one factors in upcoming models; only trying to build something quieter and quieter. Kudos on Nexus Tech on holding a strong entry in this power supply field, only having about 3 separate series' under their belt so far!

Pros:
80Plus Certification
Fairly quiet operation
Modular design helps keep case tidy for better airflow and component cooling
Performed well on my system

Cons:
Should have used fewer +12V rails, most companies are staying away from quad rail designs now
If this rail design is tackled, I think this supply could easily reach the lower noise levels of many competitors using the same ADDA model of fan

No included power cable?
