PSU Comparison_import

For small form-factor PC builds, choosing the correct size of your PC components can be challenging since the space inside your case can be limited. Sometimes very limited. And one of those components will be your power supply.

There are a total of four PSU form-factors: ATX, TFX, SFX, and SFX-L. SFX and SFX-L are the most compact forms of power supply and they're ideal for small form-factor cases. So, what’s the difference between SFX and SFX-L? The short answer is SFX-L PSUs are slightly longer in length than SFX PSUs. 30mm longer.
