- Quantum ARGB Full Modular Power Supply
- User Manual (available in multiple languages)
Safety and Protection
WARNING: This unit has no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the casing presents a risk of electrocution and will void the product’s warranty. Oversteel will not be responsible for any result of improper use, including but not limited to, any use of the product outside of its intended purpose or use inconsistent with the warranty terms available online.
The Oversteel Quantum ARGB Full Modular Power Supply has the following standard protections:
- Over-voltage protection (OVP)
- Under-voltage protection (UVP)
- Short-circuit protection (SCP)
- Over Power Protection (OPP)
Over-voltage protection (OVP)
OVP shuts down the PSU in the event that the DC outputs exceed a set level,
determined by the PSU manufacturer. The minimum voltage levels required for
compliance are 13.4V for the +12V rail(s), 5.74V for the +5V rail and 3.76V
for the 3.3V rail.
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
UVP shuts down the PSU in the event that the DC outputs exceed a set level,
determined by the PSU manufacturer.
Short-circuit protection (SCP)
SCP ensures that the PSU shuts down should the 3.3V, 5V and 12V rails short
to any other rail, or to ground. It also ensures that no damage should occur
to the unit, or your PC’s components in the event of a short.
Over Power Protection (OPP)
OPP kicks in when the power pulled from a PSU exceeds its maximum rated
capacity. The OPP threshold is set to 50 to 100W (in some cases even more)
above the maximum rated wattage of the PSU.
Product Usage Instructions

Protection and Safety
WARNING: This unit unit has no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the casing presents a risk of electrocution and will void the product’s warranty. OVERSTEEL will not be responsible for any result of improper use, including but not limited to, any use of the product outside of its intended purpose or use inconsistent with the warranty terms available online.
Over-voltage protection (OVP)
Over-voltage protection for the 12V, 5V and 3.3V DC outputs is required to
comply with the ATX specification. OVP shuts down the PSU in the event that
the DC outputs exceed a set level, determined by the PSU manufacturer. The
minimum voltage levels required for compliance are 13.4V for the +12V rail(s),
5.74V for the +5V rail and 3.76V for the 3.3V rail.
Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
Under-voltage protection for the 12V, 5V and 3.3V DC outputs. UVP shuts
down the PSU in the event that the DC outputs exceed a set level, determined
by the PSU manufacturer.
Short-circuit protection (SCP)
A short-circuit is defined as any output impedance of less than 0.1 ohms.
Amongst other things, SCP ensures that the PSU shuts down should the 3.3V, 5V
and 12V rails short to any other rail, or to ground. It also ensures that no
damage should occur to the unit, or your PC’s components in the event of a
short.
Over Power Protection (OPP)
The over-power protection (OPP) kicks in when the power we pull from a PSU
exceeds its maximum rated capacity. Usually, the manufacturers give a little
room for overpowering the PSU, so the OPP threshold is set to 50 to 100W (in
some cases even more) above the maximum rated wattage of the PSU. In single
+12V rail PSUs, where OCP is meaningless in most cases, OPP takes over its
role and shuts down the PSU in case the +12V rail is overloaded.

Installation
Removing your existing power supply If you are building a new system, skip to Step B.
- Disconnect the AC power cord from your wall outlet or UPS and from the existing power supply.
- Disconnect all the power cables from your video card, motherboard and all other peripherals (SATA & MOLEX)
- Follow the directions in your chassis manual and uninstall your existing power supply.
- Proceed to Step B.
Installing power supply
-
Make sure the power supply’s AC power cable is not connected.
-
Follow the directions in your chassis manual and install the power supply with the screws provided.
-
The main 24-pin power cable has a detachable 4-pin mechanism in order to support either a 24-pin or a 20-pin socket on the motherboard.
A. If your motherboard has a 24-pin socket, you may connect the 24-pin main power cable from the power supply directly to your motherboard.
B. If your motherboard has a 20-pin socket, you must detach the four-pin cable from the 24-pin connector, and then plug the 20-pin cable onto your motherboard without connecting the four-pin connector. -
Connect the eight-pin +12V (EPS12V) cable to the motherboard.
A. If your motherboard has an eight-pin +12V socket, connect the eight-pin cable directly to your motherboard.
B. If your motherboard has a four-pin socket, detach the four-pin from the eight-pin cable, and then plug this four-pin cable directly to your motherboard.
