Spire, makers of everything from coolers of every size and shape to cases to some modding supplies. They also market their own line of PSUs under the Rocketeer nomenclature and today thats what Im taking a look at, a Spire Rocketeer IV model SP-ATX...
The Spire Rocketeer is basically an also ran. Its got the goods to be called a 450W PSU but by no means is it a reliable 600W unit. Its better than bundled PSUs but thats about it, its not really worth consideration for a serious gaming PC. When...

Again a new manufacturer has started making high-end power supplies. This is a good thing for the consumers, but I cant help wondering the new direction. Few years ago no one seemed to care about the quality of their power supplies, no matter how top...

The SP-600W didnt succeed in the tests and some results are not even acceptable. There is too much ripple and at the minimum load the lines arent too stable either. Although with more load the SP-600W performs better. Results arent good for a High-...

And now, we reach the end of yet another review here at Overclockers Online. The Spire RocKeteer SP-600W is a fairly well rounded power supply. While its performance isn?t mind boggling or extraordinary, it does hold very well and performs very, very w...

One of the biggest mistakes I see from people building their computer, is the lack of thought put into the power supply. It seems like its the last thing they buy and usually they just go buy the cheapest 450 or 500 watt power supply that they...

There are some things not to like about the Spire Rocketeer VI, but there are many things to like as well. To begin with the exterior, the general appearance of the unit and its cables is marvellous. Spire placed a great deal of attention in making th...
While testing the acoustic performance of the unit under thermal control mode, we found out that the unit would heat up even if not loaded to a high level. The unit was not warm until load was above 60% and only the rear fan of the unit was working...
The Spire Rocketeer VI is an excellent example of a high end power supply unit. It is modular, exceptionally attractive while powerful and quiet at the same time. The price of the unit will make it restrictive for OEM use, but we do not think that Spi...

In this day of power-hungry rigs, the Spire SP-600W Rocketeer IV more than fits the bill, with a respectable 20A on each of the two +12v rails. Its modular construction makes cable management a breeze. The shielded cables are not only functional, but a...

There seems to be a trend lately in the power supply industry, bigger and bigger. Do we need all that power really? Or is part of it for bragging rights of who has the bigger PSU? Spire is a company known for making quite a few different accessories fo...
