Seems the bridge rectifier doesn't need a heatsink.

I have in mind the EVGA-W1 saga

That is probably not the best unit to draw such conclusion from

Good point, but I still want to figure out if the bridge rectifier really needs a dedicated heatsink.

For example, some stand alone-diodes are rated for 6A, which means that 4 of these (for a bridge) might be able to handle over a kW even if the mains dropped to 100V; there are even 10A versions suitable for rectifying mains AC.

It might be argued that the all-in-one bridge rectifier has four leads through which to dump heat, while the discrete version has twice as many leads.

Totally feel free to pimp your own shit....

This thing is the closest to a gutless wonder without actually being one. Mostly saved by the guise of it not going boom.

so this is 550w psu or 250w psu ?
I don't see load test on 550w

There might be a reason for that if you.....IDK.....read the review.

1 x 6-pin pci-e connector. I guess they dont even have faith in making it an 8-pin.
