Tier C+ Power Supplies

↪ Notes: Though a sleeve bearing fan is used, 1st Player backs it up with a 7-year warranty.

↪ Notes: 650W is technically rated Cybenetics Silver

↪ Notes: 750W is technically rated Cybenetics Silver

↪ Notes: Read note regarding input range. Despite markings on the DC-DC daughterboard indicating CWT GPU, internal shots confirm CWT GPX.

↪ Notes: Read note regarding input range. Mid quality fan; Same Martech "FDB" fan on the MSI A-GL series.

↪ Notes: Updated H6

↪ Notes: 2 year warranty; No OTP claimed, but platform is otherwise reasonably capable.

↪ Notes: 2 year warranty; platform is otherwise reasonably capable.

↪ Notes: 2 year warranty; platform is otherwise reasonably capable.

↪ Notes: Grey label

↪ Notes: Grey label

↪ Notes: Sleeve bearing fan. Meets all other requirements for A tier.

↪ Notes: Good electrical performance for the category, decent component quality, protections are set reasonably.

↪ Notes: Single EPS cable. Great electrical performance but OTP is not claimed.

↪ Notes: Decent electrical performance let down by poor transient response, a sleeve bearing fan, and other miscellaneous problems.

↪ Notes: Uncommon and possibly limited to the Australian market?

↪ Notes: No OTP claimed.

↪ Notes: The OCP triggering points on the minor rails should be reduced. Some components, especially on the secondary side, are of questionable quality.

↪ Notes: Various issues including low PF, poor excursion response, and terrible vampire power suppression. OCP is set sky-high on the minor rails.

↪ Notes: Numerous minor issues, failed ATX 3.0 transient response testing, poor build quality.

↪ Notes: Sleeve bearing fan, no OTP supported/claimed.

↪ Notes: OTP either not present or set too high per Aris' review. Out-of-spec 3.3V transient response (7%).

↪ Notes: Low quality sleeve bearing fan, and only a 2 year manufacturer warranty.

↪ Notes: Low quality sleeve bearing fan, 85C caps, and only a 2 year manufacturer warranty.

↪ Notes: OTP isn't claimed despite the fact that the supervisor IC might support it

↪ Notes: OTP isn't claimed despite the fact that the supervisor IC might support it, nearly identical internally to the original Gamma

↪ Notes: A few samples of the base platform died when subjected to sub-90VAC stress tests per JonnyGuru.

↪ Notes: Doesn't quite exhibit the same behavior in such torture testing as the 1200W model.

↪ Notes: GX but non-modular

↪ Notes: GX but semi-modular

↪ Notes: Sleeve bearing fan, 3.3V rail is subpar in transient testing, fan profile is aggressive and very loud when pushed. Source: Aris

↪ Notes: OTP isn't claimed, IC doesn't support it either

↪ Notes: Semi-modular version of the G12 GC (Global)

↪ Notes: Failed 3.3V transient response (although by 0.02V), 5V OCP needs tuning. Rifle bearing fan. Decent electrical performance.

↪ Notes: Protechnic Electric sleeve bearing fan.

↪ Notes: OTP either set over 200C or not present; extremely loud (over 42dbA) under full load, and mediocre performance all around.

↪ Notes: A few samples of the base platform died when subjected to sub-90VAC stress tests per JonnyGuru. Proceed with caution under 120VAC, especially in areas prone to brownouts.

↪ Notes: OTP either set over 200C or not present.

↪ Notes: No OTP and OCP (12V) present; low hold-up time (out of spec); poor soldering quality.

↪ Notes: Be wary of 2024 CE-Link variant! GX1 costdown. If CWT based, 588W on 12V output for 600W.

↪ Notes: No proper transient testing, too old.

↪ Notes: OTP works on the 1200W model, however the 5VSB OCP is so out of tune, ripple suppression exceeds 100mV.
