Tier C+ Power Supplies

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

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

↪ Notes: Detiered only due to specified input voltage. Good performance otherwise.

↪ 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: No 12V-2x6; only one 8-pin PCIe connector.

↪ Notes: Poor 3.3V transient response, good ripple suppression.

↪ Notes: 2 year warranty; No OTP claimed, but 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: The OCP triggering points need to be reduced substantially on the minor rails, especially 5VSB, where it allows for ripple to get out of control. Some components are of questionable quality. The fan is falsely advertised as FDB, but actually uses a rifle bearing.

↪ 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.
