1200W Power Supplies

↪ Notes: Updated R series

↪ Notes: OCP is set way higher than necessary on the 12V and 5VSB rails. Good noise profile given its capacity.

↪ Notes: Not to be confused with the Xigmatek Loki.

↪ Notes: Fan profile is extremely relaxed, OCP is set way too high on the minor rails, no FFP despite being an extremely expensive platform.

↪ Notes: OPP is set way higher than necessary and isn't reduced even under high operating temperatures. Very poor 200% excursion response.

↪ Notes: Multitude of minor issues leading to low overall performance, does not meet requirements for tier A in Aris' testing. Possible bad sample?

↪ Notes: Not to be confused with the downgraded non-modular Pure Power 12!

↪ Notes: Bridgeless PFC, very high component and build quality. OCP needs tuning on all rails. Excellent noise profile.

↪ Notes: Interleaved PFC; digital operation for primary, APFC and 12V; minor rails are analog.

↪ Notes: Semi-digital

↪ Notes: Extremely high build quality; made in Japan; decent performance.

↪ Notes: Has purple heatsinks for glam. Loose load regulation on 5VSB rail with middling 12V excursion response.

↪ Notes: Blue label. Tiering is based on electrical performance and should not preclude the usual caveats if buying used power supplies.

↪ Notes: Modular inputs on side of PSU rather than the rear. Use caution and check case clearances: see Jon Gerow's list of cases (archive)

↪ Notes: Gray label. Per-connector 40A OCP when multi rail is enabled

↪ Notes: Refresh with included 12V-2x6 cable and listed ATX 3.1 compliance. Actual design appears to be the same internally.

↪ Notes: Minor changes on the primary side, overall very similar; merely a refresh. Embossed cables instead of flat cables from older generations. (Fancy)

↪ Notes: Black label; China only

↪ Notes: 750/850W: 140mm, 1000/1200W: 150mm. 2023 version includes 12VHPWR cable. Early reports of coil whine and premature failures/DOAs, but supposedly fixed.

↪ Notes: Protections need tuning, 5VSB regulation doesn't quite qualify for A tier.

↪ Notes: 850W model can come in white.

↪ Notes: OCP is set way too high on the minor rails, which led to failure of the unit during Aris' testing. Detier to B- unless verified fixed.

↪ Notes: ATX 3.0 compliant; uses dual 8-pin to 12VHPWR.

↪ Notes: No performance data, however platform is well reviewed with protections working in similar configs.

↪ Notes: OCP originally set way too high; fixed in later reviews from July 2024. Excellent electrical performance. ATX 3.1 and ATX12VO compatible.

↪ Notes: 13 year warranty. 5VSB OCP still allows for extremely excessive ripple. Good performance otherwise.

↪ Notes: Transient response doesn't quite make it A tier, no direct protections testing.

↪ Notes: Solid electrical performance, however let down by poorly modulated protections and mediocre ripple performance.

↪ Notes: 850W has excellent noise graph.

↪ Notes: One EPS cable with two connections, transient response on the minor rails are very subpar, OCP needs tuning per Aris' testing.

↪ Notes: Identical to the PTM X Pro made for ATX 3.0 compliancy.

↪ Notes: Solid electrical performance (A tier) but nothing regarding protections has been tested. B+ until further notice.

↪ Notes: Doesn't claim SCP according to this review.

↪ Notes: Malfunctioning OCP on 3.3V, and transient response on 3.3V is out of spec, questionable choices of components.

↪ Notes: Protections need serious tuning; abundant amount of minute issues

↪ Notes: German bulk caps; dual-chamber L-shape design; modular inputs on the main PCB. 1000W and up models come with a USB/fan hub.

↪ Notes: Rotatable power outlet. 5VSB OCP is high. Includes a USB 2.0 hub.

↪ Notes: Excellent performance and noise profile. OPP and OCP on the minor rails need tuning. They do work but are set way higher than necessary.

↪ Notes: Protections need tuning and mediocre ATX 3.0 transient response; overall performance is dwarfed by the CWT-built Titan Gold.

↪ Notes: Available in black and white

↪ Notes: Dual system. Load regulation on 12V could be better.

↪ Notes: Overall good performance, uses a YL rifle-bearing fan.

↪ Notes: OTP is set over >200C (doesn't function as intended). 850/1000W might not be similar to the 1200W.

↪ Notes: Semi-digital, Razer Chroma integration with other Razer products.

↪ Notes: Very high ripple on the 12V rail for a unit of this caliber.

↪ Notes: Claims OTP but not tested in Aris' review, B+ until further notice.

↪ Notes: While the power supply is rated for 40°C, testing done by Aris (who tests at 45°C), shows excessive ripple above the ATX spec at 110%/CL2 load.

↪ Notes: The OCP and OPP triggering points need tuning. Very good ripple suppression, and decent component quality. Excellent noise profile.

↪ Notes: Failed JonnyGuru's burn-in test (gave up the ghost), protections are poorly misconfigured on this platform.

↪ Notes: Based on the same platform as the Black Hole; OTP untested; some parts remain unidentifiable; white variant available.

↪ Notes: ATX 3.0 transient response could be better. 5VSB OCP is stupidly high.

↪ Notes: OOS transient response on 3.3V. The OCP and OPP triggering points are insane, particularly 5VSB OCP, which is set over 200%. 7 year warranty.

↪ Notes: Very poor transient response and ripple on 3.3V.

↪ Notes: Bad power good signal.

↪ Notes: 1200W hold-up time fails to meet the ATX minimum specification.

↪ Notes: Failed ATX 3.0 12V power excursion testing, malfunctioning OCP on 3.3V. False efficiency certifications.

↪ Notes: Aggressive fan profile, ~40+ dbA output.

↪ Notes: Questionable fan quality, two EPS connectors on the same cable. Otherwise qualifies for A tier based on performance.

↪ Notes: Excellent noise profile despite uncompetitive overall performance. Poor load regulation on the 5VSB rail and poor transient response on 3.3V.

↪ Notes: Quite loud under full load, ~39dbA

↪ Notes:

↪ Notes: Be wary of 2024 OEM/Platform change in the N.A. market!

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