2023 Power Supplies

↪ Notes: Fan is of questionable quality. Yate Loon DBB. Loose 12V transient response.

↪ Notes: Cybenetics Silver

↪ Notes: ODM is Dongguan Changhu Electronics Co. Ltd.

↪ Notes: ATX 3.0 refresh

↪ Notes: Semi-digital

↪ Notes: Totem pole PFC

↪ Notes: Pro and Pro RGB Modular are the same internally.

↪ Notes: Overall very low build quality

↪ Notes: PPFC on 650W models and below. "Specifications are subject to change at any time without notice."

↪ Notes: PPFC on 650W models and below. "Specifications are subject to change at any time without notice."

↪ Notes: PPFC; e-waste

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

↪ Notes: Bridgeless PFC, OCP needs tuning on all rails

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

↪ Notes: Looks exactly the same as the regular System Power 10 internally. Unless later testing proves the above issues are not present, detier to E.

↪ Notes: Platform is well reviewed although no direct transient response data.

↪ Notes: Voltage regulation is out of ATX specifications on the minor rails; also not independently regulated.

↪ Notes: Basically G1278 updated to ATX 3.0

↪ Notes: No internal changes, but 1300W only.

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

↪ Notes: "Semi-digital" - offers digital fan control and monitoring via MasterPlus software; actual components are analog.

↪ Notes: Very similar to the GX III that superseded it.

↪ Notes: GX III ATX 3.0, but upd. to ATX 3.1. Yate Loon rifle-bearing. Has purple heatsinks for glam.

↪ Notes: Not to be confused with the GX II Gold.

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

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

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

↪ Notes: 140mm long. Same design as the 2023 RMe, without an included 12VHPWR cable.

↪ 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:

↪ Notes: Mediocre quality capacitors.

↪ Notes: OEM and platform is unconfirmed, unit is basically e-waste though.

↪ Notes: 850W model can come in white.

↪ Notes: Semi-digital. Outstanding performance per Aris' review.

↪ Notes: Doesn't claim necessary protections, unknown components.

↪ Notes: Platform visually appears identical to the 916MC platform used in the SAMA XF, which died during OCP testing per LTT Labs. Proceed with caution.

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

↪ Notes: Limited testing; rating could be higher once additional testing exists.

↪ Notes: Tier A performance (albeit barely) but only a 3 year warranty since EVGA might go under.

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

↪ Notes: Insane performer, extremely quiet, however the 850W model is discontinued.

↪ Notes: Highly likely a similar platform to the PTM Pro ATX 3.0, OTP works in similar configurations (PTM Pro). Superb electrical performance.

↪ Notes: YL rifle bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Sleeve bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Uses hexagonal (in a circular shape) and oblong fan grilles.

↪ Notes: Costdown of the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 ARGB platform; non-modular with Chinese caps and a rifle bearing fan.

↪ Notes: Solid electrical performance, let down by poorly tuned protections, mediocre transient response, and a low quality fan.

↪ Notes: 5V OCP malfunctioned under high temps; CSZ costdown with Chinese caps and inexpensive bridge rectifiers per Aris' testing.

↪ Notes: 3 year warranty, inconclusive on platform until further notice.

↪ Notes: See teardown here

↪ Notes: Modular board protudes from the unit

↪ Notes: Nearly identical to the XF.

↪ Notes: Black Diamond with a PCIe 5.0 interface.

↪ Notes: OCP did work, but the PSU died in the process, which is not ideal. Recommended only for low-end hardware. See testing here.

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

↪ Notes: Internal shots confirm a costdown Core GC/Focus

↪ Notes: The OCP, OPP, and OTP triggering points, while functional, are set way higher than necessary. Very high build quality. 10 year warranty.

↪ Notes: Updated for ATX 3.0 to include dual 12VHPWR. Only 1650W under 120VAC

↪ Notes: Metallic colored Silverstone logo in the center of the fan grille. 3 year warranty.

↪ Notes: Also known/listed as DA-R Gold. 1000W only shows 3 year warranty despite A tier performance.

↪ Notes: OCP on 3.3V rail is not properly implemented.

↪ Notes: White variant available at 1kW.

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

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

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

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

↪ Notes: Very beefy platform, however OTP doesn't work; very loud. Would be tier A- if not for OTP not working.

↪ Notes: Transient response was tested but values were left out. OPP is set very high, but the PSU handled it and shut down safely and properly.

↪ Notes: BE WARY OF ATX 3.1 2024 VARIANT! Poor transient response on 3.3V and load regulation on 5VSB. Very good electrical performance otherwise.

↪ Notes: Overall really good electrical performance with only the 3.3V rail trailing behind in transients and failing testing. OTP isn't tested.

↪ Notes: Essentially a Thor V2 made for full-modularity; no MOV.

↪ Notes: No MOV. OCP on the 3.3V rail failed (via rails falling out of ATX specification)
