Key Specifications

ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 Compatibility

This PSU is fully compliant with the ATX 3.1 standard. It handles power excursions up to 200% of the rated power. Because of this, it is compatible with PCIe 5.1 GPUs. It includes the native 12V-2×6 connector. This simplifies wiring for high-end graphics cards.

High-Efficiency Gold Performance

The 80 PLUS Gold certification guarantees up to 90% efficiency at typical loads. This reduces heat generation and energy waste. The single rail design provides 100A on the +12V line. This provides ample headroom for power-hungry components.

Thermal Resilience and Cooling

The unit operates reliably at up to 40°C ambient temperature. This is ideal for UK summers or warm case environments. It uses a 135mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fan. The fan curve is intelligent. It remains silent during low loads and ramps up only when necessary.

Fully Modular Cable System

The fully modular layout allows you to connect only necessary cables. This improves airflow inside the chassis. The cables are embossed and flexible. They make routing easier for cleaner builds. Note: This listing mentions “flat black cables” in the description but “embossed” in features. Please verify the exact cable texture before purchase.
