Future-Ready ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 Compliance

This PSU meets the ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards. It handles power excursions effectively. The unit includes 12-pin PCI Express connectors. So, it supports next-generation graphics cards without issue. You can verify full ATX 3.1 compliance for your specific UK system requirements.

Platinum Efficiency for Lower Energy Costs

The 80 PLUS Platinum certification ensures high efficiency. It reaches up to 92.7% efficiency at typical loads. This reduces wasted energy and heat output. Consequently, your system runs cooler and quieter. It is a practical choice for energy-conscious users.

Semi-Passive Zero-RPM Cooling

The unit features a 14 cm fan with Rifle bearing technology. Fan speed ranges from 0 to 2100 RPM. At low loads, the fan stops completely for zero noise. This semi-passive cooling is ideal for silent PC builds. However, the fan activates under heavier loads for stable performance.

Fully-Modular Cable Management

The cabling is fully-modular. You connect only the cables your system requires. This improves airflow and reduces clutter inside the case. The motherboard power cable is 60 cm long. CPU and PCI Express cables are also 60–70 cm for easy routing.

Comprehensive Power Protection

This unit includes multiple protection features. These cover over current, over power, and over voltage. It also protects against overheating, short circuits, and surges. The hold time is 20.42 ms. This ensures stable operation during brief power fluctuations.
