Efficiency Normal, Light & Super-Light Loads
Efficiency is high enough at normal loads at 115V and sky-high at the same load range at 230V. It should be higher at light and super-light loads.
Average Efficiency
The PSU’s average efficiency is high enough at 115V and pretty high at 230V.
Average PF
The APFC converter needs tuning for even higher PF readings at 115V. It performs satisfactorily at 230V.
Average Efficiency 5VSB
The 5VSB rail is highly efficient.
Vampire Power
Vampire power is low at 115V, but it should be below 0.1W at 230V.

Hey how are you.
I am currently thinking about a PSU that is Future proof 1200w+ with Dual 2x 16 Pin Connectors.
I am currently evaluating between
NZXT C1500 Platinum
vs
1300 Taichi / Gold Series
I have read that the c1500 has wrong ocp/opp values, but the Asrock Models dont have Fan Failure Protection.
What is more Important, and what would you advice me too buy from the Models:
NZXT1500C
Phantom Gaming Gold 1300/1600
Taichi 1300
🙂 The Noise doesnt matter i have headset 🙂
Did you find the answer? What did you choose? I am interested in exactly the same.
Wouldn’t have expected AsRock to enter that space but it’s always a welcome surprise to see new competition. Are there any plans to also test their SL-G and PG-G units?
Yes, I will try to review all of the new ASRock PSUs.
I can’t wait for that since AsRock is available in my country unlike many other brands that you review.
Interestingly, ASRock Phantom and Taichi have the same specifications for the 1600 and 1300 units.
The only differences are in the Gold efficiency for the Phantom units and Titanium for Taichi ones,
and the number of connecting cables for the 1600 and 1300 models.
