The purple heatsinks are eye-catching, as in the 1250W model. The platform’s design is modern enough, and despite the PSU’s high capacity and the normal dimension of the PCB, there is still plenty of space among parts for good airflow. The main transformer looks like the ones used in 750W and 850W units, but thanks to its design, it can deliver way more power without issues. On the primary side, besides the APFC converter, two FETs, arranged in a half-bridge topology, chop the incoming signal to feed the main transformer, which provides power to the secondary side. An LLC resonant converter is also used to minimize switching losses. Six FETs handle the 12V rail on the secondary side, and two DC-DC converters generate the minor rails.
The soldering quality is impeccable, and the FETs that Lite-On used are of high quality, especially on the primary side. I cannot say the same for the TK (Toshin Kogyo Co., Ltd) caps, which might be Japanese on paper but are not up to the other Japanese manufacturers’ quality (e.g., Chemi-Con and Rubycon). Besides electrolytic caps, many polymer ones handle ripple filtering on the secondary side.
CM, like most brands, went with a Hong Hua fan. So far, this fan manufacturer proved reliable without breaking the bank, dominating the fan market.
Hi, confused on the review. In the first page it alludes to the 1250W version and also says it’s Platinum efficiency but specs and picture shows Gold.
If its 1050W, ATX 3.0 and Platinum, it would be the perfect one for me so unsure on the details provided. Thanks.
It is Platinum in Cybenetics, while Gold in 80 PLUS. Cybenetics measures efficiency using a different approach than 80 PLUS, taking thousands of measurements instead of only 3-4.
So the 1050 is Cybenetics Platinum, while the 1250 is Cybenetics Gold.
