Gamer Storm PQ1000M-V2 ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Box & Bundle

I received some early samples, so photos of the box are not available at this time. I admit that I like it when there is no box, since this is the perfect opportunity to show you one of my cats. This is Riris, sitting comfortably on my chair.

The design looks strange, but I like the large perforations of the fan grille and on the exhaust side, which allow for good airflow. Moreover, the PSU’s dimensions are compact, with a depth of only 140mm. On the front side, besides the power switch and AC receptacle, we also find a push button for toggling the fan’s semi-passive operation on or off.

The modular panel includes eleven sockets, including a native 12V-2×6 header.

Modular Cables
Description Cable Count Connector Count (Total) Gauge In Cable Capacitors
ATX connector 20+4 pin (600mm) 1 1 18AWG No
4+4 pin EPS12V (705mm) 2 2 18AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (605mm+125mm) 1 2 18AWG No
6+2 pin PCIe (605mm) 2 2 18AWG No
12+4 pin PCIe (655mm) (600W) 1 1 16-24AWG No
SATA (460mm+120mm+120mm) / 4-pin Molex (+120mm) 3 9 / 3 18AWG No

The cables are long enough, but unfortunately, thicker than 18AWG gauges are not used on the 24-pin ATX, EPS, and 6+2 pin PCIe connectors. They would help in lowering voltage drops at high loads in a 1000W PSU. The number of peripheral connectors is sufficient, but I would like to see a longer distance between them, ideally 150mm.
