Lian Li EG1000G ATX v3.1 PSU Review

The Lian Li EG1000G is an ATX v3.1 compliant PSU featuring a unique L-shale design. Read the review to find out how it performs! 

The Lian Li EG1000G ATX v3.1 is (or will be) included in my best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x PSU picks article.

I have already evaluated the Lian Li EG1200G model, so the time has come for the 1000W model to be tested. Like its big brother, it offers a removable USB/fan hub with four USB and six fan headers.

This concept could help users wanting more USB headers and those who don’t want to buy a separate PWM/RGB controller for their fans. Each fan header supports up to 2A, so you won’t have a problem with strong fans.

EDGE 1200W Black / White $179.99
EDGE 1000W Black / White $154.99
EDGE 850W White $119.99
EDGE 850W Black $109.99
EDGE 750W Black $99.99
EDGE Hub White $16.99

The 1200W and 1000W units will come with the EDGE hub, which will be optional in the rest of the family models. This unit is made by Helly, which has a close partnership with Lian Li.

  1. hello Aris based on your tier list which is better Unicon or Toshin Kogyo caps or it’s just on a same level ?

      1. so between TK LGW/LGWA/LGWB with TK LW/LFW/LFWB/LCW what’s different, i look at TK website there are no TK LW/LFW/LFWB/LCW on that product list but i’ve seen some cheap power supply with japan capacitor gimmick use these caps, so do they had real lifetime performance similar to LGW/LGWA/LGWB product or similar to other chinese caps like LTEC or ChengX ?

    1. Hi, I was wondering if you could answer some questions that I have concerns about. I recently purchased this psu Lian Li Edge 1000w gold and installed it in my rig to power an rtx 5080.
      With all these issues of 12vhpwr cables melting, I decided to check my 12v core voltages on hwinfo and noticed that this psu is showing readings of about 11.8v for PCIe and 16-pin, and would dip to as low as 11.6v under load.
      I’ve tried checking all the cables and made sure they’re seated properly to avail.
      Am I being too paranoid or do these reading look abnormally low. Should I submit and RMA and return the product?
