Lian Li EG1000G ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Box & Bundle

Typically, the box has a photo of the PSU on its face. Inside, the offered protection is adequate.

This is a weird-looking PSU because of the extended modular panel. This can be convenient for some users, though. I like that the top fan cover can be removed easily since it is magnetic. We find an AC receptacle and the power switch on the PSU’s front side. On the opposite side, there are 13x sockets, including a 12V-2×6 one. Although there is a single native 12V-2×6 socket, Lian Li included a pair of these cables, with the second one ending in 2x 8pin connectors.

This is the removable USB/fan hub. I guess they made it removable to make the installation process easier.

Like the 1200W model, the unit has many cables, including two EPS, four PCIe cables, and a single high-power PCIe cable. There are also many peripheral cables, with the distance between most of them long enough at 150mm. All cables are pretty long, especially the EPS ones so that you won’t have any compatibility issues even with extra-large chassis.

According to Lian Li, the PSU’s high power cables use thicker and stronger terminals with lower contact resistance. In the 12+4 pin connector, the terminals are soldered for better contact and to avoid dramatic situations. Another interesting feature is the dual-color shell of the 12V-2×6 connector, which provides a visual indication of full insertion when the blue part disappears.

  1. Respected Crmaris, what is your impression of HITACHI electrolytic capacitors? In your perspective, do you consider them to be in the same tier as NCC (Nippon Chemi-Con) and Rubycon?

  2. 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?
