Average Noise
The average noise output is low.
Fan Noise & Speed Maps @ 28-32 °C – 115V
The fan’s speed is low at up to 620W at 12V, so noise output is below 6 dBA up to that load level. The load on the minor rails generally affects the fan speed, but not significantly. The 30 dBA mark is passed at around 890W at 12V, and there are some small periods, under full load, where the PSU’s noise exceeds 35 dBA.
Fan Noise & Speed Maps @ 28-32 °C – 230V
The fan speed profile at 230V is almost identical to that at 115V. The only slight difference is that the 6-10 dBA region is larger at 230V.

Hi Aris i’m from Portugal, how do i setup the power supply i mean the button next to the power on.
Hi! The button next to power on is to enable/disable the fan stop feature. I would leave the fan in operation (at light loads).
I just bought this PSU, but unfortunately, it arrived DOA.
It makes a strange noise, almost like something is hitting the fan, but the sound continues even when the fan stops spinning.
I’ve requested an RMA and am currently waiting for a response.
btw i choose this psu because of Aris. After johnny guru went to corsair you’re the only one i trust for psu in depth reviews. So thank you for your hard work.
I also noticed that not all the cables are labeled as CPU or motherboard, which makes it confusing to know which end connects to the power supply or the motherboard.
Tell me what to do if the supplied AC-cable has the wrong plug from UAE (Type G). In my country uses a Euro (Type F)? What can I do to use it correctly? Me from Russia. Version PSU C1000 Gold ATX 3.1.
Купи переходник на ozon. Я так делал.
i worried about coil whine cuz of that i confuse the buy this psu
I heard lot of people reporting coil whine when using NZXT 1200C 2024, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhfsE3Qkvj0 for example.
I am thinking about either Corsair or Seasonic PSU, but this seems to be high in the PSU tier list also https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/edit?gid=1973454078#gid=1973454078
coil whine can happen to any PSU. This platform that the C1200 uses is among the most popular. TT, Montech, SilverStone, and many more use it.
I have a c1000 2024 white edition and i did a new build like two weeks ago, i have no coil whine.., i guess you’ll have to be lucky..
На видео не та модель. Скорее всего.
Hello, great review as always.
Can you please tell me what is the difference between labeling:
16AWG vs 16-24AWG
(first have one number and second two) ?
I couldn’t find an answer
Thanks in advance
16AWG is most likely the 12V & Ground leads (12 in total), 24 is the sense pins (2-4 in total)
the second is for the sense gauges which are thinner.
Hello,
I have already returned the Corsair RM1000x PSU.
Now I am the owner of the PSU NZXT C1000 ATX v3.1 EAN 5056547204710, Manufacturer no. PA-0G2BB-EU.
Different PSU, but the problems with standby are about the same.
When the PC power supply is plugged in, the standby time is approximately 22.0 W (at 238 V). In this case, the leakage current is 0.145 A.
When the power supply is turned off by a switch on the PC power supply, the consumption drops to 10.2 W (leakage current 0.070A), but the power supply does not completely shut down.
The load for the PSU is a motherboard with a processor, RAM, M.2 SSD and fans.
My energy meter (Brennenstul EM240 DE3698) is not completely accurate, the deviation is 1 volt (0.5% error) when measuring a voltage of about 240 volts. Its verification in a load in the form of a LED lamp (HG10556B) for 470 lm with a power of 4.2 watts is 100% the same and is 4.2 watts. Voltage control was carried out with fairly accurate BRYMEN BM235 and KAIWEETS HT206D multimeters.
We are not talking about 0.1 watts, as stated in the Cybenetics certificate that Standby Power Consumption is equal to 0.0691W (230V), but 22 watts! That is, the excess is more than 200 times.
In 2023, the following tightening came into force Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/826 of 17 April 2023 from 2025, devices must not consume more than 0.5 Watts in standby or in off mode.
I have a question, how does the manufacturer comply with the current certificate?
Does any authority control the import of such products into the European Union?
Best regards
First of all, vampire power is measured with the PSU itself, NOT connected to anything else? Vampire power is the power that the PSU’s internal circuits drawn while it is in standby (only 5VSB).
Hello I would like to know how to choose between NZXT C1000 ATX3.1 and CORSAIR RM1000X ATX3.1 and MSI MPG A1000G ATX3.1 In your opinion these three are better？
Hello,
In a previous article you’ve mentioned that “ATX v3.1 PSUs are NOT ATX v3.0 because of the lower hold-up time”. However from my research, most manufacturers describe that the new spec is backward compatible. Maybe they are referring to connector compatibility, but given the results for this PSU, which provides hold up time around 30 ms, do you think that it will be possible to pair it with existing ATX3.0 GPUS until upgrading to NVidia 50x series or similar?
Thanks in advance for your response.
I don’t know to what they refer, but the fact is that the ATX v3.0 spec is tougher in hold-up time. Also this PSU yes, you can use it with any upcoming GPU, since the cable remains exactly the same (12VHPWR or 12V-2×6)
cables are the same, the 12+4pin connector cable. Hold-up time is lower in ATX v3.1 standard
Would this be a better choice than the Super Flower VII Gold?
Hi! Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it!
Very impressive work! Thank you very much! 🙂
I was wondering if you heard anything about the Straight Power 12 from be quiet? I have barely heard about this unit and I was hesitating between the Straight Power 12, a Corsair RMx/e or a NZXT C Gold for an RTX 4070 ti Super + i5-14600K system (850 – 1000W range).
Thank you againt!
I haven’t checked it so far, SP 12.
