While the C1500 uses the more advanced and semi-digital CTT platform, the lower-capacity members of the same line use the analog CXT platform. The design is contemporary, with a half-bridge topology on the primary side and an LLC resonant converter. On the secondary side, a synchronous scheme rectifies the 12V rail through ten Infineon FETs, and a pair of DC-DC converters generate the minor rails.

All parts are of high quality, and the soldering quality is also good. The cooling fan is by Hong Hua, which dominates the PSU market because of its fair prices, good quality, and performance. The fan uses a fluid dynamic bearing for lower noise and increased longevity.

  1. The difference between the original C1200 and ATX 3.1 version is not just limited to the 12V-2×6 connector. The new version also has one extra PCIe connector, which is good if you have a GPU with three PCIe connectors like the 7900 XTX from AIBs.
