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.
Thought I would share my findings.
Firstly thank you crmaris for the good review based on this I decided to get the NZXT C1200, retiring my Corsair AX1200 (it’s now more than 10 years old). I found that I am using less power now, around 0.5Amps or 115 Watt (@ 230V) less power now, I tested playing the same game for the same period and logging with my Fluke 367FC. I did find that the inrush current is a bit higher at 5.2A, vs the 4.7A my corsair had. But overall super happy.
For my next build, I’m going for a complete white build. Luckily, this psu comes in white, but i saw in a video from Der Bauer that the cables are very loosely connected to the psu. Was this also the case for your unit?

Could you als do a review of the Phanteks revolt 1200?
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.
Are there any plans to test the be quiet! Straight Power 12 80+ Platinum?
Yes, but I don’t know when I will find the time for it.
