NZXT C1200 ATX v3.1 PSU Review

Transient Response

20% Load – 20ms

Voltage Before After Change Pass/Fail
12V 12.127V 11.925V 1.67% Pass
5V 5.062V 4.975V 1.71% Pass
3.3V 3.354V 3.247V 3.20% Pass
5VSB 5.029V 4.990V 0.79% Pass

50% Load -20ms

Voltage Before After Change Pass/Fail
12V 12.086V 12.010V 0.63% Pass
5V 5.056V 4.980V 1.51% Pass
3.3V 3.344V 3.232V 3.35% Pass
5VSB 5.004V 4.966V 0.75% Pass

The transient response is good on the minor rails, but the average deviation is high at 12V. The 12V rail has a notable voltage drop in the first transient test (20% load), where the resonant controller seems to operate at PWM mode.

Transient Response ATX v3.1 Tests

The PSU passes all ATX v3.1 transient response tests.

The 12V rail is 0.21V away from the top performer in the 200% transient load test. Of course, a smaller gap would be preferable.

  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.
