Like the 1000W unit, the OCP triggering points are lowly set under cold and hot conditions. The same goes for the over power protection’s triggering points. Nonetheless, the differences between hot and cold temperatures are low, and the 12V rail’s OCP triggering point is a bit higher in hot conditions than in cold ones!
The other protection features are present, including fan failure protection, which is essential!

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.
