Hello Aris, i saw something strange in my country psu market, The Gamdias Helios P2 1300g & 1000g has cybenetics gold certification in the units sold in my country, but there’s nothing in cybenetics database about this brand
I have to send another note to Gamdias, as it seems, because they keep on using Cybenetics ratings without having them! Thank you for letting us know!
I hope they sent units for real certification in cybenetics… I also hope Redragon and risemode send units for certification. I don’t buy psu without cybenetics certification
Look it . I saw it, I thought it strange

Hello Aris, it seems that your review of the NZXT C1200 and C1000 is not accurate. The specifications on the Cybenetics site for the NZXT C1000 are listed here https://www.cybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2448/, but on HW Busters it looks different; that is the NZXT C1200 https://hwbusters.com/psus/nzxt-c1200-atx-v3-1-psu-review/. I hope you can revise it soon. I am also waiting for news on several pending Cybenetics certification, such as the MSI A1250GS and some Gamemax Lioncore PSUs.
Hi Alex, what is wrong? It is typical of me to do some typos in the specs, but please point out what is different to save me some time.
because on your review on hwbusters the part analysis it’s should be NZXT C1000, just rechecked that NZXT C1000 should using this : https://hwbusters.com/psus/nzxt-c1000-atx-v3-1-psu-review/3/

based on this data NZXT C1000 on the cybenetics web should use this data, and that NZXT C1000 parts description data on Cybenetics web should belong to NZXT C1200
it seems your just misconfigured the parts description NZXT C1000 on cybenetics and using NZXT C1200 data, i see that you also don’t put the parts description of NZXT C1200 on cybenetics web, maybe you can revised up later
thank you, fixed it!
Is the review for the Hxi 1500 further delayed? Could you give me a rough estimate of when it might be ready?
into next week most likely.
