Epilogue
All in all, the PCCooler YT1000 offers competitive overall performance. The only reason I don’t provide a recommendation award is that I decided some time ago not to do so if the protection features (OCP and OPP mostly) are not correctly set. Additionally, since I don’t have any pricing information (at the time of the review), I cannot comment on its price-per-performance ratio.
Before investing in a new power supply, read my article on the Best ATX v3.x PSUs to compare all alternative PSU offerings. You help me a lot by using my affiliate links, which don’t increase the price of the product. I receive a commission from Amazon every time you do it, which can make a significant difference for me, especially now that I am working independently, exclusively for my media, rather than for someone else.
