The Sharkoon Rebel P20 1200 is an affordable high-power PSU, compliant with the most recent ATX spec (v3.1), so it can deliver double its power for short periods, if required.
The Sharkoon Rebel P20 1200 will be included in my best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x PSU picks article.
Sharkoon made a bold move in power supplies, releasing two lines simultaneously, one with normal-size ATX members and one with small form factor SFX models. I will review all of them in time, starting from the flagship Rebel P20 model with 1200W capacity. Andyson is the OEM of all Rebel P20 units, which suffered last year because of EVGA’s issues to the degree that it almost shut down its operation. It is nice to see Andyson back again to its feet, and I hope there won’t be any problems with this manufacturer anymore, since I like their attitude and cooperation spirit.
The Rebel P20 1200 is a fully modular unit with ultra-compact dimensions thanks to the restricted 140mm depth. As I mentioned several times before, in previous reviews, I am not so fond of small, in size, PSUs because, in most cases, the small dimensions affect noise output. In this unit, the average noise output is within 30-35 dBA, Cybenetics Standard++ rating, so it is decent, given the maximum power of 1200W. When a powerful PSU delivers high loads, the system’s overall noise output will be high since the cooling solutions on the CPU and GPU will be stressed unless it uses a custom-made and high-capable liquid cooling solution for both. This means that even if the PSU runs silently at high loads, don’t expect the other PC parts to do so.

It is worth adding to the disadvantages only a 2-year warranty. That’s funny.
Nope, I won’t fall in the warranty pit ever again. Only if it is one year I will mention it.
