The OEM is Channel Well Technology (CWT), and the platform’s code name is CSZ. This is the same platform used in the Thermaltake GF3 1200W unit, offering good performance and ATX v3.x compliance.
The platform uses analog controllers for all circuits. We find a half-bridge topology and an LLC resonant converter on the primary side. The secondary side utilizes a synchronous rectification scheme with ten (the GF3 1200W uses eight) Infineon FETs generating the 12V rail and two VRMs for the minor rails. The cooling fan is by Hong Hua and uses a fluid dynamic bearing, so it won’t have any issues in the long run if you don’t push it hard at high temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. Lastly, the build quality is high; the same goes for the soldering quality. At the solder side of the PCB, CWT also enhanced some PCB traces with copper plates for better conductivity and lower power losses at high loads.
XPG’s platform uses more polymer caps than Thermaltake’s implementation. Moreover, the combined capacity of the bulk caps is increased (XPG: 1290uF, Thermaltake: 1150uF), meaning that the hold-up in the XPG unit will be more prolonged.
fwiw I got some horrible coil whine with this PSU on low loads. Not sure if it was just my unit but had to return it as it was unbearable without headphones on windows’ power saver power plan, mostly disappeared on balanced if I wasn’t mostly idle
