How outlets covered it
Gigabyte released the 1000GM PG5 1000W power supply, built by HEC, featuring Platinum-level efficiency despite being marketed as Gold. It includes T-Guard, a thermal monitoring system for the 12V-2x6 connector, to prevent overheating in high-end GPUs.
The Gamemax RGB PRO 750G power supply offers respectable efficiency and electrical performance but is considered overpriced at $105 compared to competitors. Its 80 PLUS Gold efficiency certification is unverifiable, and the unit lacks a fanless mode while being loud under load.
A review of the AZZA PSAZ-750G ATX 3.1 power supply found that its 80 PLUS Gold badge is not backed by certification and its efficiency falls below the Gold threshold at half load. This matters because consumers rely on certifications for power supply efficiency and quality, and the unit's unverified claims, short warranty, and limited 12V-2x6 connector capacity make its budget price less appealing.
A review of the Thermalright TR-KG750 750W power supply, built by HKC, found it to be ATX 3.1 compliant with a native 12V-2x6 connector and aggressive pricing at $91. However, it exhibited marginal 80 PLUS Gold efficiency, acceptable rather than good regulation and ripple, and a loud sleeve-bearing fan that lacks a fanless mode.
The Phanteks AMP GH 750W power supply offers strong 12V regulation, low ripple, and an 8-year warranty, making it a competitive option under $90. However, its 12V-2x6 connector is capped at 450W, which may limit its use with some high-power components.
Montech released the Century II Gold 850W ATX 3.1 power supply, which provides Cybenetics ETA Platinum efficiency and ATX 3.1 compliance at a competitive price point. This unit aims to offer modern specifications and Gold-level efficiency, undercutting more expensive options in the PSU market.
A review of the FSP Mega GM 1200W power supply found it performs at Platinum efficiency levels despite its Gold certification, offering strong acoustics and a compact design. This in-house FSP platform provides native 600W 12V-2x6 delivery and a 10-year warranty, making it a competitive high-wattage option.
Corsair released the 2026 version of its RM1000e power supply, which includes a new ThermalProtect 12V-2x6 cable designed to cut power to the GPU if the connector temperature exceeds 65°C. This feature addresses concerns about melting GPU power connectors by providing a hardware-based safety mechanism.
MSI has released the MPG Ai1600TS PCIE5, a 1600W power supply featuring Titanium efficiency and GPU Safeguard+ protection. This high-wattage unit targets users with multi-GPU workstations and extreme overclockers, offering real-time GPU power management.
Montech's Titan PLA 750W power supply, built on a Seasonic platform, offers precise voltage regulation, ripple suppression, and thermal management. This unit is ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant, positioning it as a strong contender in the 750W market, especially when available at a sale price.
ASRock's Steel Legend SL-1200P power supply unit (PSU) is a new offering in the high-wattage modular PSU segment, featuring Platinum-tier efficiency and ATX 3.1 / PCIe 5.1 compliance. This product marks ASRock's recent expansion into the PSU market with a broad lineup, signaling a long-term commitment to the sector.
Cooler Master introduced the V Platinum 3000 Workstation power supply, providing 3000W output with 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency and a 12-year warranty. This power supply is designed for multi-GPU AI development boxes and rendering workstations, featuring four native 12V-2x6 connectors.
