Enthusiast PC Builds
Designed for builders who value 1050W capacity, modular cable management and Gold-rated efficiency.
Before You Build
- Check total power consumption: Confirm that 1050W is sufficient for your CPU, graphics card, drives, cooling and other components, allowing for transient power demand.
- Verify GPU compatibility: Check the graphics card's power requirements and connector type before choosing a cable or adapter.
- Check case clearance: The corresponding 1050W ATX 3.1 model specification lists dimensions of 180 × 150 × 86mm. Verify clearance in your cabinet before installation.
- Use the correct modular cables: PSU-side pinouts can differ between models. Use only the cables supplied with this unit or explicitly approved replacements.
- Connect CPU power correctly: Follow your motherboard manual when using the EPS 4+4-pin and 8-pin connectors. Do not substitute PCIe GPU cables for CPU power cables.
- Ensure safe electrical supply: Use a suitable wall outlet and properly rated electrical wiring for the system's expected power draw.
- Remember efficiency varies: 80 PLUS Gold describes efficiency under defined testing conditions; it does not mean the PSU continuously draws 1050W from the wall.
