Platinum Efficiency and ATX 3.1 Readiness
The SX Series PSU features 80 PLUS® Platinum certification and full compliance with Intel ATX 3.1, ensuring high efficiency and compatibility with current and future systems. It reaches up to 92% efficiency under typical loads, reducing wasted energy and heat, which helps keep the PC cooler and more reliable. Its native PCIe Gen 5.1 12V-2×6 connector provides up to 600W directly to next-generation graphics cards without the need for adapters, while the included 12V-2×6 to dual 6+2 PCIe cable extends support to multiple devices beyond just GPUs on the 1000W and 1200W models.
Cooling and Build Quality
Engineered for quiet yet effective operation, the SX Series features a 120mm fluid dynamic bearing fan with a Zero RPM fanless mode that can be toggled on or off using the switch on the PSU’s rear panel, allowing for always-on mode or activation only when a specific temperature threshold is reached. The PSU is constructed with 100% Japanese 105°C capacitors for long-term reliability and stable voltage regulation, combined with a high-amperage single +12V rail that provides consistent power to demanding components like GPUs and CPUs.
Design, Protection, and Reliability
The SX Series PSU focuses on both aesthetics and safety, featuring flexible braided-texture modular cables for easy routing and a tidy build, along with an embossed mesh housing designed to enhance airflow and visual appeal. To protect the system, the PSU includes a full set of protections, including OPP, OVP, SCP, OCP, OTP, UVP, SIP, and NLP, ensuring reliability in all operating conditions.
