This fully modular power supply is certified 80 PLUS Gold, ensuring high energy efficiency and reduced power consumption under load.
Engineered to meet Intel’s ATX 3.0 specifications, it supports up to 200% power excursion, delivers optimized performance at low loads, and adheres to the latest power timing standards for next-gen hardware compatibility.
