XPG CYBERCORE II 1000W Platinum Power Supply Review

XPG make some great power supplies, and while they may not be a brand all of you know too well, they are in fact the hardcore high-end PC gaming hardware division of the mighty ADATA. While we have some more potent units in from them to test, I’m starting today with something a little more consumer-friendly today, the XPG CYBERCORE II, a 1000W power supply that should be more than enough for enthusiast gaming PC builds. It comes with an 80 Plus Platinum efficiency, so it’ll more greener to run, and it supports the latest PCI 3.0 12VHPWR connectors too, so your new graphics cards won’t need to use those janky PSU adaptors either!

XPG CYBERCORE II 1000W Platinum

It looks like they’ve gone all out on the hardware too, with all Japanese 105c Capacitors, a full DC-to-DC circuit design, a good quality 120mm Nidec fan, and eight protection systems to ensure safety and stability. While XPG isn’t the only one to do this, I am glad to see them matching the competition by also offering this with a 10-year warranty, which certainly gives you peace of mind as they’re obviously confident in the quality.
