Cooler Master Goes Big With Three New 1300 W Power Supplies
Based on three new power supplies from Cooler Master, it looks like we can expect some extremely power hungry GPU's this year, as the company has announced no less than three 1300 W power supplies. On the plus side, all three models are 80 Plus Platinum certified, so they'll at least be really power efficient. Interestingly, none of the three new models follow the ATX standard when it comes to physical size, as two use the SFX form factor, whereas the last one is too deep to meet even the large ATX PSU spec.
Starting with the big boy, the V1300 Platinum 30th Anniversary, which measures in at 190 x 150 x 86 mm (DxWxH) and is the only 1300 W model that works when plugged into a 110 V power socket. It's a fairly standard high-end power supply with a 135 mm FBD fan and fully modular cables, although the wires in the PCIe cables have been upgraded to 16 AWG to prevent current drop. It also has a switch for either single or multi-rail operation and can deliver 54 A per 12 V rail. It'll come with a 10 year warranty, although the pricing is unknown at this point in time.
Moving down a step in size, we have the V1300 SFX-L Platinum, which also comes in an 1100 W full-range SKU, since the 1300 W model is limited to 220-240 V countries. It follows the SFX-L form factor and measures 125 x 125 x 63.5 mm (DxWxH) and is home to a 120 mm FBD fan. We're still looking at a fully modular PSU here with the same 16 AWG cables, although in this case, they're also extended to the 12VHPWR cable, as this PSU is ready for the next generation of graphics cards. Here the 12 V rail delivers no less than 108.3 A, something it shares with its even smaller SFX sibling.
The final new PSU is the V1300 SFX Platinum, which measures a mere 100 x 125 x 63.5 mm (DxWxH). It's likely to be a fair bit noisier at full load than its larger relatives, as it comes with a 92 mm FBD fan. Beyond that, the specs are identical to the SFX-L version. So far there's no word on when these new PSU's will be available, but it should be some time later this year.

We can buy 40$ PSUs that would run anywhere in the world, this is unacceptable
It seems like we are regressing a bit here.. you will for sure see this on your hydro bill.. I know I can see mine right now..
Not as green as we thought we were heheh.
holy sh!te
I'd expect full performance from the SFX-L but I'd be very, very surprised if the 1300W SFX does not derate past 40/45C to a lower output wattage. Maybe significantly. Even if it's 220V only.
Even at just 650W, Seasonic proved that even SFX-L is thermally challenging if you're not bringing your absolute A-game design (SGX derates at 50C).
Also, what's up with the PCIe 5.0 connector on the SFX-L and SFX?
Its all about electrical regulations.
Talk with your electrical company for details.
220V = half the current in use VS 110V Load.
America with its weird 110/220 hybrid setup is literally unique, and a minority
I were forced to switch the range selector of my FLUKE 8846A at 240V input, and the internal transformer now this heat up less.
A 3060 is about 25% faster than a 1070 at the same power draw.
A 6600XT vastly outperforms an RX480 while drawing 20W less.
Efficiency is improving, but people are being convinced to buy hungrier cards regardless.
PSU sizing long term prediction, this is also nothing serious to get bothered with.
Seasonic this is from the very few, that warranty this is transferable among consumers.
When your needs change, you may resell it with the rest active warranty plan, to someone else.I love statistics, but forums activity this is a wrong factor which causes a huge measurement error.
The ones own RTX3000 this is 0.05% of total population of gamers over planet earth.
Cooler Master are after this tiny number of enthusiast, its just an advertising aimed to pass a message = we can build large PSU too at Guangdong the coast of the South China Sea.
