XPG, a fast-growing provider of systems, components, and peripherals for Gamers, Esports Pros, and Tech Enthusiasts, today announced the release of the XPG CORE REACTOR II series of 80 Plus GOLD modular power supply units. This new iteration of one of the greatest gaming PSUs ever to hit the market delivers the same highly reliable build quality and compact form factor that distinguished the previous exclusive, award-winning PSU typology, delivering stable, efficient, and consistent power and quiet operation with a well-balanced fan curve.

Delivering on XPG's commitment to implementing feedback from the community, CORE REACTOR II exhibits several improvements taken directly from user requests. This includes an updated sleek design more in line with its high performance, gaming focused DNA, as well as an additional form factor for new higher wattage classes, 1000 W and 1200 W respectively.



Next-Gen Ready - ATX 3.0 Compliant with 12VHPWR for PCIe 5.0 Applications
The XPG CORE REACTOR II GOLD power supply meets or surpasses all the latest Intel ATX 3.0 specification guidelines. It was specifically designed for high-end graphics cards and systems with large power consumption needs, while also offering quick and convenient full-modular cable management. As such, it includes a 12VHPWR (12+4 Pin) connector and cable right out of the box for PCIe 5.0 applications, offering reliability and compatibility with the latest and upcoming components.

Powerful Design & Premium Efficiency
The XPG CORE REACTOR II GOLD power supply series offers highly efficient power conversion. These units score on the higher side of 80 Plus Gold efficiency ratings, nearly reaching Platinum performance levels; delivering an outstanding efficiency performance of up to 89% at 20% load, 90.91% at 50% load, and 88% at 100% operating load. The CORE REACTOR II is an ideal choice for users who require both Gold efficiency and a well-designed fan curve. It's capable of supporting mid to high-end graphics cards and the latest processors. Depending on the wattage level you need, CORE REACTOR II comes in a variety of dimensions, available in both black and white. With five wattage options (650 W, 750 W, 850 W, 1000 W, 1200 W), there is a perfect unit for every system.

Comprehensive Protection and 10-Year Warranty Service
The XPG CORE REACTOR II GOLD series is covered by eight comprehensive industrial-grade protections (OPP, UVP, OVP, SCP, OTP, OCP, NLO, and SIP), and offers a worry-free 10-year warranty, so users can have peace of mind for years to come.

ATX 3.0 PSU Family - Shaping the Future
ATX 3.0 presents a fundamental shift in the PSU market. With the addition of CORE REACTOR II, XPG aims to lead this space as already shown earlier this year with the release of multiple award winning power supply units such as the best full-digital Titanium platform, XPG FUSION, as well as CYBERCORE II Platinum and KYBER Gold models, covering a wide range of needs for users of every type.

For those who don't know, the OG XPG Core Reactor PSU made the gold standard list on the Cultists Network PSU tier list. https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/
Yes, but two points to consider on this unit until it's properly reviewed:

1. That list is a reference, not a bible. Some cautionary reading is needed before blindly going for a unit based on what's recommended/listed.
2. There's no indication who's manufacturing this version of the Core Reactor. Some of the more knowledgeable users might provide clarity on this.
