Raijintek Intros Ampere Series ATX 3.0 PSUs with 80 Plus Platinum Rating

Raijintek over the weekend debuted the Ampere series of fully modular ATX 3.0 power supplies. The lineup currently only has a 1200 W model, but the company is working to add more variants based on wattage. This is Raijintek's first PSU series to meet 80 Plus Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum 230 V switching efficiency ratings. Although there's just the 1200 W variant, there are two color options, black and matte white. These impact not just the color of the PSU's body, but also the included modular cables. The PSU meets ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specifications, and includes a 600 W-capable 12V-2x6 modular cable. This is a more durable successor to the 12VHPWR connector that maintains compatibility with it.

Besides the 600 W 12V-2x6, and a 24-pin ATX, you get four 6+2 pin PCIe power, two 8-pin EPS, eight SATA power, three Molex, and one Berg. Under the hood, the Raijintek Ampere features a single +12 V rail design, with active PFC, LLC, and DC-to-DC switching. Protections are included against over/under voltage, overcurrent, overpower, and short-circuit. The PSU uses a 120 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan that can stay off up to 40% of +12 V load. The PSU measures 14 cm in length, which should play well with mid-tower cases, especially given its 1200 W wattage. The company didn't reveal pricing.

YEYIAN AIO Liquid Coolers and PSUs at CES 2024: Behold the 480 mm Radiator

YEYIAN at the 2024 International CES displayed some really wacky cooling and power solutions. Over in the cooling front, was got to see a super rare 480 mm AIO. This cooler has a 480 mm x 120 mm radiator, which requires four 120 mm in a row. We're not sure if there are any cases that support this radiator size, but we're sure it could become a thing. It would be interesting to compare the cooling performance of a 480 mm x 120 mm AIO with that of a 420 mm x 140 mm (a much more popular form-factor). YEYIAN's AIO coolers come in three sizes—360 mm x 120 mm, 480 mm x 120 mm, and 420 mm x 140 mm. The pump-blocks feature a 2.1-inch IPS LCD display with 480 x 480 pixels resolution, which can be programmed to display anything. Each of the included fans turn at speeds of up to 2600 RPM, pushing up to 72 CFM of airflow, with as high as 23 dBA noise.

Next up, YEYIAN showed off its Orion series full modular ATX 3.1 power supplies. These meet the latest ATX 3.1 and PCIe Gen 5 spec; and offer a native 12V-2x6 power connector, the successor to 12VHPWR with more mechanical durability, which can deliver 600 W of continuous power. The YEYIAN Orion series comes in 850 W, 1300 W, and 1600 W capacities, with the 1300 W and 1600 W models meeting 80 Plus Platinum efficiency; while the 850 W model meets 80 Plus Gold. All three are equipped with a 600 W-capable 12V-2x6; the top 1600 W offers two of these in case you have one of those crazy GALAX HOF RTX 4090 cards.

ENERMAX Shows New PSUs at CES 2024, Including the Smallest ATX 3.1 PSUs at 122mm

ENERMAX has showcased its new power supply lineup at the CES 2024 show in Las Vegas, including the new PlatiGemini and REVOLUTION D.F. 12 PSU series. The new PlatiGemini series is certified with Intel ATX 3.1 and ATX12VO compliance and features 80 Plus Platinum efficiency. What makes it special is the fact that it comes with both 24-pin ATX and 10-pin 12VO connectors, ensuring support for both current and future updates as well as bridging the gap between specifications. The ENERMAX PlatiGemini is a full modular PSU that comes will initially be available with 1200 W power output, uses 135 mm dual-ball bearing fan with patented Dust-free Rotation (D.F.R.) function, and comes with individually sleeved cables.

In addition to the new PlatiGemini PSU series, ENERMAX new REVOLUTION D.F 12 series which has been announced at CES 2024 show is one of the smallest ATX 3.1 power supply units on the market, where the 750 W version measures just 122 mm in depth. This means that it can also be installed in a Mini-ITX case without an additional SFX to ATX mounting bracket. As said, the REVOLUTION D.F 12 series meets Intel's ATX 3.1 standard, has 80 Plus Gold efficiency, and comes with native 600 W 12VHPWR connector. It uses a 115 mm dual-ball bearing fan with the same Dust-free Rotation (D.F.R.) function, features a silent mode where the fan is switched off below 50 percent power load.

Seasonic Launches Updated Prime PX and Prime TX ATX 3.0 Power Supplies

Seasonic has launched the updated Prime PX 1600 Watt PSU that TPU spotted at Computex earlier this month, alongside two new Prime TX models at 1300 and 1600 Watt. The three models all adhere to the ATX 3.0 standard, unlike its predecessors. However, it appears that Seasonic hasn't as yet, at least, decided to update its lower Wattage models to the ATX 3.0 standard. Both 1600 Watt models feature a pair of 12VHPWR connectors, whereas the 1300 Watt model gets to make do with a single 12VHPWR connector. All three models feature no less than nine CPU/PCIe 12 V connectors and six peripheral connectors for modular cables.

The Prime PX is rated for 80 Plus Platinum and the Prime TX for 80 Plus Titanium and this appears to be the only major difference between the two models. Other interesting features include a 135 mm fan with fluid dynamic bearings and a digital hybrid fan control, as well as a bundles basic PSU tester. Both models also come with a 12 year warranty. Price wise, the Prime PX-1600 will retail for US$509.99/€459.99, with the Prime TX-1300 going for US$519.99/€479.99 and finally the Prime TX-1600 will set you back US$609.99/€549.99, suggesting a steep price premium for only a marginally more efficient PSU.

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.
