We would like to thank Chieftronic for supplying the review sample.


Chieftronic is Chieftec's gaming sub-brand. Currently, its portfolio only lists two cases and two PSU lines. Their flagship PSU product is the PowerPlay 1050 W (GPU-1050FC). Not only is its capacity high, but it also features 80 PLUS Platinum and Cybenetics ETA-A and LAMBDA-Standard+ certifications. For its high capacity, overall noise output (35 dBA) is quite low. For the moment, this product is only available in the EU.

The GPU-1050FC uses a high-end platform from CWT (Channel Well Technology), which I have also seen in the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 1050 W and Toughpower iRGB PLUS 1200 W. This is a semi-digital platform where two MCUs control the entire primary side and part of the secondary side. The DC-DC converters that generate the minor rails use an analog PWM controller.
