Know before you buy
Yes, it includes a native 12VHPWR connector designed to support next-generation graphics cards with up to 600W of power delivery.
Fully modular means every cable can be detached from the power supply. This allows you to use only the cables your system requires, which significantly reduces clutter and improves airflow inside your case.
Yes, the MWE Gold 1250 V2 is backward compatible with older systems. It follows standard ATX form factor requirements, making it suitable for a wide range of builds.
The 80 PLUS Gold rating guarantees at least 90% efficiency at typical loads. This means the unit wastes less power as heat, which can lead to lower electricity costs and a cooler-running system.
The 140mm fan is designed for quiet operation while maintaining high airflow. Its larger size allows it to move more air at lower speeds compared to smaller fans, keeping noise levels manageable even under load.
Japanese capacitors are widely regarded for their superior heat resistance and long-term durability. Using them ensures the power supply remains stable and reliable over many years of consistent use.
