Know before you buy
ATX 3.1 compliance ensures the power supply is designed to handle the high transient power spikes common in modern, high-performance graphics cards. It also includes the updated 12V-2x6 connector, which provides a more secure and reliable power delivery for the latest generation of GPUs.
Yes, the C1000 is fully modular, meaning every cable can be detached from the unit. This is a major advantage for cable management, as it allows you to use only the cables your specific components require, keeping your PC case clean and improving airflow.
Zero Fan Mode allows the 135mm fan to remain completely stationary during low-load tasks, such as web browsing or light office work. The fan only spins up when the power supply reaches a certain temperature threshold, ensuring silent operation when you aren't pushing your system hard.
The unit is built with 100% Japanese capacitors, which are widely considered the industry standard for longevity and heat resistance. These components are chosen specifically to ensure stable power delivery and a longer lifespan for the power supply.
Yes, the C1000 follows the standard ATX form factor, making it compatible with the vast majority of mid-tower and full-tower PC cases on the market. Just ensure your case has enough clearance for a standard-sized power supply unit.
No, this specific model does not support universal input voltage. You should ensure that your local electrical grid matches the power supply's requirements before installation.
