CONCLUSION

   Sharkoon may not focus a lot in the release of power supply units but models like the Rebel P30 are actually quite good across the board. This applies to build quality, rail stability and of course features including several electrical protections. Noise emanating from the 135mm Globe Fan does become noticeable at 100% load (and slightly more than that in my tests) but once again I doubt anyone will be buying an 1KW unit to max it out so chances are your graphics card and CPU coolers will probably mask noise coming from the PSU. My sole “issue” with the Rebel P30 line has to do with warranty and here Sharkoon with their 2 year limited warranty clearly falls behind their direct competition. Yes, warranty may not be a big issue when talking about mid-end models but it makes sense for consumers to go for a unit that has a 5 or even a 10-year limited warranty instead of 2 (so i do hope Sharkoon looks into this).

   At the time of this review the Sharkoon Rebel P30 1000W ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 power supply unit retails for 211.18Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is more or less balanced for what you’re getting. The Rebel P30 1000W model may not be the perfect PSU and yes, the somewhat lacking warranty doesn’t help things but still it’s a good PSU overall which is certainly worth the attention of EU based consumers.
