INTRODUCTION

    With AMD, NVIDIA and Intel all gearing up to unveil their upcoming GPUs this is probably the best time for people who are looking to upgrade their power supply units (or built a new system) to do so. As always having too many choices in the market is a double edged sword since on one hand it's always good to have variety but at the same time choosing is not the easiest task when you have that many models in front of you. DeepCool made a name for themselves with their very good CPU cooling solutions but for the past 3-4 years their power supply solutions have also gained ground and today with me I have one of their latest models, the PX1000P.

    Established in 1996, DeepCool is a global brand in designing and manufacturing high-performance computer components for enthusiasts worldwide that includes CPU coolers, PC cases, Power Supplies, Peripherals, and more. With a strong background in independent research and development, DeepCool continues to provide high-quality products, premium customer service, and incredible value to our dedicated customers.

     The latest PX-P line of fully modular ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 power supply units includes just two outputs (1000/1300W) both of which are 80 PLUS Platinum certified (up to 92% electrical efficiency) and feature semi-digital interleaved PFC, full-bridge LLC topology and DC to DC dual main capacitor design. The 1000W variant which I have here with me today sports a single strong +12V rail (83.3A) capable of outputting roughly 99.9% of the units’ total power output (999.6W), has a peak power output of 1138W (up to 2000W for 100ms according to ATX 3.0 specs – typically this is not something I can test however), secondary minor rails with a total output of 138.6W, 600W 12VHPWR PCIe cable, low profile (flat) cables, 5 PCIe 6+2 pin connectors, 120mm FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) fan semi-fanless mode, 100% Japanese capacitors and an array of electrical protections including over-current (OCP), over-voltage (OVP), over-power (OPP), surge and inrush protection (SIP), over-temperature (OTP), short-circuit (SCP), no load operation (NLO) and under-voltage (UVP). Unlike past lines DeepCool has once again given the maximum warranty at their disposal so the PX1000P/PX1300P models are both covered by a generous 12-year limited one.
