INTRODUCTION

    A stable system starts with stable power. The PSU’s job is simple in theory but demanding in execution, deliver clean energy, handle sudden load shifts, and stay cool and quiet while doing it. Not all units manage that balance, and the difference becomes obvious when a system is pushed to its limits. Good electrical performance translates directly into smoother operation, quieter thermals, and fewer surprises during long‑term use. With that in mind, today we’re examining MOAIPLAY’s ORA PRO G1 1000W, a unit targeting users who want dependable and whisper quiet power for their systems.

    MOAIPLAY is dedicated to developing high-performance PC hardware that balances superior quality with affordability. By focusing on "affordable price but better performance," we empower gamers and creators with the reliable heart their systems deserve. LEGENDS PLAY ON!

    The ORA PRO G1 line includes 750/850/1000W output models all of which are fully modular and Cybenetics Gold certified (up to 89% electrical efficiency). The 1000W unit which I've had on my test bench for over a week now features a single 12V-2x6 power connector (600W), three 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors, single strong +12V rail (83A) capable of delivering 99% of the units’ total power output (996W) and a maximum power output of no less than 1144W (peak should now be up equal or more than 2.3KW for up to 100ms - once again however this is not something i can test). The ORA PRO G1 also sports half-bridge & LLC Resonant Converter with DC to DC design, active PFC, zero fan mode for its 148mm fan (starts spinning after a certain load), high-quality Japanese capacitors certified for use up to 105 degrees Celsius and a full array of electrical protections including over-current (OCP), over-voltage (OVP), under-voltage (UVP), short-circuit (SCP), over-temperature (OTP), surge and in-rush (SIP), no-load operation (NLO) and over-power (OPP). As for warranty even though MOAIPLAY is the new kid on the block they do cover the entire ORA PRO G1 line of PSUs with a 10-year limited one.

SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES

PACKAGING AND CONTENTS

Certifications, main features and a product picture are all located at the front of the box.

Numerous certifications, available power cables and the electrical table are placed on the right side.

Two product pictures and the main features of the ORA PRO G1 are located at the rear.

Typically, the unit is placed between two pieces of foam.

Along with the ORA PRO G1 1000W inside the box you'll also find the power cord (strangely enough my sample didn't come with an EU one), modular cables with storage pouch, 6 cable ties, 4 cable straps, 4 mounting screws and the user manual.

THE ORA PRO G1 1000 EXTERIOR

This model comes with low-profile modular cables as seen above.

The ORA PRO G1 1000W measures 152mm in length, 150mm in width and 86mm in height.

As of now MOAIPLAY is the only company to have fitted an 148mm fan into one such unit.

The model name is printed on both sides of the enclosure.

As usual the electrical table is printed on a sticker located at the base of the PSU.

All 12 power ports at the front are different in size and tagged.

At the rear we find the power on/off and zero fan mode switches and the power port.

THE ORA PRO G1 1000 INTERIOR

The 148mm fluid-dynamic bearing fan used is manufactured by Yate Loon and can reach speeds up to 1400RPM to produce up to 62CFM of airflow with just 29dB of noise.

Dongguan Sanren (SANR) is the OEM behind the ORA PRO G1 1000W and if memory serves this is the 1st PSU I've ever tested manufactured by them.

Primary capacitors are manufactured by Nippon Chemi-Con and are certified for use up to 105 degrees Celsius.

Secondary capacitors are manufactured by Nippon Chemi-Con and Rubycon and are also certified for use up to 105 degrees Celsius.

TESTING METHODOLOGY

     Using a dedicated measurement instrument such as a Chroma or a SunMoon to test power supply units is without doubt the most ideal and accurate way (not to mention the fastest) to do that currently. However, it's certainly not the only way there is and so pretty much anyone can test a power supply unit just by using a test rig. Certainly, limitations do apply and so you can't really push a 1000W power supply to its limits if your system only uses 500W at peak loads and that's why over the years we saved certain hardware components for the purpose of building a dedicated PSU test rig. True it may not be as accurate as the above-mentioned solutions, but it comes really close and is in fact much closer to real world usage. So as always, we ran several games with maximum graphic options enabled at a resolution of 2560x1600 in order to stress every hardware component and increase the overall power demands of the system. The Passmark BurnIn Test was also used to overstress the components in an effort to provide the most accurate results possible. As a final test we also used the latest OCCT software and its dedicated PSU testing suite since it can really bring a power supply to its knees after inside a few minutes.

   Rail stability was checked/measured with the CPUID Hardware monitor and a Metex multimeter which also recorded the system load in idle and in load. As always try to remember that the power consumption numbers listed in the graph are the highest (Peak) ones recorded during the entire duration of the tests and not the average ones. Noise levels coming from the fan were recorded using the high precision HD600 ExTech Sound dBA Meter from the rear of the unit and at a range of no more than 5-10cm. Readings under load are recorded the exact moment we manually switch the fans of all graphics cards from full speed to almost zero, that way the fan of the power supply does not have enough time to slow its RPM and so by doing this we get very accurate noise level readings. Needless to say, in order to get 100% accurate readings, you need to have a noise isolated room for that exact purpose, something which is quite impossible unless you are working inside a real lab (some people use very small noise insulated boxes but due to their size both heat and noise exceed normal levels and so the results can't really be considered to be 100% accurate, nor realistic for that matter). Also do take into account that since all noise measurements take place from just 5-10cm away the final noise levels to reach your ears will be considerably less.

* After well over 10 years of testing PSUs the Intel Core i7-920 CPU of this rig failed and so we replaced it with a Xeon X5660 (we also swapped the GA-X58A-UD7 for the G1. Assassin).

TEST RESULTS

CONCLUSION

    The ORA PRO G1 1000W by MOAIPLAY leaves a solid first impression for a debut unit. Its low noise profile (thanks to using an 148mm FDB fan) is genuinely one of its strongest traits, staying effectively silent even when the system leans on it. Rail stability is also handled well, with consistent behavior under load and no signs of erratic voltage movement. Build quality feels competent throughout, suggesting that MOAIPLAY took care with component selection (Japanese capacitors) and assembly. Still, two factors may give some buyers pause, that the OEM is a lesser‑known Chinese manufacturer, and the decision to pursue Cybenetics certification instead of the more familiar and well established 80 PLUS route. Neither is inherently negative, but both can certainly influence perception.

    At this time the ORA PRO G1 1000 power supply unit by MOAIPLAY retails for just USD89.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and so it’s priced very well (unfortunately I wasn’t able to locate it inside the EU). Overall, the ORA PRO G1 1000 may not be the best PSU out there but it delivers good performance while at the same time being virtually inaudible so if we also take into account add the all-Japanese capacitors and cost the Golden Award is in order.
