CONCLUSION

   Raidmax has released quite a few PSUs in the past which didn’t get the best “scores” by media around the world so when we were told that the Vampire RX-1000GH was on its way here I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical and the insufficient packaging along with the two “naked” hardwired PCI-E cables only made things worse. Fortunately during testing we encountered no issues whatsoever and as you can all tell just by looking at our charts even with a power consumption exceeding the 1KW mark the unit produced very good rail stability (although far from excellent) without being noisy in the process. Design is also one of the strong points the Vampire RX-1000GH has although it would had been so much better had Raidmax made it completely modular.

   Recommending the Vampire RX-1000GH to all of you is something that largely depends on its current price tag and if you had to spend as much as you would for a 1KW PSU by one of the leading brands it would be very difficult for us to do. However that’s not the case since as we speak the Raidmax Vampire RX-1000GH retails for just 114.99Euros inside the EU from PC-Cooling.de (USA pricing is also similar) a price tag which is far less than what you’d have to pay for a 750W 80 Plus Gold certified model by one of the leading brands in the market. With that in mind not only do we highly recommend taking a look but we also give it our Golden Award.
