Power Zone 2 1000W PSU - 80 PLUS Platinum, ATX 3.1 is a fully modular ATX 3.1 power supply aimed at builders of high-end gaming and media creation systems who need reliable, efficient power delivery with minimal noise. It addresses the challenge of powering current and next-generation graphics cards while keeping acoustic output low, combining dual Platinum efficiency certifications with a semi-passive 140mm fan that shuts off entirely under light load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Platinum efficiency up to 94.0%\u003c\/strong\u003e — Certified by both 80 PLUS Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum, it achieves up to 94.0% energy efficiency — meaning less heat generated, lower electricity draw, and quieter operation overall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSemi-passive zero-RPM fan mode\u003c\/strong\u003e — Under low load the Pure Wings 3 140mm fan stops completely. A 2–5 minute post-ventilation cooldown prevents the fan from cycling on and off repeatedly, keeping noise to a minimum during everyday use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eATX 3.1 ready with native 12V-2x6 connector\u003c\/strong\u003e — A native 90° angled 12V-2x6 connector supports PCIe 5.1 graphics cards out of the box, alongside three PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for current-generation GPUs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandles power excursions up to double rated output\u003c\/strong\u003e — A single high-performance 12V rail delivers 1000W continuous power and can manage transient power excursions up to double that figure, keeping modern CPUs and GPUs stable under sudden spikes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully

Platinum, resulting in an energy efficiency rating of up to 94.0%. This results in lower power consumption, overall cooler and quieter operation, and many other benefits for your high-end system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large Pure Wings 3 140mm fan is keeping Power Zone 2 1000W cool. While under low load, the fan turns off completely until its services are needed again for more demanding operations. This post-ventilation requires a short cooldown period of 2-5 minutes to avoid frequent and annoying starts and stops of the fan. Combined with the large fan for active cooling, this power supply is exceptionally silent in all load scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo power supply is like the other. Hence, we have altered aspects of our renowned Pure Wings 3 140mm fan to make it the perfect match for Power Zone 2 1000W. The fan offers outstanding reliability and makes for a long-lasting companion. Due to its large diameter, the fan cools the interior of the PSU efficiently and quietly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Zone 2 1000W is an ATX 3.1 PSU and comes with both native integration of the 12V-2x6 connector for next-generation PCIe 5.1 graphics cards, and 3 PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for support of current-gen GPUs. A 90° angled 12V-2x6 connector in the scope of delivery leaves no doubt that this PSU is here to stay. All of this makes Power Zone 2 1000W extremely versatile and the perfect choice for powerful systems of today and the ones to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Zone 2 offers 1000W of continuous power with one massive 12V rail. Even if the graphics card demands excessive power for a short time: Power Zone 2 1000W handles power excursions up to double its rated power with ease. This ensures reliable operation with the next generation of processors and graphics cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its LLC topology, the Power Zone 2 1000W offers best-in-class voltage regulation and efficiency. This makes it perfect for building very quiet systems or upgrading gaming and media creation PCs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inner values are what everyone cares about most in a power supply, but looks cannot be completely ignored. That is why the Power Zone 2 1000W has a distinctive look with a newly designed mesh front. In addition, all cable designations are printed directly on the PSU's case for a long-lasting impression and an unparalleled look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ebe quiet!\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eArticle Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eBP008US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eForm Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eATX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eATX Version\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eATX 3.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eEPS Version\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2.92\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e150 x 86 x 160 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower \u0026amp;
