Today we are taking a look at the new ProSeries 1000W Platinum PSU. It should offer enough power for nearly everyone out there and do so at high efficiency. DC output quality was OK from start to finish. Starting out, we were clearly able to see a ripple on the scope during Test 1 where we measured noise at a low 12mV peak to peak.
This steadily increased as the loads also increased. By the time we had reached around 50% load, the unit ripple had crept up to 33mV. Under full load, we saw that the noise on the 12V rail had crept up to 53mV.
The XFX ProSeries 1000W is rated for 80Plus Platinum efficiency. This means that the power supply must perform at 90%/92%/89% efficiency at 20%/50%/100% loads respectively. As you can see, the XFX ProSeries managed to score a pass while on our test bench. There were several times that the power supply was right on the edge. This would explain why the 1050W ProSeries PSU is only rated for 80Plus Gold efficiency.
XFX has a great power supply with the ProSeries 1000W. It is loaded with features, has great cable selection and a ton of power to handle just about whatever you can throw at it. Source
