KITGURU SHORTLISTS: THE BEST POWER SUPPLY OF 2022

These new 1,200 watt and 1,500 watt units are digitally regulated (PFC and SR/12V) and have a wire free interior design on the AC and DC side. According to the company high grade components are used throughout, which goes some way to justify the high asking price (£369.99 for the 1,200 watt and £419.99 for the 1,500 watt). As you may already guessed by the price points these are the German company's flagship units.

This model measures 150 x 86 x 170 mm (W x H x D) and is equipped with a 135mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan (FDB) which can operate in semi passive mode. This is a flagship Seasonic supply, priced at around £185 in the United Kingdom. Titanium rated power supplies are expensive, but guarantee maximum efficiency ratings. The single rail is rated to 54A and Seasonic cover this unit with a substantial 12 year warranty.

It has been quite some time since we looked at a new supply from FSP, so when they offered us a model from their PTM Pro range I was excited to see what they had to offer in 2020. This new model is Platinum certified, fully modular and incorporates Japanese capacitors. FSP are also offering a 10 year warranty with these new power supplies.

Corsair's RM1000x is a very complete package, load regulation is solid, and it dealt with our cross load test without any difficulty. Efficiency levels are excellent, and ripple suppression is stellar across the board. There are no discernible technical weaknesses with this unit that would cause us any concern.

Seasonic have been releasing award winning power supplies now for as long as we can remember, and their latest SGX-750 modular power supply scored very highly in our test results during the review process. This is a fully modular unit, designed with a small physical footprint (100mm deep) to ensure maximum compatibility with small form factor chassis. As we would expect from Seasonic, the outer chassis is finished to a very high level and the neutral colour scheme will appeal to enthusiast users focusing on a themed build.
