NZXT’s new Gold Core PSUs are Cybenetics Platinum-rated

NZXT has unveiled its new C Series Gold Core family of power supplies, a new mainstream lineup positioned just below its premium Gold series. The new PSUs are fully compliant with the latest ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards and are available in 750W, 850W, and 1000W models.

According to TechPowerUp, all three units are fully modular and feature a compact 15 cm-long chassis, making them easy to build with. The connector loadouts are ready for modern hardware, with the C750 Gold Core offering one 12V-2×6 connector rated for 300W alongside two standard 8-pin PCIe connectors. The higher-wattage C850 and C1000 models both provide a 600W-capable 12V-2×6 connection in addition to three 8-pin PCIe connectors. All models in the series feature dual 8-pin EPS connectors, ideal for systems that use the auxiliary power connectors on the motherboards.

Perhaps the most interesting detail is the efficiency rating. While these units are officially certified as 80 Plus Gold, they have also achieved the higher Cybenetics Platinum rating for efficiency. Noise levels should also be very low, with the 750W model earning a top-tier Cybenetics Acoustics A++ rating (A+ on remaining models), aided by a 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan with a zero-RPM mode at low loads.

NZXT is backing the series with a 7-year warranty, though the company has not yet announced final pricing.

KitGuru says: Compared to the NZXT Gold non-Core models, these new ones are rated as quieter and more efficient. If priced well, these could be a good solution for anyone seeking a compact and relatively quiet ATX PSU.
