ADATA XPG Core Reactor ATX 2.4

Throughout all of our testing, the XPG Core Reactor performed exceptionally well. Not that we’d incidentally expect anything less in regards to anything that came out of the ADATA factory. Without a doubt, however, some of the key performance highlights was the exceptionally strong efficiency rating found in our testing and the superb 400 watt ‘overhead’ offered in the OPP test.

The flagship Core Reactor model performed as well as its 750 W sibling, as it stood its ground as an equal against the likes of the Corsair RM850 and Seasonic Focus Plus Gold of similar capacity. The soon to be replaced EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G3 and highly popular Corsair RM850x achieve about 2% higher overall performance, but are not compatible with alternative sleep mode or efficient enough with 2% load for the newest ATX specification.

This is an impressive first entry into the popular 750 W category by XPG. These guys were smart enough to hire a PSU expert (Mr. Alvin Chan) with a long history in the field. He used to work for Bitfenix and was responsible for their top-grade Whisper and Formula lines. The Core Reactor series slots in after the RMx and Focus Plus lines, offering equally high-performance levels and the same warranty of 10 years.

Viele Empfehlungen wurden bereits für Netzteile mit einem Wirkungsgrad nach 80Plus Gold im Preisbereich um 100 Euro ausgesprochen. Optimierungen an Effizienz und Lautstärke sind aber auch im Jahr 2021 noch Stellschrauben für erfolgreiche Weiterentwicklungen, wie sie Corsair RM650x und XPG Core Reactor 650W im Test darstellen.
