DeepCool PX-G Series

This is an interesting power supply, as it’s plenty powerful and can deliver big wattages at a competitive price. However, I just don’t think it quite meets the standards set by the competition. This is interesting, as the interior design is clearly mostly identical to that of the Silverstone DA1000R, but with a few capacitors swapped out to deal with the higher wattages. The Silverstone performed a little bit better, but with less noise on the 12v, 3.3v and 5vsb, so I suspect the double capacitor design of the PX1200G is to blame there. While Silverstone ran a similar platform for 1000W, it required very little cooling, with zero RPM fan mode retained until 60% load, and only 876 RPM at maximum load. Meanwhile, the 1200W from Deepcool only worked with a zero RPM fan below 40% load, and the fan was maxing out around 1500-1700 RPM to keep it cool, not that it ran particularly hot, but just seemed to be a little too proactive with its fan curve. The build quality is excellent though, with 100% Japanese capacitors throughout, and the overall construction is fantastic on the interior, with thick gauge wiring, robust-looking solder, and a good overall layout that’s beneficial to airflow and cooling. I love that it’s fully modular too, and little details like the DeepCool logo colour-matched power button and 12VHPWR connector look pretty cool too. There’s no big branding sticker on the side either, which is a nice change from what we usually see, and I like small details like that.

The Deepcool PX1200G is identical to the Montech Titan Gold 1200W and the Thermaltake GF3 1200W, covered by the same ten-year warranty. It offers ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatibility, as the models mentioned above, and has a unique exterior degisn, but is the latter enough to make it preferable?

After several months in the market ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 compliant power supply units seem to have pretty much replaced their predecessors and even though the PCIe 6.0 standard is already a thing the simple truth is that these are more than enough to cover the needs of the market for many years to come. Yes, not every single company out there has updated their PSU lines to include ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 compliant models but most as expected already have (so it's a safe bet that your favourite company already has at least one). DeepCool is one of the latest manufacturers to have one such product line and so today with me i have their PX1000G model.

The Deepcool PX1000G offers ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatibility, and has a unique exterior degisn, which you will either like or hate.

Today's review turns the spotlight toward DeepCool’s PSUs and, more specifically, the PX850G 850W ATX 3.0 PSU, which currently is their most popular power supply. The PX850G is engineered to balance all-around performance with reliability and cost, all while providing ATX 3.0 compliance. It is based on a highly popular high-output platform but, strangely, DeepCool rated the PX850G for operation up to 40°C.

The Deepcool PX850G ahieves good overall performance and offers ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatibility. Its exterior design is unique, but it won’t be appealing to all users.
