Powercolor Extreme Series 1000W Power Supply Review
 

It seems that many companies have 'jumped upon the PSU wagon' in recent years with Corsair, Sapphire and XFX all having dipped their toes into the market with various levels of success. Recently Tul Corporation, or 'Powercolor' as they are more commonly known announced their intentions to enter this sector with a new range of Extreme 1000W, 750W and Gaming 600W and 500W units, targeting both mid range and high end sectors.


The Powercolor Extreme Series 1000W is an impressive first foray into a new market and for those who love a sexy looking power supply, then we feel that you can’t really get a better looking unit than this right now. It is the ‘American Muscle Car’ of the PSU world.

They say beauty is only skin deep, however not in the case of the Powercolor Extreme Series 1000W which delivers efficiency above the required levels for 80 Plus Bronze Certification. It incorporates a very capable fan design, combining low noise levels with good airflow. It is only audible into the top 25% of its rated power output which can’t fail to impress.

The build quality is stellar with some of the highest quality cabling we have seen to date, everything is sleeved, and the main cable entering into the PSU is double sleeved with rubber for improved long term safety. The fact they have labelled each modular connector makes sure that even newbies don’t end up scratching their heads in confusion. Internally, Powercolor have used industrial grade 105c japanese capacitors which are sure to deliver stable, reliable power for many years.
