Seasonic VERTEX GX-1000 Power Supply Unboxing / Mainstream Gold ATX 3.0, PCIe 5.0
Haiyun Seasonic’s first ATX 3.0 standard new power supply is the first to launch the mainstream style “VERTEX GX” gold medal series, and the same style will also be launched with the PX series that has passed the 80 PLUS platinum certification. Of course, the flagship Prime will be updated sooner or later. New power specification up to ATX 3.0.
VERTEX GX offers 1200W, 1000W, and 850W specifications. It adopts active PFC, LLC full-bridge resonance, and DC-DC synchronous rectification design with a single 12V output to meet the high current and wattage required by modern CPUs and GPUs. It is also equipped with 135mm FDB The fan can replace power supply and heat dissipation more effectively to ensure stable power supply.
In addition, the tested VERTEX GX-1000 is only 160 x 150 x 86 mm in size, compatible with all kinds of ATX case installation, and adopts a full modular connector design, and the wire is a full black embossed round modular cable , the module cable is not only of good texture but also relatively more organized and integrated; while the VERTEX GX series power supply has OPP, OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP, SCP and other protection mechanisms, as well as a 10-year warranty, so that players can use their computers with peace of mind.

In addition to the power switch, there is also a Hybrid Mode switch on the side of the AC power input. When Hybrid Mode is enabled, the power supply will be in Fanless mode when the load is less than 50%, and the fan noise will be kept at 20dBA when the load exceeds 50%. The level allows players to have a quiet gaming experience.

VERTEX GX-1000 Regardless of the MB, CPU / PCIe, and peripheral module cables, all use black round wires with embossed textures. The round wires are fixed with straps, which have better flexibility and are relatively small in size. It can be more effective to complete and manage the wires during DIY installation.

The power supply provides a PCIe 16 Pin 12VHPWR connector with a cable length of 750mm. The module of the connector is quite solid. When plugging in the power supply and graphics card, you need to pay attention to the sound of “cup” entering, or make sure that the cable is completely inserted into the connector .
In addition, the outlet of the connector is deliberately bent by hand. This connector is stronger than the adapter cable attached to the graphics card, but you still need to pay attention to the length of 35mm and 3.5cm at the outlet of the connector when using it.

Summarize
The power consumption of i9-13900KS and RTX 4090 dual-burning is 916W, which has reached nearly 90% of the high load of the tested “VERTEX GX-1000”. Yes, meet the stable power requirements required by high-end CPUs and GPUs.
However, if the player chooses the flagship i9, R9 and RTX 40 high-end graphics card, it is recommended that the power supply should be at least 1000W in wattage, and the original PCIe 16 pin 12VHPWR connector and module cable of the new power supply, compared with the graphics card comes with The adapter has better durability, but when DIY installation, you still need to pay attention to leaving at least 35mm and 3.5cm of wire length at the outlet of the connector, and ensure that the connector is completely inserted into the socket.
The Haiyun Seasonic VERTEX GX-1000 new power supply is priced at NT$ 6,490 in Taiwan. It adopts the new generation of ATX 3.0 specification, supports PCIe 16 Pin 12VHPWR connector, and is equipped with a 135mm FDB fan. It has also passed the 80 PLUS gold certification to meet the stable power supply requirements of flagship players. needed.
