1,000W7Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2542Read 15 October 2026DUT Information: Rated Power 1000 W. The Power Specifications table gives a total maximum power of 1000 W.

Full power rated up toiThe ambient temperature up to which the maker rates full continuous power, such as 50 °C. A review table that prints 0-50 °C with no maker source is not enough. An operating temperature range that does not say full power is not enough. A maker table with load steps gives the full-load row, such as 40 °C at full load next to 50 °C at 80 percent load. A temperature that a Cybenetics report marks as manufacturer-provided counts as a maker statement.

+3.3V and +5V combined poweriThe combined limit for the +3.3V and +5V rails from the maker's power table. A table that prints the same figure under both rails, as be quiet! does, shows one shared limit, so the figure is stored once and not added.

120W7Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2542Read 15 October 2026Power Specifications table: one merged cell of 120 W under +3.3V and +5V, so it is one shared limit. Each rail is 20 A.

Cables and connectors

4 of 7 differ

CablesiOne row per kind of cable that runs from the PSU to a device. Connector is the plug at the device end. Count is the number of those plugs over all cables in the row. Length runs from the PSU end to the first plug. Adapters that plug into other cables are left out. Use 16-pin PCIe when the maker names a 16-pin GPU cable without saying 12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR. A cable from a 12V-2x6 socket on the PSU to 8-pin plugs is a cable, not an adapter, and counts as PCIe 8-pin. When the maker's documents name one GPU cable both 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6, use 16-pin PCIe and name both in the source note. Cables of one connector kind with different lengths or wire gauges get one row each.

The slide counts cables. Cybenetics and the ASCII review show that two of the three PCIe cables carry two plugs each, so the unit has 5 PCIe 8-pin plugs on 3 cables. SATA is 9 plugs on 3 cables and Molex is 3 plugs on 1 cable. The ASRock spec table on Inside Tech prints 2 for 12+4 pin, which Cybenetics, BuildCores, Geeknetic and ASCII do not show. One cable is stored.5Reviewweekly.ascii.jp/elem/000/004/243/4243655Read 15 October 2026Cables in the box: 1 ATX 20+4 pin, 2 EPS 4+4 pin, 1 12V-2x6 rated to 600 W, 3 PCIe 6+2 pin, 3 SATA cables with 9 SATA plugs and 1 peripheral cable with 3 plugs.

The stored lengths are the maker's lengths from ASRock's Cables Included slide. The 16-24AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the thin sideband wires, so the 16AWG power wire gauge is stored. The sample is the same for the black and white models.

The 16-26AWG range of the 12V-2x6 cable includes the thin sideband wires, so the stored gauge is the 16AWG power wire. Hardware Busters says the PSU has one 12V-2x6 socket and the second 12V-2x6 cable ends in two 8-pin plugs, which matches the 650+100 mm PCIe cable. That cable shares the socket and cannot be used together with the native 12V-2x6 cable. Cybenetics counts the Y-type SATA cable as 2 cables, while the maker lists 1 Y-type cable, so 1 cable is stored.

Protection and parts

ProtectionsiProtections the maker lists, or a retailer spec table copies from the maker, plus protections the Cybenetics protection tests show working (UVP, NLO, SIP). The Cybenetics manufacturer list has no OVP or UVP row, so do not build the list from it alone. A protection that is not listed may still exist. No-load covers no-load operation and no-load protection. Fan failure is a maker's fan failure protection or fan safeguard, also when the Cybenetics manufacturer block lists it.
