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.

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.

Cybenetics lists the 12V-2x6 cable at 645 mm and 150 mm less 5 mm spacing for SATA, which are not stored. The overview says the 12V-2x6 connector pumps up to 600 watts. The panel has five CPU and PCI-E sockets and one 12V-2x6 socket, so all cables can be used at once (maker product photo).2Measurementcybenetics.com/evaluations/psus/2447Read 14 October 2026Cables and Connectors table: ATX 16-20AWG, 4+4 pin EPS 16AWG, 8 pin EPS 16AWG, 6+2 pin PCIe 16-18AWG, 12+4 pin PCIe (600W) 16-24AWG, SATA 18AWG, Molex 18AWG, no in-cable capacitors. The 16-24AWG range for the 12V-2x6 cable includes the thin sideband wires, so no gauge is stored for it.

The retail box table of the 850W unit (photo in the XtremeHardware review), the installation guide and an earlier copy of this page in that review give 610, 650, 750, 720 and 450 mm and two 4-SATA cables plus one 2-SATA + 2-Molex cable, on 5 CPU|PCIe and 3 SATA|Molex sockets, which matches the Phanteks product render. The box and guide values are stored and the conflict with the current page text is noted for review. The 12V-2x6 cable is 450W on the page, the box and the review, while retailers print 600W.4Owner's manualphanteks.com/manuals/AMP_GH_Installation_Guide_v1.1.pdfRead 16 October 2026Cable table for the whole GH range: motherboard 24-pin 610 mm, CPU 4+4-pin 650 mm, PCIe 6+2-pin 750 mm, 12V-2x6 720 mm, SATA 4 plugs 450 mm with 150 mm spacing, SATA and Molex 2 and 2 plugs 450 mm. It says the amount of cables may vary by model, so the counts per cable type come from the retail box table of the 850W unit.9Reviewxtremehardware.com/recensioni/14837-phanteks-amp-gh-850-recensioneRead 16 October 2026The box photo of the 850W unit prints a cable table with cable number, connectors per cable and length: 24-pin 1 cable 610 mm, CPU 2 cables 650 mm, PCIe 6+2 3 cables 750 mm, 12V-2x6 1 cable 720 mm, SATA 2 cables with 4 plugs each (450 mm then 150 mm spacing), SATA and Molex 1 cable with 2 SATA and 2 Molex plugs (450 mm then 150 mm spacing). The text names the same cables and the maker spec table copy in the review shows 5 CPU|PCIe and 3 SATA|Molex sockets. The text puts the cable length between 610 mm and 750 mm.

Cable styleiHow the modular cables are made. Mixed means some cables are sleeved and others flat, such as a sleeved 24-pin cable with flat other cables. From the maker page or a review photo page.

Mixed1Maker product pagenzxt.com/product/c1200-gold-atxRead 14 October 2026The maker's cable graphic in the Fully Modular feature shows the 24-pin, both CPU and the PCIe 6+2-pin cables with a mesh sleeve and the SATA and peripheral cables as plain flat wire. It is a drawing and not a photo, and the page text does not name the cable style.

Sleeved9Reviewxtremehardware.com/recensioni/14837-phanteks-amp-gh-850-recensioneRead 16 October 2026Text: every included cable has individually sleeved wires with a textured rubber coating that imitates a paracord sleeve. The bundle photo shows round, individually sleeved wires and no flat ribbon cables. The maker calls them individually textured cables. Stored as sleeved because none of flat, embossed or mixed fits.

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.

All-Japanese capacitorsiThe maker states that every electrolytic capacitor is from a Japanese maker. A Japanese bulk capacitor alone is not enough. A spec row such as "Japanese capacitors" that names no exception counts.
