This power supply complies with the ATX 3.0 specification, supports 12+4pin PCIe Gen 5.0 power supply, and provides a large number of 8pin connectors as well as 12VHPWR connectors. It uses Japanese capacitors and has 80 Plus Bronze efficiency certification.

The Smart BM3 Bronze series is compatible with the Intel ATX 3.0 standard, supports 200% power overload, and can achieve 60% efficiency at 2% load.

In addition, the power supply features a 120mm FDB fan, which also supports intelligent fan stop to minimize noise. According to reports, its fan will only start to spin when the load exceeds 20%, and users can also turn on and off the fan smart stop mode through its physical switch.

Cooler Master previously released its own ATX 3.0 power supply series, including V SFX Platinum / V Gold i / MWE, etc. Recently, the black and white version of MWE Gold V2 and the ATX 3.0 power supplies of the GX series are officially released, and a series of ATX 3.0 power supplies will be launched one after another.

The Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 and GX Gold 1050W/ 1250W power supplies ushered in the ATX 3.0 iterative upgrade version. The two ATX 3.0 power supplies first added a native 12VHPWR cable, which meets the requirements of ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5. The output power of a single cable can reach 600W, and the wiring is more beautiful. At the same time, the power supply can support 200% peak power output capability, and the original PCIe 6+2Pin cable is not canceled, and it is still backward compatible with all series of graphics cards such as RTX 30 series / RTX 20 series.

MWE and GX series power supplies still continue the design architecture of active PFC + full bridge LLC + DC-DC, 100% of all Japanese capacitors can withstand heat up to 105°C, and the 140mm silent fan adopts intelligent temperature control design, which can be achieved under 40% load. 0 noise operation, fully modular wiring allows users to match according to their own needs, and also supports a 10-year warranty.

The ATX 3.0 power supplies of Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 and GX Gold are priced at 1249 yuan (1050W) and 1449 yuan (1250W), and they are now officially on sale.

According to the information listed on Zotac’s website, the company recommends that users replace the 4×8-pin to 1×16-pin PCIe 5.0 graphics card power connector after plugging and unplugging 30 times.

Cards such as the RTX 4090 and 4080 will come with one of these adapter cables in the package. But for PC DIY enthusiasts who like to try things out, is there any point in changing a cable after the 30 nominal lifecycles have been exhausted?

For reference, the PCIe 5.0 cable can handle 600W of power. But as NVIDIA states, a fourth 8-pin is completely optional, just to provide more room for overclocking (previously claimed to have been overclocked to 3 GHz+ in the lab).

Update] WCCFTech has confirmed with NVIDIA that the new 16-pin connector’s 30-times nominal life is actually the same as the old 8-pin connector (mini-fit Molex) specification that AMD and other GPU manufacturers have been using for the past 20+ years.

For PC DIY users updating from the old standard to ATX 3.0 power supplies, the RTX 40 Series Founders Edition graphics cards require only one cable to meet auxiliary power needs, thus effectively eliminating cable management headaches.

Finally, major manufacturers will be launching new ATX 3.0 power supplies starting in October this year. Even if you’re not in a hurry to update your power supply, it’s easy to use the three groups of 8-pin adapter cables for a single 16-pin adapter.

MSI says the Ai1300P PCI-E5 power supply unit is fully compliant with PCI-E 5.0 and ATX 3.0 standards with native 16 PIN (12VHPWR) PCI-E connectors for use with existing and even next-generation high-performance graphics cards, and can freely deliver up to 600W of power to PCI-E 5.0 graphics cards. To withstand the higher currents required by graphics cards or CPUs the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 power supply’s connector uses copper alloy terminals for added safety.

In addition, officials say the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 can safely achieve 2x total power offset at 200% power, while also meeting Intel test standards at 120%, 160% and 180%. When the current changes drastically for a short period of time, the voltage of MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 can be controlled within the allowed voltage range to keep the system stable and avoid system anomalies.

For safety, MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 can maintain OPP and OCP for maximum safety, maintaining 1300W x 1.25 as the normal OPP level at 1623.55W. In terms of power timing, the MEG Ai1300P PCIE5 is officially said to be fully compliant with this timing, as shown in the figure below.

MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5 power supply is now available, 1000W power, native 12VHPWR “16pin” interface, single-port 600W output, priced at RMB 1399.
