Lian Li EG1200G ATX v3.1 power supply review – L-shaped drawer design for more elegant cabling

Lian Li is mainly known for its cases, but is also trying to conquer the power supply market. The EG1200G is the manufacturer’s new high-end model, which offers 1200 watts of power, ATX v3.1 compliance and a unique L-shaped design which, according to the manufacturer, is ideal for dual-compartment cases. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on this on our site, as he has not only intensively tested this power supply, which costs around 160 euros, but has also officially certified it through his company Cybenetics. As this will certainly be of interest to you, I am happy to offer him the platform to share his findings with you on a case-by-case basis. And don’t forget, his website and YouTube channel also offer real gems in terms of really well-founded reviews! The power supply is also featured in his article on the best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x power supplies.

I didn’t test the first generation of Lian Li’s L-shaped power supplies, but I decided to take a closer look at the second generation. This now offers a detachable USB/fan hub with four USB and six fan connectors. This concept might be interesting for users who need more USB ports and don’t want to buy a separate PWM/RGB controller for their fans. Nevertheless, I will focus on the performance of the power supply in this article, as this extra is not relevant for everyone. The MSRP is within the expected range, the first generation currently still offered in Germany via Geizhals with 1000 watts and 1300 watts is similar with conversion and VAT surcharge. The newer generation can be recognized by the G in the model name, i.e. EG 1200G instead of EG 1200.

EDGE 1200W Black / White $179.99

EDGE 850W Black $109.99
EDGE 750W Black $99.99
EDGE Hub White $16.99

The 1200W and 1000W models will ship with the EDGE Hub, which will be available as an option on the remaining models in the series. This unit is manufactured by Helly, an OEM that has a close partnership with Lian Li. Helly has gained attention especially among small and medium sized brands as the company offers good platforms at reasonable prices. It is always pleasing to see new players in the manufacturing industry as it expands choice and improves performance and quality through competition.

Ich vermute mal, bestenfalls für Liebhaber der Gehäuse speziell dieses HErstellers auf Grund der besonderen Form interessant, für alle Anderen gibts im Stadard-ATX-Formfaktor gemessen an den "inneren" WErten bessere Alternativen...mögl., dass hier sogar die vom Standard abweichende Form gar zu Kompatibilitätsproblemen führt...

Das sieht so als als ob es in Tower-Gehäusen nur für die Installation oben, also wie früher, geeignet erscheint.

Warum wird hier so viel auf 115v rummgeritten? Hat in Europa doch faktisch keinerlei Bedeutung.

Weil Europa nicht der Mittelpunkt der Welt ist – und Deutschland schon gar nicht. Ich picke mir halt die für uns hier (230V) relevanten Bewertungen heraus. Die PSU Tests und Zertifizierungen von Aris (https://hwbusters.com) sind für mich der Gold Standard.

Endlich mal was Neues bei Netzteilen. Die Idee mit dem internen USB Hub gefällt mir auch, denn mir gehen bisweilen durchaus die internen USB-Header aus (Aquacomputer & Co. sei Dank). Was ICH gerne noch mehr sehen würde, wäre die Auslesemöglichkeit der Leistungsdaten wie bei den Corsair i-Modellen!
