The NZXT C1000 uses a modern platform, provided by CWT, which allows it to achieve top performance while operating quietly. The unit is ATX v3.1 compatible, thanks to the 12V 2×6 connector on the modular board, making it as future-proof as possible. 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.
After the powerful NZXT C1500, which was reviewed some time ago, it is now time to look at a lower model in the series, the C1000, which can deliver up to 1000 W maximum power continuously. This power is enough to cover the requirements of a high-performance gaming system, with more powerful power supplies reserved for special situations where users either overclock the PC components or have more than one GPU installed. Under overclocking conditions, power consumption can increase significantly and it is difficult to predict how much it will increase as this mainly depends on the specific part being overclocked, its behavior at increased clock frequencies and of course the overclocking percentage. For this reason, you should make sure that the power supply offers enough performance margin before overclocking the system. If this is not the case, it must be replaced with a more powerful power supply.
At 155 dollars, the NZXT C1000 is not exactly cheap, but well worth the money. If it used the semi-digital platform of the C1500, that amount would be downright cheap, as MCUs are expensive, but that’s not the case here. The C1000, C1200 and C850 use CWT’s CXT platform, which uses analogue controllers. Only the C1500 has the more advanced CTT platform, although this is marginal. And because NZXT is so keen on the black and white trend, this power supply is of course available in black and white. On the next page you can see the black power supply again from the outside and inside, but white is rather unfavourable in the test lab. But first, here’s the Snowwhite memory gallery from the unboxing:
