NZXT C1200 Gold ATX 3.1 1200w Fully Modular Power Supply Review

A Closer Look

NZXT has a range of great-looking products, and they always look great together, because they use the same design principles with them all. Matte finish paints with a light texture, the same ventilation patterns, the same fonts, and subtle details such as rounding off some of the corners and edges. As you can see, all of these design aspects can be found on the NZXT C1200.

This isn’t the most outlandish-looking PSU ever, but it doesn’t need to be. However, it is certainly very attractive, and it looks and feels like a quality product, which is what I would want to feel about an expensive 1200W power supply. At 1200W it will likely power a pretty expensive computer, so it gives you a bit of confidence.

There’s a master power switch on the rear of the power supply, as well as a zero RPM fan mode switch, which can allow the fan to stop in low load and/or low temperature operation.

All the connectors are neatly laid out, with everything separated and labelled for ease of use. There are six CPU/PCI-E connectors, one of which is the newer 12V 2×6 connector. There are four peripheral connectors, and of course, the 24 pin connector (split into a 20+4 configuration).
