A Closer Look
The XPG CYBERCORE II 1000W Platinum is quite compact for a 1000W power supply, so it should be broadly compatible with smaller mid-tower cases, just remember to accommodate the modular cables when you measure up your available space.

It comes with a grey 9-blade fan, which can be seen through the rather large fan grill on the front of the unit.

There’s additional ventilation at the rear of the unit too, with about 20% of the area closed up, as there’s likely some internal hardware mounted in that spot that needs protecting. There’s a standard power connector and a master power switch, but otherwise, it’s fairly plain.

The side of the PSU is nicely done too, with a stamped metal panel that gives it a bit of shape to keep it looking interesting, and a CYBERCORE II sticker inset in the largest indentation.

All of the connectors are clearly separated into zones, with the motherboard cables, SATA/Molex, and PCI cables nicely spread out, as well as that newer 12VHPWR cable in the middle. It’s a standard 12VHPWR connector on the PSU end too, so you could use aftermarket cables for this if you so desired.

Finally, the back of the PSU has all the main specifications should you need them. However, with a staggering 83.33A on the main +12V rail, it shouldn’t have any problem running a couple of power graphics cards.
