Antec CP-1000 1000W Power Supply Review

Wed 2009-11-18 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

JonnyGURU have posted a review of the brand new Antec CP-1000, a 1000W power supply designed around the CPX form factor, which is only compatible with Antec P-series cases.

Here's what they had to say:

"Antec's new form factor started off with a bang when we last saw it in the CP-850. That unit had literally everything going for it, and it remains one of the best power supplies I have ever tested. The CP-1000 wanted to be everything the 850W model was and more, but sadly it ended up being a lesser unit. Ripple and noise performance was exceptional, but the total 12V output only added up to 6A more capacity. This led to me having to max out the 3.3V/5V rails to meet full rated power, which in turn led to less stability on those rails. Another 10A of 12V capacity would have done wonders for this unit. As it stands right now the CP-1000 is another excellent product from Antec. But in the grand scheme of things it is only a small step up from little brother, and as such I can't quite toss out a recommendation this time."

I don't know what Antec was thinking when they made this unit, so just save your money and stick with the CP-850.
