Earlier this year OCZ Technology introduced the Fatal1ty 1000 Watt power supply, a high-performance PSU targeted at gamers and enthusiasts seeking for maximum wattage, and a modular cabling configuration. As it names suggests, the PSU was co-developed with world champion Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel to meet the needs of fellow gamers in performance.

The PSU is featuring individually-sleeved modular cables to eliminate unnecessary wire clutter for a cleaner overall presentation and better airflow in high end systems that are packed with components.

It is combining a single +12V rail and high-quality components and promises to offer a continuous output at a 50°C ambient temperature, as it uses Japanese 105°C capacitors along with protection circuitries for reliability and stability. Key features include a temperature and load controlled 140mm double ball-bearing fan with red LEDs, well-regulated electrical noise and ripple, and 80 Plus Gold certification with up to 90% efficiency at typical loads.

The Fatal1ty Series offers a complete array of connectors including detachable CPU, and multiple PCIe, SATA, and peripheral cables. It also provides universal input and active PFC (Power Factor Correction) to regulate input voltage and maintain a stable supply of power in an ATX form factor to accommodate virtually all computer towers.

Newegg had the best price for the specific PSU at the time of writing this article, as the unit is listed for $230.
