Seasonic Focus GX-1000 1000W 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply

The Focus series from Seasonic represents a long-awaited re-entry into the power supply market and includes compact 80 PLUS Gold-rated models with fully modular cable management that also looks stylish while operating quietly thanks to the quiet and reliable semi-passive 120 mm fan. The smart choice of components, included so as to complement one another during operation, as well as the materials used all meet the high standards of Seasonic and the end result is a premium product with a 10 year guarantee that demonstrates Seasonic’s confidence in their power supplies.The Seasonic Focus GX Gold Power Supply at a Glance:80 PLUS® Gold certifiedCompact Size – 140 mm deepTight Voltage RegulationCable-free Connection DesignS3FC – Fanless until 30 % loadMulti-GPU setupGold plated connectors10 years warranty80 PLUS® GOLDThe FOCUS GX achieves 80 PLUS® Gold certification with its 90 % efficiency at 50 % system load.CABLE-FREE CONNECTION DESIGNSeasonic’s engineers have implemented a new design feature, where instead of cables; the back panel and the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) are connected by a copper plate. This breakthrough solution not only lowers the chance of production errors during manual insertion but it also improves output power quality.HYBRID SILENT FAN CONTROLThe industry’s first, Seasonic patented, advanced three-phased thermal control achieves optimal between silence and cooling. This Hybrid Silent Fan Control functions in three operational stages: Fanless Mode, Silent Mode, and Cooling Mode.BENEFITSReduced noise without increase in temperature;Extended fan life due to the reduced number of fan rotations;Optimized heat dissipation at all times;Unsurpassed silent performance in Fanless Mode.Additionally, there is a switch at the back of the power supply which allows users to customize their cooling needs by selecting between the Seasonic S2FC (fan control without Fanless Mode) and the S3FC (fan control including Fanless Mode).THE FAN CONTROL BUTTONThe fan control button can be found on the back of the FOCUS PLUS power supply, next to the power switch. The image here illustrates how to select different fan control modes to suit your need.DO NOT press the button if you wish to include the Fanless Mode, which means the fan in the power supply will not spin when the power supply is under light loads. Press the button if you wish to have the fan spin at all times, even at lower loads.FLUID DYNAMIC FAN BEARINGHigh performance Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fans are designed to take advantage of the impact absorbance effects of oil. They are extremely reliable and generate considerably less operating noise and heat than ball bearing fans. The lubrication of the bearing surface reduces friction and vibration and therefore lowers overall power consumption. Due to the effortless, quieter rotations and its robust construction, this reliable fan technology also greatly increases the lifespan of the fan.HOW IT WORKSWhen the fan shaft rotates, high pressure oil drifts along the grooves of the bearing sleeve to generate a thin layer of lubrication between the bearing faces. As the speed increases, so does dynamic oil pressure and the shaft is lifted from the bearing to create smooth, effortless rotations. The herringbone shape of the groves helps to efficiently channel the lubricant and avert leakage.80PLUS®: GoldForm Factor: Intel ATX 12 VDimensions: 140 mm (L) x 150 mm (W) x 86 mm (H)Fan Information:Fan Size: 120 mmFan Control: S3FC – Fanless until 30 % loadFan Bearing: Fluid Dynamic BearingLife Expectancy: 50,000 hours at 40 °C, 15 % – 65 % RHCable Information:Modularity: Fully ModularCable type: Flat black cablesElectrical Features:Operating Temperature: 0 – 50 °C (derating from 100 % to 80 % from 40 °C to 50 °C)MTBF @ 25 °C, excl. fan: 100,000 hoursAC Input: Full RangeProtection: OPP, OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP, SCPSafety and Environmental:safety and EMC: cTUVus, TUV, CB, CCC, BSMI, EAC, CEEnvironmental Compliance: Energy Star, RoHS, WEEE, ErP Lot 6, REACHWarranty: 10 YearsPower OutputAC Input:Voltage: 100 V – 240 VCurrent: 13 – 6.5 AFrequency: 50 Hz – 60 HzDC Output:Rail: +3.3 V+5 V+12 V-12 V+5 VSBMaximum Power: 25 A25 A83 A0.3 A3 A 125 W996 W3.6 W15 WTotal continuous power:1000 W
