Summary and conclusion
The overall performance is slightly above that of the EVGA 1000 G5 manufactured by FSP, but loses out very narrowly to the Corsair RM1000e, which is slightly cheaper from time to time
The biggest advantage of the Hydro G Pro 1000 is that it is ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 capable, which means it can withstand any performance spike that the current generation or upcoming GPUs will produce. Build quality is high, as are the components with premium Japanese capacitors and a great fan. The extended ten-year warranty offers a long peace of mind. Average noise remains pleasingly low despite the compact dimensions of the PSU and 120mm fan.
I would like to see a small increase in performance, especially in load regulation and transient response. Efficiency also needs to be increased at low loads; a higher resistance NTC thermistor would lower inrush currents. Competition in the 1000W Gold category is fierce, with units from SilverStone, Seasonic, Thermaltake, EVGA, and Corsair leading the average power chart, but mostly more expensive. This is also something to consider. The Hydro G Pro 1000, meanwhile, is priced where you can see it in real terms, and it’s a solid and future-proof power supply that can easily handle a demanding gaming system with an NVIDIA RTX 4090 without having to use adapters, as it comes with a native 12VHPWR connector.
Pros | Cons |
Full performance at 47°C ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatible Top build quality Correctly set protection functions Quiet operation Good ripple suppression Long bypass time High efficiency at 5VSB with 115V input Powerful APFC converter ALPM support Low power dissipation at 115V Many connections, including a native 12VHPWR Fully modular Adequate spacing between peripheral connections High quality FDB fan 10 year warranty |
Overall performance needs to be increased Efficiency at low load should be higher Not so efficient 5VSB rail with 230V input Transient response could be better High inrush currents Thicker wires should be used in the ATX, EPS and 6 2 PCIe connectors |
Many thanks to Aris, whose data I may and will gladly refer to in the future if such power supply tests are requested by readers. Today’s article is once again a gauge of whether this topic is appealing to you. And I also chose this PSU this time because I had it myself in practical use with an NVIDIA RTX 4090 FE cranked up to 600 watts. From that point of view, the price of 160 Euros on average is really okay.
