So, 1x32A and 1x28 Amps on the two +12V rails allowing just over 576W of power draw for graphics alone. This 600W PSU could power two high-end graphics cards, for enthusiast-class graphics cards above a 200 Watt TDP I however recommend a higher rated power supply un the 700-800 Watt region. Most high-end graphics card eats roughly 15 Amps per card and 20 at best, the math here is simple.The nre RTX cards from NVIDIA, however, can peak much higher.

All of the power supplies in this Series have the necessary protection functions, even in extreme conditions. Below is a list of the included protections:

  • OCP: Over Current Protection. This function will latch the power supply off if any given rail is overloaded beyond a safe level. 
  • OVP: Over Voltage Protection. This function will latch the power supply off if voltages exceed specification. 
  • UVP: Under Voltage Protection. This function will latch the power supply off if voltages drop below specification. 
  • SCP: Short Circuit Protection. This function will latch the power supply off in the event of a short. 
  • OTP: Over Temperature Protection. In the event that temperatures exceed a specified value, the power supply will latch off. 
  • OPP: Over Power Protection. If the total output power of the power supply exceeds a safe level, the power supply will latch off.

The PP11 power supplies have a modular cable set that allows you to use only the cables you need for your particular set of components. When it comes to wiring we feel that there are enough connectors for the 600W PSU model we tested. Have a look at the supplied connectors, all with decent length by the way. The benefits of this dark design are a cleaner, neater look. The cables are also of decent length to support full-tower cases.

The ATX motherboard connector cable is 55 cm, the Molex and SATA power cables up-to 80 cm, the 4/8-pin CPU ATX power connector cable is at a great length of roughly 60 cm and the PCIe graphics connectors reach 50cm. You will receive two sets of PCI-Express graphics power connectors, in total four 6+2 pin connectors. So even if your graphics cards are energy efficient enough.
