I bought an NZXT C1200 PSU with significant coil whine / electrical noise issues. I sent it back and the replacement was actually worse. After extensive testing, it was confirmed there was an issue with the PSUs.
NZXT have since confirmed that there are issues with the capacitors on some models / batches.
I have since put in a different brand of PSU with no issues.
Sharing on the off chance this is helpful to someone. Happy gaming all.
I was looking into getting the 1200W in white. Damn!!! This kinda discouraged me
Crap I was looking into buying it. It's on PC cultists tier A list and cheap for it's specs in Singapore
@@Apurbo_ I also bought it after seeing it on the same list. You can get a decent Seasonic for the same money depending on what you need from your PSU .
NZXT gave me this reply:
"Our team seems to have identified the root cause for the noise and is working on fixing it in the future. ... it looks like there was an issue found in some models with the capacitors producing the coilwhine."
I tried two of them, and they both had the same issue (second one was even worse). After checking their serials, they were only a few digits different and likely in the same batch. The customer service was also not great. But this is just my experience.
@mradski what PSU did you end up getting? Good thing I saw your comment
Mine is 100% works great
I needed this video! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
hey mate. are you planning to do a build for the new Fractal North White case. your detailed videos about fan connections really help us a lot in your channel. cheers!!!
I haven't been asked by Fractal yet sadly. I could ask them but I've got some other builds to do first. Glad you find it useful though. Thanks!
thanks for the clear explanation sir
No problems. Subscribe to return the favour 😂👍🦐
Any way to have 8 pin x3 from rhe psu ?
I find the 12+4 too stiff for my 4080. And the gou came with a 3x8 to 12 adaptor.
Very nice explained for beginners,thank you *****
Thanks
Great video!!
Thanks. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
can I use this PSU for a 7900xtx without having to buy a new (6+2 PCIe) cable?
is the power supply quiet under load? I was considering getting this power supply or the msi a1000g pcie 5. but i have never used a nzxt power supply, are they good and quiet power supplys?
I’ve had it for a week now and haven’t noticed any loud noise.
Great video man! Question, will that single psie 600w cable work with the 3090 ti? Thanks!
Check what the connector looks like. I'm sure it will give you a picture if not it will tell you what power connection it has. If it says 12vhpwr then it is the same cable. There aren't any other connectors that look like it so its easy to identify.
Hey man I'm really struggling here, I noticed you use 2 separate cables for the cpu side of things, I only have 1 cpu cable but it is split off at the top, is it okay to use like this? My motherboard has 2x 8 pins but yeah only 1 cpu cable came with my gigabyte psu. its got 3 gpu cables and the newer type of gpu cable which is overkill lol.
I just subscribed too since I've seen a few of your videos now, keep up the great work!
Thanks Mr TPP, this stuff might be obvious for anyone who's done it before, but for virgin builders, it's rather handy. I was searching everywhere for the additional 4-pin MB connector I needed, then you showed us that it's actually one-half of the second CPU brick... duh! Who knew? Well not any of the other main-stream builders I've been trying to follow, that's for sure.
Since each end of the 600w cable is the same, does it matter which side plugs into the psu and which plugs into the gpu?
I don't believe it matters
I've read some coil whine complaints for the NZXT C1200 Gold. Have you had any problem with the PSU?
No
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thank you again for your response!
Yes, see my other comment
Is he perihiberal required?
Do they do a 1500W PLATINUM rated ATX 3.0 PSU? With electricity so expensive we want a PSU with max efficiency to save on energy bills (platinum better than just gold rated), & as GPUs keep needing more & more power, & these PSUs should last at least 10yrs, a 50% latency above the minimum recommended 1000W for RTX4090 PC seems sensible. If they don't, can you please suggest who do? Minimum 1500W PLATINUM rated ATX 3.0. Thanks
Rog thor
I've seen a lot of tests about the efficiency of Platinum and Titanium vs Gold. From the findings the amount extra you spend on the Platinum and Titanium isn't recouped in your electricity savings. You will only save a few dollars a year. So you only go for those PSUs if you want the best of the best.
Should I use 2 separate power cables or use the daisy-chain cable for a rx6950 xt?
Separate is best
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks for responding
Ok so I don't need to use the 600watt plug after all its only for Nvidia cards then? I have a rx 6750xt and it has the two pcie slots so I'll put abothwr pcie cable through instead.
Yeah
I NEED HELP!!! I just bought this psu, however the 24-pin to motherboard cable that comes with it doesnt want to fit into my lian li strimer 24pin v2… 😢
Another person on Lian Li reddit managed to get this PSU to work with tue 24pin strimer.
Hi. Who manufacturers this PSU for NZXT?
Hmm Google seems to suggest that Seasonic make it.
@@somerandomperson8282 In Hardware Buster's review states that the OEM is CWT.
Does the 4080 Super FE use the single pin 12VHPWR?
I think the super uses the new version of the connectors?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes it does. I meant 4070 super but yea confirmed I'm using it now. The NZXT 1200 watt PSU has the new cable.
Hello friends, please guide me. Do you think Silverstone HELA 1300R platinum power is better or Corsair RM1200X SHIFT?
I've never heard of the HELA but if its made by Silverstone I'm sure it is great. Cosair also makes great PSUs So really it just depends on which has the price and the amount of connections you want. Personally I would never buy a corsair because they are so over priced and you can get a 10 year warranty from most brands. It would be one thing is they lasted longer or had better components or something, but if you get any good brand you'll likely never think about it again until your power needs change. Especially if you are in the market for a platinum PSU they are all good.
@@trsskater So, is this Silverstone model great and reliable for the system?
@@user-wh4oc3nt3n It should be. The only real problem with it is that it only has a 5 year warranty, when other companies have a 10 year warrenty. But other power supplies they have made last for forever.
@@trsskater In general, do you recommend buying this power supply?
@@user-wh4oc3nt3n Personally in wouldn't. Platinum rating isn't necessary for a good power supply and it's efficiency is only a little bit better than gold. I'm actually looking at the Super Flower Leadex VII XG 1300W which is rated as an A-teir PSU and is on sale right now on newegg for $219.
I hate those hard cables. Why not use flat flexible ones?
Because there's a bigger risk of them not being seated properly. In the RTX 4090 cable this caused it to melt sometimes.
When will they become available?
Fire hazards ?!? That’s scaryyy, especially with such expensive gpus
I bought a new 1200C psu, the coil whine is too much, I recommend you stay away. I cannot return it.
It’s been a month since I got my 1200C psu and I noticed something. The coil whine sound, which is normally annoying, stopped after I connected a second monitor to my computer case.
I recently bought this PSU. Unfortunately NZXT uses proprietary connections that have no aftermarket support. So this is essentially a NON modular power supply. The included cables are extremely bulky and stiff. Most of the cables have several long bulky redundant pigtails. If you’re working in a mid-tower or smaller or just want clean cable management, I’d strongly recommend NOT buying this PSU.
What do you mean with proprietary connections? That I can't buy a third party cable for the motherboard?
@@mattiagatti1200 most modular power supplies ship with about a dozen single ended cables. This PSU only has about 8 cables. Each cable has 2-4 pigtails or adapters spliced on. This left me stuck with about a yard of cable and a half dozen connectors I didn’t need. Totally negates the benefit of a modular power supply.
@@richardbixler can you advice me another one I should buy for my nzxt h9? I'm looking for one between 1000w and 1200w
@@mattiagatti1200 I ended up buying a Seasonic Focus V3 1000w. They also make a slightly more expensive Vertex line also. The Focus was cheaper and more reputable than the NZXT. The nice thing about Seasonic is they almost never change the pin layouts for there PSU’s, so aftermarket cable options are plentiful. Also, they’re almost always capable of more power than their advertised rating and more efficient. My model was able to handle sustained power draws of 1,150w with a nearly Platinum efficiency rating according to KitGuru. Seasonic is a Japanese brand used by other companies such as ASUS. This NZXT C1200 is an obscure Chinese supplier(CWT I think) that doesn’t really have any aftermarket support for cable upgrades. The cables are really durable and nice looking but also flexible. I know I sound like a shill, but it really was a 1,000 times easier to cable manage than the NZXT was. I have the H5 Flow and I really love the case and I really like NZXT products. But the cables on this PSU are really terrible. You might need either cable extensions or a replacement cables for a large case like the H9. That said they’re easy to find and inexpensive for Seasonic PSU’s. In fact you probably will still save money. NZXT charges a reasonable but sizable markup for their products. For example my NZXT motherboard costs $300 but is a $200 ASRock. It’s got a really clean look and the BIOS has a great UI, so for me it was worth it. But a PSU, you’ll never see it so the markup really doesn’t make sense imo. Hope that helps
@@mattiagatti1200 I did, but it was deleted by a shill. lol
1200 watts😱
Meh ! It just has too little connections ! With an AMD card this is a no go because AMD still don't use the new 12VHPWR , this is more viable for nvidia and ! And you have to daisy chain AMD CPU's with this thing on AM5 , i prefer 3 separate cables ! On top of that if you are going to AM5 with an AMD card this PSU will not have enough slots to optimaly accomodate all components without daisy chaining ! AM5 requires 2 CPU cables ! So it seems like quite a poor option for the future ! Also alot of comments about coil whine related to this thing ! A decent guide tho !
I really don't understand how a 1200w PSU can only give you 2 CPU and 2 PCIe to use at 1 time. I've seen other 1000w PSUs that have 2 CPU 3 PCIe and the 12vhpwr.
@@trsskater This PSU is more focused on the new Nvidia cards , because they use the new 12HPWR power cable and slot, so you don't need any 8pins for the new Nvidia GPU and have more connections for the cpu for AM5 ! Its not a good option for a full AMD system, but its fine with the new Nvidia GPU's with 12HPWR ! + i did a little research and it turns out this PSU is on the top of Gold rated PSU charts when it comes to performance !
@@gundarsengelis1975 But the problem is if you look at other PSUs like the FSP Hydro PTM PRO 1000w ATX 3.0 (say that 3 times fast haha) it has more PCIe and peripheral connections and still includes the 12vhpwr connector. And it has does all that at 200 less watts. I think they are trying to make a price points with ATX 3.0 PSUs for the number of PCIe ports you get. Because FSP does the same thing as the nzxt but at 1000w and 1200w for gold. And then platinum gets 1 extra port. Then titanium gets another extra port for 1200w. Years back the power supply size was based on how many graphics cards you had. So 650w was for people with 1 GPU, 850w for 2, 1000w for 3, and 1200w+ for 4. And I guess now that you pretty much only use 1 they don't need to worry about having all these extra ports anymore.
600 watt what?
600 watt 12vhpwr cable, for PCIe gen 5 GPUs
