Description
The UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 can sustain up to 3x GPU power excursion. It has a 16-pin connector and comes with a high-quality native 16-pin cable that allows you to use the PSU with a PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics card. This cable can support up to 600 watts of power to the graphics card. The UD1300GM PG5 can sustain up to 2x total power excursion. It is fully compatible with Intel PSDG (Power Supply Design Guide) ATX 3.0 standard which supports up to 200% power excursion, reaches 70% low load efficiency and complies with required power supply timing standards. Inherit the product design spirit of GIGABYTE Ultra Durable, thus introducing a variety of high-quality materials and designs. Ultra Durable combines high-quality main Japanese capacitors, enhanced thermal solution, 140mm smart double ball bearing fan, and six circuit protection designs. It provides consumers with a high-quality and stable power supply, and can be used for a long time. The main capacitors use high quality Japanese capacitors to produce the efficient performance and ensure the longer reliability. Compared with the standard thermal solution, we have enlarged the heatsink and optimized the airflow. The heat dissipation performance is increased, thus prolonging the service life of the components. The fan speed is adjusted according to the automatic power detection and stops when the system is idle or under low load (less than 20% load). The double ball bearing fan provides longer and more stable life time. In order to make sure the entire computer system to operate stably under any conditions, we not only added protection designs such as OCP, OTP, OVP, OPP, UVP and SCP, but also ensured the stable operation of your system through the safety certification of various countries. All the black flat cables are modular design. Installing only the cables you need to reduce clutter, to increase the airflow and to improve the chassis thermal performance. 80 Plus Gold certified ensures to deliver 90% efficiency at 50% load. The better power efficiency leads to less power waste, less heat and less fan noise. The +12VHPWR and the +12V can provide a total of 1300W power output. The +12VHPWR can provide up to 600W for the latest PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics card. Leveraging the engineers' excellent design capabilities, cooling technology and higher-quality materials, GIGABYTE has reduced the length of the power supply to an amazing 160mm compared to traditional design. It can be easily installed in any chassis without space constraints.
