Fractal Design launches Ion 3 Gold ATX 3.1 PSU

Fractal Design has launched its new Ion 3 Gold power supplies. These new units are built to the ATX12V 3.1 standard, ensuring compliance with modern power excursion demands and native support for the latest graphics cards.

The new Ion 3 Gold series is fully modular and comes equipped with a 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 (12V-2×6) cable, featuring the updated shortened sensing pins for a more reliable connection. The cables themselves use Fractal's flexible UltraFlex design, which was created to simplify routing and cable management.

To cool the unit, Fractal is using its Momentum 14 fan, a 140 mm unit that features LCP (liquid-crystal polymer) blades and a fluid-dynamic bearing. This is paired with an optional Zero-RPM mode, which the user can enable to keep the fan from spinning under light loads.

Internally, the 80 Plus Gold-rated units are built with 105°C Japanese capacitors and are backed by a 10-year warranty. The Ion 3 Gold PSUs are now available in 750W, 850W, and 1000W models with MSRPs of £99.99, £109.99, and £139.99, respectively. The 750W and 850W units are available in black, while the 1000W model is offered in both black and white. The units are listed for pre-order on Scan HERE.
