The PG-1000G is colourful looking with PG stickers on the sides (no it does not mean ‘parental guidance'). While I like the box aesthetics I cannot say I am a particular fan of the unit colours, I would rather have simple colours that wouldn't potentially clash within a system build. Apart from this minor niggle, the build quality of the supply seems really good. It measures 150x86x150mm.
The PG-1000G is nicely finished and the paint quality is excellent.
The power side of the unit has a power connector, power switch and ‘iCool' switch. This is a semi passive fan option like we have seen in many other units lately under various ‘names'. When enabled, the fan will disable until a certain temperature range.
The modular bay is fairly traditional in layout, but those with eagle eyes will notice the button top right in the image above.
This ‘5V boost' feature is a voltage compensation system that FSP have been working on. In their own words ‘When this switch is enabled, it boosts the +5V voltage to maintain optimal performance. If not voltage drop occurs, the PSU will regulate the +5V rail to approximately +5.15V, ensuring consistent power delivery.'
So in theory it appears to be a stability boost switch which most people will either not understand or touch in the first place. Quite why they didn't just build it into the unit as a default option I don't know. Having a droop potentially to 4.9v with it on instead of 4.75v would be much better (in theory) but again I am pretty sure these are just colourful and somewhat dramatic ‘technical' images on the website to attract people.
The power output for the PG-1000G is what we would expect. The primary +12V rail can deliver 83.3A while the minor +3.3V and +5V rails are set at 20A. These are powerful enough output capabilities to handle the monster power output of the new Nvidia RTX5090 graphics card (See HERE) alongside a high end processor.
