The LC-Power LC1000P2 power supply arrived with us last week, alongside several other units from the LC-Power family. First impressions are positive – the box artwork sets the tone well and the only thing I found missing was Cybenetics certifications. In 2025, we think these are more important to have than 80 Plus certifications.

On a visual level, the unit ticks all the boxes. LC-Power has not opted for some weird and wacky design, and the top brushed metal panel adds a little bit of ‘excitement' to the design, without compromising on keeping a neutral colour theme.

Technically the unit is well designed and adopts high level 105C Japanese capacitors – in the case of our sample, Nippon Chemi Con. Load regulation of the LC1000P2 is excellent, and it passed the cross load test without an issue.

Ripple suppression, while not class leading, falls well within industry rated parameters and we experienced no issues during testing. Efficiency levels are excellent, peaking around 94% during 40-50% load and the quality Hong Hua fluid dynamic bearing fan delivers high levels of airflow when needed without generating a ton of noise.

Right now we have no retailer links to share, however LC-Power confirmed pricing to be £179 in the UK for the 1000 watt P2. Swiss prices were given at CHF 179. LC-Power told us that stock is due into Amazon anytime in the coming week, so be sure to check them out over there – the pricing does seem competitive in today's market.

Update: LC-Power sent us this link for Amazon, with the PSU listed at £169.

Pros:

• 105C-rated Japanese capacitors.
• Well built.
• Fully modular.
• 10-year warranty.
• High levels of platinum efficiency.
• Technically a solid design.
• Cables are high quality.
• Pricing seems competitive (though there's no store links yet).

Cons:

• Availability might be an issue in certain parts of the world.
• Stiff competition.

KitGuru says: The LC-Power LC1000P2 is a solid power supply which delivers quality performance.
