All the cables are black and flat except for the 12VHPWR cable, which is braided. It could also be flat as it would look better and match the whole set. Even better would be to sell the PSU with all cables braided in the high-end style, so enthusiasts wouldn’t spend additional money, especially since the 1200W PSU isn’t cheap. On the other hand, barely any brand delivers braided cables for their PSUs, so it’s not such a big deal.
All cables come in a pouch, so we can keep there all the modular cables that we don’t need. It’s quite popular in the high-end PSU series.

AC/DC

Total Power 1200W

The Hydro PTM Pro has strong specifications letting it reach 1200W of continuous load without problems. FSP even suggests there shouldn’t be problems with up to 2kW spikes. It’s not recommended, but considering the robust design, we don’t have to worry that anything happens during extended high-load gaming sessions with the highest wattage graphics cards and processors.

A high-end RTX4090 gaming PC that uses top desktop AMD or Intel processors shouldn’t exceed 800W, even after overclocking. If we add more components, then we may pass it, but without overclocking, it will be hard to reach 1kW, not to mention 1.2kW. Unless we have a large PC with multiple additional devices on our minds, we can probably save some money and buy a lower wattage unit, which is the same high quality.

Even if we won’t use the full power, then the lower load guarantees us quiet work, and when the PSU fan doesn’t have to spin, then sucks less dust inside and keeps clean and in perfect condition for longer.
