Cooler Master’s GX Platinum Max series enters the high-wattage PSU market with two black models rated at 1000W and 1300W. Both feature 80 Plus Platinum certification, ATX12V 3.1 compliance, fully modular cables, native 12V-2×6 support, and a 12-year warranty.
The most distinctive part is the cable design. Cooler Master gives the 24-pin motherboard cable, 12V-2×6 GPU cable, and PCIe 6+2-pin cables nylon-braided sleeves with custom cable combs. The remaining modular cables have a textured finish. This gives builders a cleaner cable layout without adding separate aftermarket combs.
Both power supplies follow the ATX12V 3.1 standard and carry an 80 Plus Platinum efficiency rating. Cooler Master lists Japanese capacitors and gold-plated terminals for the 12V-2×6 connector. The PCB has a conformal coating intended to protect it from moisture, dust, and other environmental exposure.
The native 12V-2×6 connection is particularly relevant for newer high-power graphics cards. Combined with the fully modular design, builders can connect only the cables required for their hardware.
Cooling comes from a rifle-bearing fan with semi-passive operation. The fan remains stopped at loads of up to 40%, which can reduce noise during lighter desktop work. Cooler Master lists six protection mechanisms for the series, although the available product information does not identify each one individually.
The 1000W GX Platinum Max measures 140mm long and costs 759 yuan in China (Approx $114). The 1300W model measures 160mm long and is priced at 999 yuan (Approx $150). Both versions are currently offered in black.
The 140mm length of the 1000W version may be particularly useful for builders working with cases that have limited space around the power supply area. The 1300W model adds more output but requires an extra 20mm of clearance.
