CP-1000 POWER SUPPLY

ANEW STANDARD

The CP-1000 is Antec’s new high-performance power supply unit (PSU). It balances size, cost, and quality power by combining cutting-edge technology with a new form factor. The design features in this expanded form factor allow for improved component selection, better circuit board layout, more room between components for airflow, and a straight-through air path that takes full advantage of the large fan. Larger fans move more air at lower RPMs and make less noise. Antec’s new CPX form factor has better airflow than any standard size PSU that uses a large fan. The CPX form factor is exclusively compatible with Antec’s cutting-edge Gaming and Performance One cases, including the Twelve Hundred, P183 and P193.

STANDARDS AND FEATURES

The connectors and power specifications of the CP-1000 PSU are all compatible with ATX12V v2.3 and EPS12V v2.91 specifications. The CP-1000 features Universal Input, which automatically senses when you connect the power supply to any AC power source between 100~240V without setting a voltage switch. This power supply also features Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC), which improves the power factor value of the power supply by altering the input current wave shape, helping to power transmission across the grid.

SYSTEM PROTECTION

A variety of industrial-grade safety circuitry will help protect your computer: OVP (Over Voltage Protection), SCP (Short Circuit Protection), and OCP (Over Current Protection). Sometimes the PSU will “latch” into a protected state. You will need to power off the PSU and clear the fault before it will function again. There are no user- replaceable fuses in your CP-1000.

SPECIAL QUIET COMPUTING™ PWM FAN

A PWM fan can spin much more slowly and be quieter than a voltage-controlled fan. The PSU uses a PWM fan that can spin as slow as 260 RPM or as fast as 2600 RPM, depending on load and ambient temperature. It should be nearly inaudible when your computer is idling, and the PSU will vary the fan speed depending on the load of your computer. The location of the PSU fan also helps to reduce the sound emitted by your computer.

CP-1000 specifications

The Antec CP-1000 is a cutting-edge power supply unit designed for high-performance computing systems, tailored specifically for gamers and professionals alike. With a sleek and robust design, the CP-1000 is built to deliver reliable and efficient power while ensuring exceptional thermal management.

One of the standout features of the CP-1000 is its impressive wattage capacity of 1000 watts, providing ample power for even the most demanding hardware setups. This translates into the ability to support multi-GPU configurations and high-end components without breaking a sweat. The power supply is equipped with a range of connectors, including multiple PCI-E, SATA, and Molex cables, making it versatile enough to accommodate various builds.

The CP-1000 integrates advanced technologies designed to enhance efficiency. With an 80 PLUS Gold certification, it operates at a minimum efficiency of 90% at typical loads. This not only contributes to lower electricity bills but also minimizes heat generation, promoting a more stable operating environment. The unit utilizes active PFC (Power Factor Correction), which optimizes the flow of power, boosting efficiency further.

In terms of safety, the Antec CP-1000 incorporates various protection mechanisms such as over voltage protection, under voltage protection, short circuit protection, and over power protection. These features ensure that your components remain safe even in the event of unexpected surges or fluctuations, providing peace of mind for users who rely heavily on their systems.

Thermal management is also a key consideration in the design of the CP-1000. It features a quiet 135mm fan that provides excellent airflow while minimizing noise levels. The fan is designed to spin only when necessary, thanks to a temperature-controlled design that adapts to the load on the power supply. This means that while the unit is working to deliver power, it does so silently, allowing gamers and professionals to focus on their tasks without distraction.

The unit's modular design enhances cable management, allowing users to connect only the cables needed for their specific setup. This not only improves airflow within the case but also contributes to a cleaner and more organized build.

In summary, the Antec CP-1000 is a powerhouse in the realm of power supply units, combining efficiency, reliability, and advanced technologies. Whether for gaming or professional use, it stands out as an optimal choice for anyone seeking a high-performance, safe, and efficient power solution for their computing needs.
