Fully Modular Cable Design
The GR 1000 features a fully modular design, allowing you to connect only the cables required by your system.
This helps reduce unused cables inside the case and makes it easier to create a clean, organized build with more manageable cable routing.
Built for High-Performance Systems
With 1000W of total rated output and up to 999.6W available through its single +12V rail, the GR 1000 provides significantly more capacity than the lower-wattage models in our GR lineup.
That makes it an option for compatible high-performance systems where additional PSU capacity is required.
As always, customers should check the recommended PSU wattage and connector requirements for their specific CPU, GPU, and other components.
Ready for Modern Graphics Cards
The GR 1000 supports ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 and features a native 12V-2X6 (12+4-pin) connection for compatible graphics cards.
The supplied 12V-2X6 cable supports up to 600W and measures approximately 650mm, according to Cybenetics' evaluation of the GR 1000.
80 PLUS Gold + Cybenetics Platinum
The GR 1000 carries an 80 PLUS Gold certification, with COUGAR stating power conversion efficiency of up to 91%.
It also carries a Cybenetics Platinum efficiency rating, providing an additional independent evaluation of its efficiency performance.
Cybenetics A+ Noise Rating
The GR 1000 earns a Cybenetics A+ acoustic rating.
Cooling is handled by a 140mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan, rather than the 120mm rifle-bearing fan used by the lower-wattage GR 650/750/850 platform.
100% Japanese Capacitors
COUGAR specifies 100% Japanese capacitors for the GR 1000, rather than only identifying a Japanese main capacitor as it does on the lower-wattage GR series.
They're selected to support component longevity and reliable power delivery throughout the PSU.
Built-In Protection
The GR 1000 includes:
- OCP: Overcurrent Protection
- OVP: Over Voltage Protection
- SCP: Short-Circuit Protection
- OTP: Over Temperature Protection
- OPP: Over Power Protection
- UVP: Under Voltage Protection
