The Raijintek CRATOS 1200 PC power supply unit powers modern computer builds with high demands for stability and performance. It offers a total output of 1200W and has 80 PLUS Gold certification, confirming high energy conversion efficiency. With support for ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 standards, it is ready to run the latest generation of processors and graphics cards, providing them with stable voltage even during sudden power spikes. The internal layout uses 100% Japanese capacitors for reliable operation and extended lifespan.
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter besides the form factor is its power output. This indicates the maximum number of watts the power supply can continuously deliver to the components in the computer. It is a good idea to use a web-based calculator to work out the optimal power output based on your chosen components.
The power supply fully complies with Intel ATX 3.1 and PCIe Gen 5.1 specifications. These standards define the power supply's ability to handle high transient loads, which are typical for high-performance graphics cards. It includes a native 12VHPWR connector with support for up to 600W, which eliminates the need for adaptors and simplifies connecting the most powerful graphics accelerators on the market. The internal circuitry consists of Japanese capacitors certified for operation at temperatures up to 105°C. This design contributes to excellent voltage and current filtration, resulting in high stability for the entire system. Using these components increases the reliability of the power supply, even under prolonged intensive loads, and extends its overall lifespan compared to power supplies with standard capacitors.
Heat is dissipated by a 120mm fan with a fluid dynamic bearing, which offers quiet operation and a long lifespan. The power supply uses Smart Fan Stop technology, also known as Zero RPM. This feature allows the fan to stop completely under low load, letting the power supply operate passively and in complete silence. The cooling only activates once a certain load or temperature threshold is exceeded.
The fully modular design simplifies the installation process and cable management inside the computer case. You only connect the cables that are necessary for your build. The flat design of the cables makes them easier to route and organise in the space behind the motherboard. This not only results in a cleaner-looking build but also improves airflow, which helps to cool other components.
With a depth of just 140mm, this unit is one of the more compact ATX power supplies. Its smaller dimensions make it easier to install in a wide range of computer cases, including smaller form factors where space for components and cable management is limited. This leaves more room for handling cables and other components, simplifying the overall system assembly. The power supply integrates a complete set of protections for the safe operation of connected components. These include over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, overload, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection. This set of mechanisms protects connected components from electrical damage and contributes to the stable and safe operation of the entire computer.
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively evaluate the efficiency of computer power supplies. This gives users a simple and clear way to compare different models. In the European market (which uses a 230V supply), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification, each with set requirements for power supply units. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
| PSU load | Efficiency at 20% load | Efficiency at 50% load | Efficiency at 100% load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 PLUS | 82% | 85% | 82% |
| 80 PLUS Bronze | 85% | 88% | 85% |
| 80 PLUS Silver | 87% | 90% | 87% |
| 80 PLUS Gold | 90% | 92% | 89% |
| 80 PLUS Platinum | 92% | 94% | 90% |
| 80 PLUS Titanium | 94% | 96% | 94% |
