Product Overview

The Cooler Master ELITE Gold 1000 FM (model MPX-A005-AFAG-BJP) is a fully modular 1000W power supply with 80PLUS GOLD certification. Designed and built by Cooler Master, this unit delivers high efficiency and stable power output, making it an excellent choice for high-end gaming PCs and workstations. The fully modular cable system allows you to connect only the cables you need, improving airflow inside the case and simplifying the build process.

Key Features

  • 80PLUS GOLD Certified: Achieves over 90% efficiency at 50% load, reducing electricity costs and heat generation.
  • 1000W Continuous Output: Provides ample headroom for high-end CPUs and GPUs, even under heavy load.
  • Fully Modular Cabling: All cables are detachable, so you can keep your build tidy and optimize airflow.
  • Quiet 120mm Fan: Automatically adjusts fan speed based on load; near-silent operation during idle.
  • Comprehensive Protection: Includes OCP, OVP, UVP, SCP, OTP, and OPP for safe and reliable operation.

Compatibility & Fit Guide

  • Form Factor: ATX (standard ATX PSU) – fits any case that supports a standard ATX power supply. Check case depth (approx. 160mm) for cable routing clearance.
  • Connectors: ATX24-pin, two EPS 4+4-pin, six PCIe 6+2-pin, twelve SATA, and six Peripheral 4-pin.
  • Motherboard Support: Compatible with ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX, and other motherboards that use a standard ATX power connector.
  • Note: In some compact cases, cable management may require careful planning. Always verify cable length and case space before purchase.

Ideal Builds

  • High-End Gaming PC: Perfect pairing with Intel Core i9-13900K/14900K or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and an RTX 4080/4090-class graphics card.
  • Workstation: Capable of handling multiple GPUs and sustained heavy loads for rendering or AI workloads.
  • Quiet PC: The fan's low noise profile and high efficiency make it suitable for living room or office environments.
  • Future-Proof Build: Even if your current system draws ~700W, choosing a 1000W unit now saves you from replacing the PSU when upgrading to power-hungry next-gen components.

Upgrade Considerations

  • Bottleneck Risk: The PSU itself won't bottleneck performance, but insufficient wattage can cause instability. 1000W gives you plenty of margin for modern high-end single-GPU setups.
  • Over-Spec: Using a 1000W PSU with a modest 500W system is overkill, but it allows for future GPU/CPU upgrades without needing a new PSU.
  • Compatibility with New Standards: This unit follows the ATX 2.x standard and does not include the 12VHPWR connector found in ATX 3.0 PSUs. If you plan to use an RTX 40-series card with the new power cable, the included adapters will work, but for optimal cable management, a dedicated 12VHPWR cable may be needed (available separately).
