With the launch of the next generation CPU and GPU platforms in the fourth quarter of 2022, PSU manufacturers such as Seasonic and Silverstone are looking to provide the best compatibility and support for the power needs of modern hardware. next generation Products compatible with 3.0 and Gen 5.
Seasonic and Silverstone Prepare Next Generation ATX 3.0 and Gen 5 Power Supplies to Meet the High Power Needs of Next Generation GPUs
The ATX 3.0 and Gen 5.0 (12VHPWR) standards are designed to fully support the next generation CPU and GPU platforms and handle the 3 power peaks created by the new hardware.
Therefore, the power supply industry is gearing up to launch next-generation products that will meet the power needs of PCs for years to come.
Starting with Seasonic, they are producing the latest line of the “PS Vertex” series with units ranging from 1000W to 1200W and available in both the 80+ Gold and up to 80+ Platinum series.
This PSU is ATX 3.0 compliant and features a PCIe Gen 5.0 connector, capable of delivering up to 600W of power to the GPU.
Seasonic’s 80+ Platinum series has a fully modular design, while the 80+ Gold series has a partially modular design.
As for pricing, US outlets Tech-America and Provantage have already listed the product.
Pricing starts at $ 231 for 1000W Gold and $ 258 for 1000W Platinum. The 1200W is priced at $ 267 for 80+ Gold and $ 304 for 80+ Platinum.
A photo spotted by Harukaze5719 shows that the power supply has a black chassis and a large fan to expel air.
The lack of flashy RGB or colored accents on the power supply definitely helps.

Silverstone has announced the latest “HELA 850R Platinum” power supply with 850W 80+ Platinum design certified by Cybernetics and fully compliant with ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 standards.
This power supply is a standard ATX form factor design with ultra-flexible black flat cables, all-Japan electrolytic capacitors, and 24/7 (continuous) continuous output at 50 ° C.
- 100% modular cable.
- super flexible black flat cable
- Adoption of all-Japan electrolytic capacitors
- Supports PCIe ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen5 standard 12VHPWR connector
- Continuous production for 24 hours at an operating temperature of 50 ° C
- 180 ° angled SATA connector designed for stack mount hard drives
- Quiet 135mm fan operation with minimum 0 dBA with semi-fanless switch function

On the other hand, ASUS also appears to be working on its 1000W 80+ Platinum designed “ROG LOKI SFX-L PSU” line, which will be available in both black and white color models.
The OEM for the LOKI series is GreatWall and the units are certified by Cybernetics.
This PSU will be available in multiple variants with different wattages, but 1000W appears to be the only option available at launch.
Units range from 750, 850, 1000 and 1200 W with up to 80 Plus Titanium ratings and a 10 year warranty.

That said, if you’re planning on building a new gaming PC with the RTX 4090 or RX 7900 XT, you’d better make sure you get a power supply within the respective power range of the ATX 3.0 standard.
Power supply manufacturers such as MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, FSP Group Thermaltake, and Cooler Master are now announcing PCIe Gen 5 and ATX 3.0 compliant designs.
Comment:
ATX 3.0 compatible 12VHPWR-equipped power supplies from male power supply manufacturers Seasonic and SilverStone
As a review, I am attaching a list of how much power can be provided with 12VHPWR and 8PX2 (X3).
Below is my current view which includes speculation.
The highest power consumption so far is 375 W for the 8PX2, which is probably enough for the RTX4070.
RTX4080 may require 12VHPWR for some custom models.
It is best to think that the RTX4090 / Ti cannot be used unless it is fully 12VHPWR in terms of power consumption.
RTX4060 / Ti below mid-range can be supported with conventional 8PX2 or lower connectors.
Even if the installation is 12VHPWR only, it will likely come with a conversion connector.
Concept for 12VHPWR support
Probably, those who have seen the table above think that 12VHPWR is not necessary unless it is 450W or 600W.
But in my opinion it is not.
12VHPWR may be required for models that may require 376W or more power consumption, including OC models.
For example, the RTX4080 has a TBP of 340W, which is probably the TBP of a model that doesn’t do much OC.
High-end models with a wider OC range can exceed 376W and require 12 VHPWR.
Will 12VHPWR spread?
I honestly don’t think this is going to be very popular.
The reason is that the power supply that requires 12VHPWR ranges from 1000W to 1200W which is not a very popular price range.
It might come out in the 850W class, but I don’t think it makes much sense.
850W-675W is 175W, which is not very realistic.
850W-376W is 474W, but a GPU with 12VHPWR cannot run with 376W.
Considering the CPU consumes around 250W, there is hardly any headroom at 850W.
No matter how much the RTX4090Ti is said to have over 100 TFLOPS and great performance, it won’t come in numbers at a price of around 300,000 yen.
I think it has a big presence as a symbol of high performance, but I don’t think there are many people who can buy it.
12VHPWR may be an unknown standard for many users.
In the days when TSMC was stuck at 28nm and 4Way SLi, there was talk of consumption up to 1500W per outlet, which is the power consumption limit in Japan, but it has calmed down thanks to technological advancement.
For better or for worse, I think this era was unbalanced.
I think 800W or 900W per GPU is too unbalanced as in the previous era, so I don’t think that number will come out that much.
If you are using a PC that uses about 1200W completely with a single outlet, you will not be able to use hanging equipment from the same series switch.
The reason is that it is common for PCs to have a large number of power-consuming devices, such as monitors and printers.
Plus, if you put your life on the line for gaming, you probably have multiple monitors, Xbox, PS5, Switch, and high-quality audio equipment. (bitter smile.
Since the power supply in the room has run out, taking out the power supply from the next room with an extension cord reel is like a count and not very realistic.
Anyone who thinks 300W has a headroom is pretty sick. It is a serious self-produced disease.
There are no hospitals or prescriptions that will accept this, so you need to take care of yourself.
In my opinion, the ridiculous power consumption of this GPU is too far-fetched.
However, if you plan to install a high-end GPU like the RTX4090 / Ti or RTX4080 / Ti, it will be essential, so make sure you include it in your purchase schedule so you don’t have any problems later on.
