Kolink Continuum 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply, modular - 1050 Watt [KL-C1050PL]

Kolink also wants to convince Gamer with several (strongly) overclocked graphics cards as well as operators of rendering platforms and workstations with quality and price performance. With high-end models with more than 1,000 watt nominal power and 80 plus board efficiency, Kolink is now in no way inferior to the well-known brands in Germany.

Kolink uses top-class technology for this type of performance: while a double-forward circuit is used in the primary area, the manufacturer uses DC-DC technology with independent voltage segregation in the secondary range. Both the efficiency and the precision of the power supply benefit, especially in the case of asymmetrical loads. For example, the Continuum power supply unit may be loaded with the entire rated power on the + 12 volt rail. Especially in systems with several main processors and graphics cards, very different load conditions are commonplace - well, that Kolink has designed the new top series from the outset on extreme scenarios.

Continuous operation of such powerful hardware is an expensive pleasure anyway, after all, electricity costs are proportional to the power consumption of the components. With the Kolink Continuum power supply, the additional costs can be reduced somewhat compared to standard systems: the particularly high efficiency meets the requirements of 80 Plus Platinum and surpasses 92/90/89 percent with 50/20/100 percent load (at 115 Volt input voltage ). In the European 230-volt network, the efficiency continues to increase. Compared to simpler power supplies with gold certification, the Kolink Continuum therefore saves a good 20 watts. In addition, the waste heat is minimized, which benefits cooling and extends the service life.

Kolink quality is selected for the component component, only 105-degree electrolytic capacitors of Japanese brands are used. The name of the Continuum series stands for long-term and trouble-free operation. A particularly slow rotating 140 mm fan with golf ball surfaces and a particularly long-lasting double ball bearing ensure the necessary airflow for cooling. Kolink's entry into the high-end segment can therefore be convincing not only with voltage quality, but also with particularly low operating noise and good cooling. The manufacturing guarantee of five years corresponds to the current standard of the upper class.

A clear highlight of the Kolink Continuum C1050PL is the gigantic configuration with connections: In addition to the 20 + 4-pin ATX connector for the board, a 4 + 4-pin and 8-pin 12V-EPS plug can be used Two high-processors. A total of six 6 + 2-pin PCIe connectors are available for the graphics cards on three cable strings. Self-Render setups with six mid-class GPUs can thus be operated without adapter basic solutions. The other components are supplied with eight SATA and 4-pin Molex connectors. This means that each power supply unit of the new Continuum series can permanently deliver exceptional performance. A successful entry into the market for high-end power supplies!
