GoKawiilGigabyte's 1000GM PG5 PSU tested: Platinum efficiency, T-Guard connector protection
Tom's Hardware reviewed Gigabyte's Gaming 1000GM PG5 1000W power supply, built by OEM HEC, finding it achieves Platinum-level efficiency despite carrying only a Gold badge. The unit uses all-Japanese capacitors, a 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan, and includes T-Guard, a thermal monitoring feature for its native 12V-2x6 connector that can cut power if overheating is detected. It ships with a ten-year warranty and costs $170.
