Introduction

Chieftec is a brand that needs little introduction to experienced PC builders, particularly those in the European market. Their reputation was built on rugged chassis designs like the Dragon series, and in similar fashion they have expanded to providing solid and reliable power supplies that you can install and forget about. In recent years the market has been flooded with marketing and innovation from competing brands in the PSU space, and in response Chieftec have partnered with Channel Well Technology (CWT)—one of the industry's most respected OEMs—to leverage their well tested and proven platforms for a series of models conforming to the latest specification and certification standards.

The Stealth SPX-1200-FC is a high capacity model designed to take whatever you can throw at it without any stress or fatigue. CWT know that the root of reliability is often headroom, and compared to other similarly-sized 1200 W models released recently, the layout is dense and parts are kept well away from component limits. Fully compliant with the ATX 3.1 standard and featuring dual native 12V-2x6 PCIe 5.1 connectors, this 1200 W unit is built to accommodate the most power-hungry graphics cards on the market. The platform boasts an 80 Plus Platinum certification, an LLC Half-Bridge converter with DC-to-DC technology, and exclusively uses high-quality Japanese capacitors for maximum longevity. The fan is set up to run constantly or semi-passively, depending on if you favor regular airflow or complete silence when under light loads.
