DEEPCOOL DQ1000M-V3L 1000W 80+ Gold Fully Modular ATX 2.0 Power Supply

The Deepcool DQ1000M-V3L is a 1000-watt fully modular ATX power supply carrying an 80 Plus Gold certification, meaning it delivers at least 90% efficiency at 50% load under typical operating conditions. That level of efficiency translates directly into lower heat generation inside your chassis and reduced electricity draw during long gaming or workstation sessions. At its core the DQ1000M-V3L uses an Active PFC combined with a Full-Bridge LLC resonance topology and a DC-to-DC conversion stage. This architecture is widely regarded for producing tight voltage regulation and low ripple across the 12 V, 5 V and 3.3 V rails, helping protect sensitive components during demanding workloads. All electrolytic capacitors are sourced from Japanese manufacturers, with the primary bulk capacitor rated to 105 °C, giving it resilience in warm environments. Auxiliary circuits use solid-state capacitors, which contribute to low-noise operation and extended service life. Deepcool also incorporates SiC (silicon carbide) diodes in the design to reduce switching losses and improve thermal efficiency, paired with a dedicated heatsink for the LLC MOSFETs and a full copper heatsink for the SR MOSFETs. Cooling is handled by a 120 mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) fan governed by an intelligent temperature-controlled circuit. At light loads the fan can stop entirely for silent operation; as thermal demand rises the fan ramps up smoothly to maintain safe temperatures. Being fully modular, every cable — including ATX main and CPU power — is detachable, so unused cables stay out of the case entirely for cleaner airflow and easier builds. Six hardware protection layers guard connected hardware: Short Circuit Protection (SCP), Over Power Protection (OPP), Over Temperature Protection (OTP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Over Current Protection (OCP) and Under Voltage Protection (UVP).
