New specification for ATX 3.0 power supplies
After the previous generation of NVIDIA RTX 30 series Founders Edition graphics cards began to use the 12VHPWR power supply interface, various power supply brands have also stepped up to launch power supply products that meet the Intel ATX 3.0 specification. What exactly is ATX 3.0? 12VHPWR Can I just use the adapter?
The most important thing about ATX 3.0 is to improve the requirements for POWER EXCURSION (that is, the instantaneous peak power consumption POWER SPIKE/PEAK POWER we often talk about). The instantaneous peak power consumption has been discussed by the community for a long time, starting from the era of AMD VEGA graphics cards There have been cases, and Taiwanese players really began to pay attention to this issue, starting from the previous generation of NVIDIA RTX 30 series graphics cards (there are even related crow memes).
The PCIE CEM organization pointed out that the POWER EXCURSION (100 microseconds) of the new generation of graphics cards in the future has the opportunity to achieve 3 times the continuous (1 second) power level, but Intel finally decided to require an ATX 3.0 power supply (in models that provide 12VHPWR connectors), As long as it provides twice the overall rated power in a very short period of time (100μs), STEPHEN EASTMAN explained that the reason why it will be reduced to only twice the requirement is because after many discussions with various power supply manufacturers, it is concluded that twice is Compare cost-effective options.
To sum up, if the power supply is equipped with 12VHPWR power supply wires, it must pass the ATX 3.0 specification. Models less than or equal to 450W must provide 1.5 times the overall rated power in 100μs (microseconds); models greater than 450W must provide 2 times in 100μs (microseconds). times the overall power rating to be certified to the ATX 3.0 specification.
When purchasing a new power supply, players should pay attention to whether the power supply is marked with ATX 3.0, not only with the PCIe 5.0 mark, if only the PCIe 5.0 mark means that only 12VHPWR power supply cables are provided, there will be no 1.5/2 times the system peak prevention Buffer (that is, no ATX 3.0 certification), this part is the priority to pay attention to when purchasing a new power supply.
∆ The instantaneous peak power consumption stipulated in the ATX 3.0 Design Guide, the power supply exceeding 450W and equipped with 12VHPWR must meet the 100μs 200% requirement.
