Choosing a power supply
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter besides the format is its power output. This indicates the maximum number of Watts the power supply can continuously deliver to the components in the computer. It is a good idea to use a web calculator to determine the optimal power output based on your chosen components.
A power supply ready for the future
Compliance with the ATX12V 3.1 standard ensures seamless connection of current and future generation components. The Fractal Design Ion 3 Gold 1000W handles the power excursions of modern graphics cards, which can briefly demand significantly more power than their nominal rating. The native 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 (12V-2x6) connector with integrated short-circuit detection pins provides reliable and safe power for even the most powerful GPUs.
Native PCIe Gen 5 support
Modern graphics cards require a reliable high-power supply, which is why the Fractal Design Ion 3 Gold 1000W features a native 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 (12V-2x6) connector. This cable can deliver up to 600W of power directly to the graphics card without needing adapters or reducers, which can pose a potential risk. The shortened sense pins ensure a secure connection and protect against short circuits or incorrect insertion of the connector. This technology protects your hardware and provides the graphics card with clean, stable energy for maximum performance without dropouts or system instability.
Fractal Design Ion 3 has Momentum cooling for quiet operation
The powerful 140mm Momentum 14 fan with a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) ensures efficient cooling with minimal noise. Liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) blades optimise airflow and contribute to a longer lifespan for the entire power supply. Thanks to this design, the Fractal Design Ion 3 Gold 1000W runs cooler and quieter than standard power supplies, which you will appreciate in quiet builds focused on minimal noise.
80 PLUS Gold certified efficiency
The 80 PLUS Gold certification guarantees an energy conversion efficiency of at least 90% at typical loads. Thanks to its optimised topology with LLC resonance and synchronous rectification, the Fractal Design Ion 3 Gold 1000W minimises losses and waste heat. Lower electricity consumption means savings on your energy bills, and less thermal stress on components extends their lifespan.
Quiet operation without compromise
Variable fan speeds automatically adjust the cooling intensity to the power supply's current load. At lower loads, you can activate the Zero-RPM mode, which stops the fan completely for near-silent operation. The Fractal Design Ion 3 Gold 1000W thus offers an optimal balance between efficient cooling and quiet performance, ideal for silent gaming or work builds.
A power supply with a fully modular design
The fully modular design lets you connect only the cables you actually need, eliminating unnecessary clutter inside the case. Flat-design UltraFlex cables offer exceptional flexibility for easy routing even in compact builds. The Fractal Design Ion 3 Gold 1000W makes it easy to build a tidy and aesthetically clean system with optimal airflow.
Designed for a long lifespan
Premium 105°C-rated Japanese electrolytic capacitors ensure stable performance and reliability even under long-term load in demanding conditions. A Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 100000 hours confirms the quality of the components used. The Fractal Design Ion 3 Gold 1000W is also covered by a 10-year warranty, which provides long-term peace of mind.

80 Plus certification in the European market
The 80 Plus certification was created to objectively assess the efficiency of computer power supplies. This gives users a simple and clear way to compare different models. In the European market (where 230V is used), there are six levels of 80 Plus certification with set requirements for computer power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
| PC power supply load | Efficiency at 20% load | Efficiency at 50% load | Efficiency at 100% load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 PLUS | 82 % | 85 % | 82 % |
| 80 PLUS Bronze | 85 % | 88 % | 85 % |
| 80 PLUS Silver | 87 % | 90 % | 87 % |
| 80 PLUS Gold | 90 % | 92 % | 89 % |
| 80 PLUS Platinum | 92 % | 94 % | 90 % |
| 80 PLUS Titanium | 94 % | 96 % | 94 % |
