SAMA enters the competitive mid to high wattage PSU market with the introduction of the P Series and G Series ATX 3.1 PSUs this year. Launched back in August, the SAMA P Series and G Series power supply units features Platinum and Gold efficiency ratings, respectively. Both PSUs are designed for modern systems that require a 12V-2x6 connector.

SAMA has provided us one of their latest power supply units, the G1000 80PLUS Gold-rated ATX 3.1 PSU. It features a fully modular cable design, 80PLUS Gold efficiency rating and is available in black and white colours to match most gaming PC colour schemes.



Surprisingly, SAMA has submitted the G1000 to Cybenetics for evaluation, where it achieved a Cybenetics Platinum efficiency rating. The certification can be viewed on the Cybenetics website. As the certification is recent, it has not yet been reflected on the product packaging or on SAMA’s website, though the company intends to update both in the near future.

Priced at US$114.99/£99.99, the SAMA G1000 is among the affordable Gold-rated power supplies available today. It sits slightly above the MONTECH CENTURY II 1050 W, which retails for US$104.99 and of which we previously reviewed the 850W model. Even so, the G1000 remains considerably cheaper than comparable offerings from more established brands such as CORSAIR, Seasonic, FSP, Super Flower and others.
