DeepCool PQ1000M 1000w Modular Power Supply Review

There are several things to consider when building or upgrading a PC and while we love to focus on the exciting components like CPU, Motherboard and Video it is the silent partners that really deserve all of the credit. 

By silent partners I am talking about the components that become the cornerstone of any solid computer build and namely, The Power Supply

Without a good power supply, you risk damaging your hardware and can be subjected to excess heat and noise.  I will be the first to admit that a good PSU can last you YEARS and survive though numerous builds and upgrades.  The truth is you still need to evaluate everything in your build and ensure that everything is compatible and supports the latest technologies.

In this review we will be looking at the PQ1000M Power Supply from DeepCool.  This is a 1000w modular power supply that features the popular 80 Plus Gold efficiency rating and comes with a configuration perfect for modern system builds.
