• Two additional PCIe 16-pin to PCIe 8-pin connectors, each providing an independent 300W. This enables simultaneous support for up to four PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics cards, fully satisfying multi-card computing requirements for AI and rendering farms.

This comprehensive PCIe 5.0 connectivity future-proofs your system. It eliminates the need for cumbersome adapters and ensures optimal power delivery to the most power-hungry components.

Server-Grade Ultra Durable Design: Built for Longevity

Embracing GIGABYTE’s renowned Ultra Durable philosophy, the GIGABYTE UD1600PM employs server-grade high-quality materials and engineering. This ensures exceptional stability and reliability, crucial for systems that operate continuously under heavy loads.

The PSU features high-quality Japanese main capacitors. These are widely regarded as the gold standard in the industry for their superior performance, stability, and significantly extended lifespan. This commitment to premium components ensures the long-term reliability of your GIGABYTE UD1600PM.

An enhanced thermal solution is integrated into the design. Compared to standard thermal solutions, the GIGABYTE UD1600PM boasts enlarged heatsinks and optimized airflow pathways. This significantly increases heat dissipation performance, prolonging the service life of internal components.

The cooling is handled by a 140mm smart double ball bearing fan. Double ball bearing fans offer enhanced stability and a longer lifespan compared to traditional sleeve bearing fans. This intelligent fan detects current power usage and temperature, automatically adjusting its speed for optimal cooling.

For minimized noise, the fan will stop operation upon detecting system idle or low load conditions. This semi-passive mode ensures silent operation when maximum cooling isn’t required. It contributes to a more comfortable computing environment.

The GIGABYTE UD1600PM is also equipped with a comprehensive suite of six circuit protection designs:

• OVP (Over Voltage Protection): Safeguards components from excessive voltage.
• OPP (Over Power Protection): Prevents damage from drawing too much power.
• SCP (Short Circuit Protection): Protects against short circuits that can cause severe damage.
• UVP (Under Voltage Protection): Ensures stable operation by cutting power if voltage drops too low.
• OCP (Over Current Protection): Prevents damage from excessive current on individual rails.
• OTP (Over Temperature Protection): Shuts down the PSU if internal temperatures become dangerously high.

These robust protection mechanisms ensure the stable and safe operation of your entire computer system under all conditions. They provide peace of mind for your valuable hardware.

With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of over 100,000 hours, the GIGABYTE UD1600PM is engineered for extended periods of trouble-free operation. This exceptional MTBF underscores its reliability and long-term durability.
