InWin Commander 1200w
Results
When it comes to rails, the Commander 1200 is very, very close to the tight rails of the 750w model. It’s ever so slightly further from ideal than it’s smaller brother but it comes in a definite second place, beating the very expensive Coolermaster UCP 1100w. Stability wise, it actually beats the 750w model and all others, making it one of the best PSUs in regards to rails, that we’ve ever tested.

In regards to PF rating, the Commander 1200w does pretty well again, beating the QPower, XSpice Kira and Coolermaster UCP, placing it in the middle of the road of our previously tested units. Wattage wise, it’s better than most, infact coming in 3rd place for wattage at load.
Noise
Once again the Commander 1200w comes up trumps, this time in terms of noise, but surpsingly so as the 750w model was far from silent. Unless you have your ear pretty close to the fan of the 1200w, and specifically listen for it, you won’t hear it at all. It’s very, very close to mulnaz.
Cost
Unfortunately I was unable to locate a price for this PSU, if anyone knows what it is, please let me know.
Update: Having spoken to InWin I have learned that this PSu is suggested to retail at £200 which is a crazy ammount.
