Conclusions
During my testing, the Tagan ITZ 1300W power supply was very stable and did not have any failures or other performance issues. There were tiny fluctuations on all rails but the voltages stayed well within ATX standards.
The Tagan ITZ 1300W has both stability and silence, features Active PFC, >80% efficiency, support for 8-Pin PCI-Express as well as six +12V rails with Auto Combine feature.
If this unit would have had a modular design and was a little bit less expensive, it would definitely deserve our Editor's Choice award!
