Fractal Design has officially announced the launch of its Ion 3 Gold power supply series, designed to deliver stable and efficient power for gaming PCs and high-performance desktops. The new PSU series adheres to the latest ATX 3.1 standards and offers full PCIe Gen 5 compatibility, making it suitable for next-generation graphics cards and demanding hardware setups.
The Ion 3 Gold lineup includes three models: Ion 3 Gold 1000W, Ion 3 Gold 850W, and Ion 3 Gold 750W. The 1000W variant will be available in both black and white color options, while the 850W and 750W models come in black. These options provide flexibility for system builders and enthusiasts looking to match their PSU aesthetics with their PC builds.
Fractal Design has emphasized reliability and long-term performance across the Ion 3 Gold range. Each unit features premium 105°C-rated Japanese capacitors and an 80 Plus Gold efficiency rating, ensuring consistent power delivery while minimizing energy loss. The 10-year warranty further reinforces the company’s focus on durability and consumer confidence.
To meet modern connectivity needs, the Ion 3 Gold series includes fully modular UltraFlex cables for simple and clean cable management. This design allows users to connect only the cables they need, improving airflow and maintaining a tidy interior. A key feature of the package is the native 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 cable with shortened sense pins, ensuring stable communication between the PSU and the latest GPUs.
Cooling is handled by Fractal’s Momentum 14 fan, which features LCP blades and a true fluid-dynamic bearing to enhance airflow and reduce vibration. The optional Zero-RPM mode adds an extra layer of quiet operation, keeping the system nearly silent under lighter workloads. When temperatures rise, the fan automatically adjusts its speed to maintain optimal cooling without excessive noise.
The Ion 3 Gold series demonstrates Fractal Design’s continued attention to efficiency, safety, and performance in power delivery. With ATX 3.1 compliance, users can expect improved power regulation and native support for higher transient loads, which are common in newer graphics cards. This makes the Ion 3 Gold series a reliable choice for gamers, creators, and PC builders planning for future hardware upgrades.
Fractal Design’s Ion 3 Gold power supplies are expected to be available soon through authorized retailers and distributors. With multiple wattage options, color choices, and a focus on cable flexibility and cooling, the Ion 3 Gold lineup aims to deliver efficient, quiet, and dependable power solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s PC builds.
