Overall

The Yeyian Gaming Pegasus 1000W spec-wise hits on all of the main targets for a solid 1000-watt power supply with it being 80 Plus Platinum rated, having a relatively compact design, and also including both PCIe and 12VHPWR connections for current and future video cards. Styling wise it doesn’t look too bad, but it doesn’t have anything special going on. You also get plenty of peripheral power connections but I was a little concerned with how thin the cables feel. I like the black flexible flat cables which make wiring easier, even the new 12VHPWR has them as well. The packaging was extremely compact and I am a little worried about it getting banged around in shipping, so if you do go with one be sure you order it from someone who will ship it securely.

As I have already touched on, we didn’t dive into performance testing, and with any power supply, I would still recommend checking out a few reviews that can get the power supply on a bench as well. For me, I don’t mind going with new or unknown brands with some components but power supplies can make or break everything. When they work you don’t think about it at all, but with something that can ruin every component in your PC, you do have to have some trust in it. The Yeyian Gaming Pegasus 1000W has a 10-year warranty which is solid and while they didn’t go over the top with anything it looks like it should be solid. But a warranty is only as good if you know the company will be around. With Yeyian Gaming they aren’t completely new and have been around for a while now. But they also haven’t reached full trust like a few of the brands that we have been dealing with for years.

For pricing the Yeyian Gaming Pegasus 1000W is $229 on Newegg and even cheaper on Amazon where you can get it for $201.99 right now before the additional $12 coupon that they are offering making it $189.99. For comparison, the two other ATX 3.0 compatible power supplies that are also 80 Plus Platinum and 1000 watts on Newegg are $259.99 and $269.99. So Yeyian Gaming has the Pegasus 1000W positioned to be a great budget ATX 3.0 option without going with a lower efficiency which is a great place for it to be.
