Description
The Gigabyte UD1300GM PG5 stands as a cornerstone for high-end PC builds, meeting the rigorous Intel ATX 3.0 standard. With 1300W of 80 Plus Gold certified power, it handles massive power excursions common in modern hardware. Its fully modular design and flat black cables reduce clutter, while the 140mm double ball bearing fan maintains thermal stability under heavy loads.
This product is for:
- Enthusiast Gamers: Ideal for those running flagship GPUs like the RTX 4090 that require a dedicated 12VHPWR cable.
- Content Creators: Provides stable, continuous power for multi-core CPUs and high-speed storage arrays used in video editing.
- Overclockers: Features high-quality Japanese main capacitors and OVP/OCP protections to handle voltage fluctuations during tuning.
- Small Form Factor Enthusiasts: At only 160mm long, it fits into many compact mid-tower cases where space is at a premium.
- Long-term Builders: Backed by a 10-year warranty, it is a reliable investment for multiple hardware upgrade cycles.

- Dimensions: 150 x 160 x 86 mm
- Cooling: 140mm Double Ball Bearing Fan
- Protection: OVP, OPP, SCP, UVP, OCP, OTP
- Connectors: 1x 16-pin PCIe 5.0, 8x PCIe 6+2 pin, 12x SATA, 2x CPU 4+4 pin
Installing the UD1300GM PG5 is streamlined by its fully modular architecture, allowing users to connect only the necessary cables. The flat black ribbon cables are flexible enough for tight routing behind motherboard trays. During operation, the 140mm fan remains remarkably quiet at low to medium loads, only ramping up when the system demands peak power, ensuring a balance between acoustic comfort and component longevity.
Compared to standard ATX 2.0 power supplies, the UD1300GM PG5 offers superior transient response and includes the native 16-pin connector, eliminating the need for bulky 3-to-1 or 4-to-1 adapters. While many 1300W units exceed 180mm in length, Gigabyte’s Ultra Durable design keeps the chassis at 160mm, offering better compatibility with a wider range of PC cases without sacrificing the 140mm cooling fan size found in larger units.
Q&A:
- Does this PSU support the NVIDIA RTX 4090? Yes, it includes a native 16-pin (12VHPWR) PCIe 5.0 cable capable of delivering up to 600W to the GPU.
- What is the benefit of ATX 3.0? ATX 3.0 units are designed to handle power spikes up to 200% of the rated wattage, preventing system shutdowns during intense gaming.
- Are the capacitors high quality? The unit utilizes high-quality Japanese main capacitors to ensure durability and stable performance over time.
- Is the fan loud? The 140mm double ball bearing fan is optimized for a balance between airflow and noise, featuring a long lifespan compared to sleeve bearing fans.
- What protections are included? It features comprehensive industrial-grade protections including Over Voltage (OVP), Over Power (OPP), and Short Circuit (SCP).
