Sharkoon certifies the Rebel P20 Gen 2 with Cybenetics Gold and a native 12V-2×6 connector for the most demanding GPUs

Sharkoon has renewed its range of mid-range power supplies with the Rebel P20 Gen 2a new revision that updates the standard of the previous Rebel P10 and incorporates the set of improvements that the ATX 3.1 standard. The company presents it as a solution designed for both gaming systems and high-performance configurations in general, relying on the Cybenetics Gold certification and a fully modular wiring system.

These types of renewals have become common among power supply manufacturers as the ATX standard evolves to accompany the increasing consumption of the most powerful graphics cards on the market. With the Rebel P20 Gen 2Sharkoon seeks to offer an intermediate option within its catalog that combines certified efficiency, a contained noise level and a construction designed to last several generations of hardware.

ATX 3.1 support and Cybenetics Gold certification

The Rebel P20 Gen 2 complies with the ATX 3.1 standard, which means meeting the latest efficiency and stability requirements defined for modern power supplies. Added to this is the Cybenetics Gold certificationa seal that guarantees efficient power delivery and stable behavior in current PC systems, ranking above the traditional 80 Plus Gold certification in terms of rigor of efficiency and acoustic noise testing.

One of the most relevant aspects of this source is the incorporation of a native connector 12V-2×6the latest standard for powering high-end graphics cards, which replaces the previous 12VHPWR and adds security improvements to the connector itself. Thanks to this native implementation, the Rebel P20 Gen 2 is prepared to deliver power directly and stably to both current GPUs and the next generations of high-consumption graphics cards, without the need for additional adapters.

Modular wiring and internal components

The source incorporates cable management fully modularallowing you to connect only the cables that will actually be used in each configuration. This approach facilitates assembly, promotes a tidier interior inside the case and improves the overall airflow of the system, an aspect that is increasingly important in compact configurations or with several liquid cooling components.

Internally, Sharkoon highlights the use of high quality Japanese capacitorsa common component in high-end sources due to its greater reliability and useful life compared to lower cost alternatives. This combination of native 12V-2×6 connector and quality components seeks to ensure stable and direct power delivery to modern GPUs, minimizing the risk of voltage spikes during demanding workloads.

For cooling, Sharkoon has opted for a 120mm fan with hybrid magnetic bearinga type of bearing that reduces mechanical friction and, therefore, the noise level during operation. The source also incorporates a Zero RPM mode which completely turns off the fan when the system load is low, allowing virtually silent operation in everyday tasks where all the available power is not required.

Price and availability

The Rebel P20 Gen 2 It is now available in three different powers: 750 W, 850 W and 1000 Wwith recommended manufacturer prices 79.90 euros, 89.90 euros and 99.90 euros respectively. All models are offered in a black finish, while the 850 W version also has a white variant for those looking for a lighter finish within their tower.

With this update, Sharkoon expands its catalog of ATX 3.1 certified supplies at a time when more and more users are looking to upgrade their power supply preventively before making the jump to a next-generation graphics card. The combination of Cybenetics Gold certification, modular wiring and native 12V-2×6 connector makes the Rebel P20 Gen 2 an option to consider within the mid-range of the power supply market.

A market increasingly demanding with efficiency

The launch of the Rebel P20 Gen 2 comes at a time when the power supply market is experiencing some price tension, motivated in part by the increase in the cost of certain electronic components and the general increase in demand for power in current gaming systems. Having a power supply that already includes the 12V-2×6 connector as standard and complies with ATX 3.1 allows users to avoid having to resort to adapters or older power supplies when it comes time to upgrade the graphics card, something especially relevant considering the rate of consumption that the most recent high-end GPUs are reaching.

For those who are assembling a new computer or planning an update for the next launches of graphics cards, the variety of powers available in the Rebel P20 Gen 2 range (750 W, 850 W and 1000 W) allows the choice to be adjusted to the actual consumption of the rest of the components, avoiding both falling short of power and unnecessarily oversizing the source and making the purchase unnecessarily more expensive.
