Power supply fractal design FDE Ion 3 GOLD 850W 80+ Gold, black

Description: The Ion 3 Gold delivers efficient and stable power in a compact, fully modular design built for modern gaming PCs. ATX12V 3.1 compatibility meets the latest standards and supports next-generation components with native PCIe Gen 5 (12V2×6) connectivity for reliable GPU operation. The quiet-optimized design utilizes a 140mm Momentum fan with a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) and optional ZeroRPM mode, which turns the fan off under low load. With 80 PLUS Gold certification and high-quality Japanese 105°C capacitors, the Ion 3 Gold ensures long-lasting performance and peace of mind. ATX12V 3.1 compatibility and GPU power surge support for improved stability with future graphics cards. 16-pin PCIe Gen 5 (12V2×6) native GPU power with shortened sense pins for a secure and reliable connection. 80 PLUS Gold certification for high efficiency and reduced waste heat. Fully modular design simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter. Powerful 140mm Momentum fan with fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) for quieter and cooler operation. ZeroRPM mode (optional) disables the fan under low load, ensuring near-silent operation. Flex flexible cables for easy routing and a clean case interior. High-quality Japanese 105°C electrolytic capacitors for reliability and long life. | Power supply: 850 W | Fan: 14 cm | PFC: Active | MOLEX power connectors: 2 | Floppy power connectors: 0 | SATA power connectors: 6 | Number of connectors PATA: 0 | Number of power supply connector 4-pin 12V: 0 | 8-pin 12V power connectors: 0 | Number of power supply connector 4+4-pin 12V: 2 | PCI-E 6-pin power connectors: 0 | Number of power supply connectors PCI-E 6 +2 pin: 3 | PCI-E 8-pin power connectors: 0 | Number of power connectors PCI-E 16-pin Gen 5: 0 | Number of power connectors 12VHPWR: 1 | Number of USB 10p connectors: 0 | MB power connector: 20 + 4 pin | ATX version: 3.1 | Modular power supply: Yes | Form Factor: ATX | Certificates 80+: 80 PLUS Gold | Filters / protection: Surge | Filters / protection: Circuit | Filters / protection: Current too high | Filters / protection: Voltage drop | Filters / protection: Thermal | Filters / protection: Overload | Accessories included: Ion 3 Gold Power Supply Modular Cables Accessory Kit (screws, cable ties, logo stickers) User Manual Power Cord | Dimensions: 150 × 150 × 86 mm

How to use

Install the power supply into a compatible ATX case, securing it with the provided screws and connecting the main 24‑pin motherboard connector and the appropriate CPU and PCIe power connectors to your components. Use only the required modular cables to reduce cable clutter and improve airflow. Ensure the unit is connected to a properly rated mains supply and verify that connectors are fully seated before powering on the system. Follow the motherboard and component manuals for connector locations and orientation.

Recommendations

Place the power supply so that ventilation is not obstructed, and maintain case airflow with intake and exhaust fans. For systems with high sustained loads, allow for adequate case cooling and periodic inspection of cable routing. Use a surge protector or UPS if mains stability is a concern.
