Aigo Starlight EV Quiet Platinum power supplies start at $85

Aigo has launched the Starlight EV Quiet Platinum power supplies, a fully modular line of quiet-focused units built for modern gaming rigs and high-end PCs. The new PSUs come in 850W and 1000W versions, start at 569 yuan, or $85, in China, and support PCIe 5.1 graphics cards drawing up to 600W.

Noise is the headline feature here, and Aigo is clearly trying to outdo the usual “quiet PSU” marketing gloss with a proper certification and a specific target: about 25 dBA even under heavy load. That puts it in the same conversation as premium units from Corsair, Seasonic, and be quiet!, where acoustic tuning is often what separates a competent power supply from one people actually remember.

Quiet operation and cooling hardware

To keep the sound down, Aigo uses a 135mm fan with a hydrodynamic bearing, plus anti-vibration elements in the chassis to reduce resonance. The company says the units are certified to the PPLP Dual S-Level Silent Operation standard, which is a strong signal that this series is being pitched at buyers who care about acoustics as much as wattage.

ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1 and a 16-pin connector

On the technical side, the Starlight EV Quiet Platinum models follow ATX 3.1 and include PCIe 5.1 support, along with a 16-pin power connector for next-generation graphics cards. The headline number is the 600W GPU support, which puts the series squarely in the territory demanded by current flagship cards rather than more modest midrange builds.

• Models: 850W and 1000W
• Starting price in China: 569 yuan, or $85
• Noise target: about 25 dBA
• Standards: ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1
• GPU power support: up to 600W

What Aigo is using inside the case

Aigo is also leaning on familiar premium components: Japanese capacitors, a copper heatsink with thermal pads, and fully tinned cables. That parts list is not flashy, but it is exactly the kind of checklist buyers expect from a serious power supply – especially one trying to compete on both price and silence rather than just raw wattage.

The open question is whether Aigo can turn a strong spec sheet into trust outside China. Plenty of PSU brands can print “Platinum” on the box; fewer can convince buyers that the acoustics, protection circuitry, and long-term reliability deserve the label.
