What is a full-module power supply?

A full-module power supply refers to a power supply with a modular design, meaning that the internal components of the power supply are arranged in an orderly manner according to the official specifications. 

The all-module power supply is a power supply unit that features all the cable lines being of detachable design. The all-module power supply enables users to freely combine the cable lines according to their actual needs, and the unnecessary cables can be completely not connected, thereby effectively reducing the clutter and obstructions inside the computer case and improving the heat dissipation efficiency. This design also facilitates users to perform hardware upgrades and maintenance. The power output interface of the all-module power supply presents a square shape when not connected to the power supply line. Due to being free from the disturbance of numerous cables, the overall appearance can be made more exquisite and beautiful. When assembling a computer, connecting the corresponding power supply line is also a very important step. The motherboard has corresponding anti-mistake sockets to prevent users from connecting wrongly. Similarly, the all-module power supply also sets an anti-mistake design at the power output interface. 

The all-module power supply is the mainstream type of high-end power supply in gaming/DIY computer assembly. Its core definition is: all power cables (including the 24-pin of the motherboard, the 8-pin of the CPU, the PCIe graphics card cable, the SATA hard drive cable, etc.) can be completely disassembled. You need to choose and connect the corresponding cables according to the hardware requirements, without any fixed cables. It is the most flexible type of power supply. 

Core features (suitable for e-sports / practical scenarios for computer assembly) 

Fully customizable cables: Unlike semi-modular power supplies which have fixed core cables, all the cables for "motherboard power supply, CPU power supply, graphics card power supply, hard drive power supply", etc. in full modular power supplies are detachable. Unused cables can be completely not connected, thus avoiding cable redundancy at the root. 

Optimal line management: Only essential cables are retained, and there are no redundant cables piled up inside the case. This not only makes the visual effect of the glass side panel of the case more refreshing, but also optimizes the case's ventilation system, helping gaming hardware (especially high-power graphics cards and CPUs) to better dissipate heat, and avoiding lag caused by poor heat dissipation during high-load conditions. 

Highly compatible for upgrades: When upgrading the hardware in the future (such as installing a new hard drive, replacing the flagship graphics card, or adding a water cooling system), you can directly use the corresponding cables without having to replace the power supply. This is particularly suitable for esports players who frequently modify their hardware. 

Materials and Pricing: Under the same brand and with the same power output, all-module power supplies usually cost more than half-module and non-module models (by 10% - 30%). Their costs are not only reflected in the design of the module interfaces, but also often include all-Japanese capacitors, high-quality cooling fans, etc. They offer better stability and durability, and are more suitable for mid-to-high-end gaming platforms. 

The key difference from half-module / non-module power supplies 

Full Module: All cables can be removed, providing maximum flexibility. 

Half-module: The core cables (motherboard + CPU power supply) are fixed, while the secondary cables (SATA/PCIe) can be detached. This design strikes a balance between cost and performance. 

Non-module: All cables are fixed, making it difficult to organize the wires. It is only suitable for entry-level computer builds.
