The series includes XTREME Power Guard technology, which XPG says provides continuous current monitoring through the 12V-2x6 connector. The system uses LED warnings to prevent potential thermal issues. An orange flashing LED indicates a detected current imbalance, while a red flashing LED indicates an overcurrent condition. During an overcurrent state, the unit can shut off power via the 12V-2x6 port. XPG also uses a colored connector to help users see if the cable is fully inserted.

All models are 80 Plus Gold certified and feature a 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan and main Japanese 105°C-rated capacitors. The 12V-2x6 connector is rated for up to 600W. XPG says the units can handle power excursions up to 235% of their rated output for 100 microseconds. The series includes eight protection mechanisms and a 10-year limited warranty. XPG has not released prices, specific current thresholds, or a regional rollout schedule.
