we want a review!

Pah beginning to get fed up of pointless huge PSU's. Yes I have an 1100w one, but I have it for the quality of the PSU. My PC only draws 350-400w at full load from the socket

 

[Mr. Smith]

Looks like a nice psu, if not a tad expensive! I draw the line around a tonne (£100) for a psu. I want the one I buy next to last me 2 years though...

Mr. Kemp, dare I say - are you not being hypocritical? Surely there are equally high quality, lower wattage psu's?

Stop press: You have a high end rig, you only draw 400w! I could get away with using the Corsair for some time then, I'm just tempted to drop £120 on that enermax 720w as that would last longer... Sorry to be off topic.

Mate I have this one as it's HQ and more to the point....didn't cost me much at all *cough*

 

[Mr. Smith]

Is that *cough* you choking on your lies lol

Fair do's re the beast you have.

I am hating the fact I bought a blue psu, fine when everything is blue, annoying as hell when you change your rig. (apologies as I have stated this in the last few replies I have made on psu's)

Now I'm looking at dropping £100 on a new one. A black one. Or one that is so bland it just fades into nothing. An invisible psu with chameleon sleeving that adapts to every rig would be nice. tbh, imo (guess which thread I just read)

 

[Dav0s]

he means he got it free....because well why do you think

and black goes with everything!

If i were paying that much id get a PCP&C tbh.

While 98% of rigs do only pull 500w as an absolute maximum. There is still a need for more. As ive said numerous times, highly overclocked quads dissipate in the region of 300w, and that heat has too come form somewhere. Add in a pair of 8800ultras, 4 sticks of ram, 3/4 hard drives, 2 ODD drives, water cooling, high end (im thinking delta) fans and i think you'd break 500w.

Having said that a Good 7/800w would probably cope without sweating...

In my reckoning 600-800w, dependant on the components, should be plentiful.

and Mr Smith, what about this (2nd one down, 750 in black). You'd never need a new PSU again! (Untill ATX 3 or w/e)

Do u mean dissipate as an accumilation in time or constantly outputing 300w ?

Constant. I know its not the most scientific of studies, but its here

Agreed on the PCP&C. Only reason I got rid of my 510 SLI was that it only had a 4 PIN ATX12v cable

Looks decent, not modular so cable management cold be tricky (I suck at cable management)

Aren't these supposed to be noisy?

Are there any plans for a new ATX format anytime soon?

The pcp&p would be £140 delivered. The corsiar £100. Enermax prob £140ish.

Damn psu's are expensive. I might re sleve the hiper black and hide the blue unit until i'm a bit more flush.

Thanks guys, always helpful.
