Hey guys got my Strider 1500w in a couple of days ago and WOW
is all i could say.
Its pretty long at 220mm with a 135mm fan. 1500w of continuous power, 1600w peak.
Comes with plenty of cables, 4 x 6pin PCI-E and 4 x 8pin PCI-E.
Here are a few pics of the PSU and one of my rig
Everything about this PSU is brilliant apart from one thing.......Its braiding
.
The sleeving on this PSU is not the best, lots of wires are exposed on either ends of the modular cables, what an unpleasant sight.
For a PSU that costs £250, the quality of the braiding should be high.
What current PSU manufacturers should do is to look at the current trend of sleeving each individual wire in a cable and do this on their Power supplies so that when we buy one from the shops or on-line, we don;t have the daunting task of re-sleeving all the cables. I personally would pay an extra £30-£40 for a PSU that is uni-sleeved.
Anyway enough of the bad bit about the PSU and now on to my sleeving.
It is the first time that I have done sleeving so my apologies if its not perfect.
I have not finished yet but here's what it looks like so far.
I have replaced the 24pin connector that goes into the motherboard with a red one.
It takes ages to sleeve each individual cable so if you decide to do it, make sure you have plenty of time as it can take up 8 hours and make sure you are not tired lol.
I will have more pictures of the 24pin and other cables sleeved up soon.
