richba5tard Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I saw this monster, and I wonder whether anyone really uses these kind of insane power supplies. Me, I still use a 360W Enermax PSU. It's more than sufficient to power a Core 2 @2.7Ghz, 2GB ram, a 7300GT and 5 HDD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richba5tard Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 No extreme PSU's heh? I guess you only need +500W if you bench heavy SLI systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXtoRZP Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 My hardware is feed by Hiper HPU-4R580-MU ATX2.2, Sli Ready. As for my city I know about two guys using CoolerMasters RS-850 PSU's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the PSU's the Japanese benchers use for their extreme C2D spi overclocks ... nothing special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harleybro Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 After reading up alot on PSU's I upgraded. I recently had a 850W game go south. I didn't start having issue until I was running a Q6600 at 1.7v and 8800GTX at 1.5v. I purchased a 1000W Ultra X3 PSU. The reason being the amperage was a reading off a single rail. I believe the quad at 1.7v is why I had issues but it can't be proven. Either that or electronic noise. Whichever I know I am extremely happy with the stability of the new PSU. As for the Japanese benchers most are C2D's and not quad's also they have no power needed for a GPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncc-1709 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 nearly killed my hyper 580w type R with 2 8800's. each one took more amps than the psu had intotal so got a silverstone 890w one(think that right, im 5000+ miles away from it ATM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hak Foo Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 500W Antec here. I've got a 600W Intel-badged Delta job, but it's bulkier, non-modular, lacks SATA and PCI-E plugs, and makes an annoying whooshing compared to the Antec, so I'll wait for the Antec to explode before swapping, probably.

BenchZowner Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Various PSUs...top dogs being PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW SR, OCZ ProXStream 1000W, Zippy PSL-850. These are some of my benching setups units, for my gaming rigs I use the Corsair HX620W, a GameXStream 1010W, and some Antec TruePower Trio 650W [ planning to swap some with some nice PC Power & Cooling Silencer's ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
