Heres with Antec430 and Enermax660. Stable 5V line(0 fluctuation) when benching fx55 at 3.39Ghz and xtpe at 1.75V. Zippy a/k/a Emacs is a well known brand in the high end server market.

Man! You're power supply is bigger than my PS! :p:

Would you mind telling me what model you have (or do they only have 1 700w?) there and what type/number connectors come on it? I've been kind of eye-balling that. I, as you can see from my sig, have a poor, but pretty PS and need to upgrade.

[shadowing]

Is a Zippy700W pretty reliable? And man.. Those are HUGE!! Any other specifications?

[Dissolved]

everyone is getting these now :|

[gocchin]

Geez! How long is it exactly, I may have to get a new case just to get that psu....

[Skip]

it is so ugly though, i would buy it maybe if had sleeved cables and a nicer look like pcpc or OCZ. for 300$ i think the consumer is allowed to expect a little more than just performance.

[tictac]

How much will it cost...

i mean electricity payment per month?

:explode:

[echow87]

man...i wonder if they fit in them mid tower cases....45A at 12v :slobber:

[eva2000]

i think case manufacturers need to rethink their designs for these new bigger psus... what i want to see is a full tower case but with motherboard tray horizontally placed - support for heavier heatsinks, easier maintenance of components in/out of board etc etc :)

[Dumo]

This is the best psu so far. the one with 45A at 12V. If your mobo have 24 pins atx then you dont need a converter. Other than that you need eps female to atx male converter(neo2). I tried Enermax 660w and it still gave me blue screen, but with this monster I can bench at 3.42Ghz no problem

[eva2000]

lovely.. what does APC UPS report for total wattage usage at that overclock ? do you have monitor connected to UPS ?

man....im very tempted to buy one of these psu

[mattbr]

there are 2 zippy/emacs 700W PSU

dumo has the second one which has better 12V rail
the first one has better 3V and 5V rails

:D

both r expensive but they rock (i guess) im going to buy the second one soon.

[Dumo]

Again, the size PSL 6701P

[HiJon89]

how a psu looks doesnt help your OC at all, so its unimportant
Looking cool may not help your OC but it is certainly important, I'm going to have to look at this thing every day so it should at least look somewhat cool. It's the same reason people buy LED fans, UV lights, sleeved cables, its the cool factor.

[jinu117]

Depends, fits in lian-li PC6x fine... however, you will need some space for cabling after alll so... :P
And hijon... show us your bling bling PC to show us how cool it is looking :) Lot of people who have this PSU really has tight and clean case :) This is becoming rheutoric... I remember people yelling and screaming about PC&P being expensive and not so good looking. I honestly didn't expect this many people to grab this zippy.. bit surprised myself after being gunie pig... (and feeling good about it whole time)

my zippy should be coming tomorrow. i'm hoping my unstable overclock atm is due to my ocz520 being maxed out. eva, i'll let you know what my apc reads the zippy as. i'm currently at 23% with 520w, fx55,6800gt,5 hd,water pump, etc.

is that a pot i see in that pic? are thes rails adjustable?

[jinu117]

If you guys think the coils & heatsinks are just big like other PSU's u've seen think twice as the PSUs dimension fools your eye to think it is decent sized when in fact they are... huge

I am too chicken to have it running open and adjusting those pots. I took the shots for some other adventurous one to find out :P Honestly these heatsinks and capacitors are too close to those pots.

[Skip]

yea, it looks like very precarious work, i wouldn't try that, they are right in the middle of all the guts. and i wouldn't want to get electrocuted, or worse, wreck a 300$ psu :p:

[Astral7]

This is the PSU I have and it is huge, I have it in a Chenming Black Full Tower case, Model "901AD-BLACK-0" and it still takes careful planning of optical drive placement. The wires are also very long so you need space for them. I thought my DMM was broken at first, it never moved off of 12.10v :banana: But while rebooting it did jump to 12.11 and running two instances of F@H it will sometimes drop to 12.09v :eek: :p: This is with 2x200MBSeagates, 1 IDE 60GB Seagate, DFI 875P-T, 3.6@280FSB(14x), 1GB GSLE, NEC 3500, DVR-Rom, floppy, 2 FFB1212EHE's, 3 TFB0912GHE's, and a 5900>5950u.

[drunkenmaster]

doesn't matter what the rating is, you don't draw 700W all the time cos its a 700W psu. efficiency will make a small difference, but if you run same rig say on a 400W antec and this 700W zippy at same clocks same amount of time it will cost almost exactly the same amount to run.

hipro, guess i'm on the look out for one of these in europe to, will drop a link in if i find one.

[Astral7]

might try this Zippy EU (http://www.bettercomponents.be/index.php?manufacturers_id=20)

Edit: wow those are expensive! it has been awhile since I've used the euro, just did a conversion :eek:

[shadowing]

The Magnum shown at the CES appears to be a prototype. I think the final version will be pretty powerful.

As for now, a Zippy seems good, but pretty noisy.

[RAINFIRE]

Can anyone give me an accurate count of the power connectors on PSL-6701P?

[Quarter]

Zippy / Emacs are very good power supplies, I love my 460.
They are not known to be quiet or come with any fancy bling, because their main market is very serious servers.

[jinu117]

You can count :)

[Onepagebook]

I have that too..yup, you gotta have 6701 not 6700

[drunkenmaster]

yup 400 euros, heck $308 at newegg is closer to £165 here, 400 euros is closer to £280-300 iirc. well i e-mailed this place xcase in the uk as they have some smaller and 2u psu's, but they do a range of antec's, thermaltakes and stuff so they might be able to get them in i guess.

[conrad.maranan]

I have that too..yup, you gotta have 6701 not 6700
Well, considering I'm only going to have one WD Raptor HDD, zero optical drives, zero fancy raver lights, and just 4 low-powered quiet 80mm fans, I'm pretty confident the 6700 will be a beast in my upcoming rig. ;)

[STEvil]

nice looking PSU kinda.. wonder if it will performa as well as it looks? ;)

[Dumo]

Yep, my system never this stable. I used enermax660W before zippy and it was ok, but it was never 100% stable at 3.4Ghz.

anyone how to adjust the internal pots on the zippy-6701? i've never done it on internal pots. i assume to turn off the psu, and turn the pot but how do u tell which pot goes to which rail?


basically..

put the psu on a table.
open psu
plug it in (dont turn on yet)
jump the Green atx wire to any Black Wire.
use a multimeter (rat shack has decent ones for 20 or less) to plug in to 12/5/3
turn the pots a hair (do this while its off just to break any glue if they sealed them
then yurn the psu on and lightly! turn pot one and see which rail it changes (turn it like 1/4 turn or less, and move the MMeter in the 12/5/3v line tell u figure which one does which)

id assume the 12/5v pots will be next to eachother and the 3v will be alone.

[Dumo]

heres the specs
http://img179.exs.cx/img179/4707/zippy0zy.jpg

any news about your zippy mod?

i was thinking about placing a zalman fanmate in for the psu fan, is there any danger in doing this? the fanmate plugs into the 3pin fan plug on the pcb and has an out to the fan.

the issue with the zippy and dfi board is well known now, zippy's won't startup the mobo in the 4v vdimm setting. does anyone know if there's a way around this? i've got some ocz vx/utt that is begging for the zippy.

if there's no way to fix this issue i guess i have 2 options, turn up the pots on the zippy or wait for hipro maximizer! is there any danger to other components if i turn up the pot to 3.55?

finally, some comments on the zippy's appearance. i like the silver look, goes well with lian li cases. i also like the fact that it comes completely unsleeved. i like wiring my rig with the power cables running behind the mobo to keep the motherboard side of the case clean. with the main 24pin cables sleeved, it makes a lot difficult to do this. i'll take some pics with a digital camera to show you what i mean.

In order to switch the fan, I think your better off just vutting the wires on the current fan soldering the new one in. I dont think you can just plug it in.

i don't want to switch the fan. here, this link might help explain what i want to do.

the internal zippy fan isnt standard 3 pin.

One LAST word is : This PSU ROCKS big time....... :D :toast:

VERY good design .......Can handle everythig you through it on...... :D

It can handle EASY :

A whole rig with a P4 3.8GHz Prescott @ 5200MHz at FULL load , PLUS the VGA ATI X800XT PE at 1.93VGPU and another 110 - 120 Watts at full load too.......PLUS 4 x DELTA Fans 12 x 12 cm 200cfms @ 2A each = 8A at 12Volts .....PLUS....... :D

I'm happy you guys gave Zippy a try ,I dont feel all alone telling ppl it's a great PSU anymore .lol

Mine's been running great for...must be 3 years now I think.

On a side note: does anyone know if it's possible to convert the 8 pin EPS connector to a 6 Pin BTX one ?

[jikdoc]

i'm not sure if this is what you need:

but you can search this page if it isn't:

Thanks for the effort jikdoc but none of these links have anything that could work for 8 pin EPS to 6 BTX.Oh well..

i couldnt find any 6pin btx diagrams.. did you mean 6pin pci-e connector?

[jikdoc]

mod was a smashing success. the fan in the zippy is a 2pin plug. plugged in the 3pin fanmate into the correct pins on the pcb, then the fan into the fanmate. in needed to use an exacto knife to carve away bits of the fanmate so the fan would plug in securely. attached the whole shebang to the ouside of the zippy with velcro and voila! instant adjustable fan speed. the sound is MUCH lower and temps are about the same.

Yes,sorry. Somedays I'm a total moron,too much online gaming I guess...

My Ultra-D and x850xtpe oc'd to the max.and delta fans 120' EHE.......ride on it with ease :D

[hipro5]

In about an hour from now I'll upload photos for modding this PSU coz I'm in a harry right now...... :D

NOT very easy mods I must say....... :(

I'll link it....... ;)

[jinu117]

Glad you guys are liking it :) Too bad I ain't using it nearly well enough now that I got off phase change cooling. I MIGHT start looking to downgrade PSU :P Nothing really wrong but I might be interested in lowering the noise tad bit more and easier on eye cabling. Haven't decided it yet though... :P

UP and running........ (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=717124#post717124) :D :toast:

Ye :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing ha. It had better be able to handle ANYTHING with 45 damn amps on the 12v+

[eva2000]

guys does this psu work with DFI NF4 and the 5v vdimm jumper ?

[Torin]

No.

[eva2000]

thanks Torin :)

[fareastgq]

No.

does this mean it does work with an ultra D set at 3.3 volts on the vdimm, but NOT with it set to get 4.0? I wanna get it, but not if it doesn't work at either setting. Little bit of clarification would be appreciated :)

[STEvil]

yes.

The trick is to set the jumpers to the 3.3v+higher options setting (move the block down one jumper so the top jumper doesnt have anything on it at all) then adjust the 3.3v rail of the zippy so it is around .2-.4v higher than what you set in bios. You may need to place a single jumper on the singled-out jumper location, but I cant remember.. i'm sure someone does?

For example if you wanted 3.6v to your ram you would need the 3.3v rail at 3.8v to 4.0v

This may differ slightly on the Ultra D, but most boards step voltage down due to the regulator(s) so you lose being able to set exactly the same as your 3.3v rail is.

[fareastgq]

thanks for quick reply, I'm not going to be running any bh-5, so I'll keep it on the 3.3, that should be fine for me then. HX prob won't take more than 3.1 volts anyway...

Very Nice Must get me one of these brutes.. How do they fair against the PC Pwr and Cooling 850w and 1kw.. Must be pretty close. Im looking for new unit and need the ultimate grunt in power.. Just not sure to go with Zippy, or the 850w PCP&C or the 1KW..Right now im using a Modded PCP&C 510 Deluxe SLI/ASL (in fact I have 2 one that has 12v/3.3v/5v mods and one that does not)
