I've seen problems with modular units first hand, and experienced some of them. It's a silly risk to take and I've never had problems hiding the extra cables.Quote:

I'll just avoid the headache completely.

Well, some of the earlier modular supplies have been pretty rotten, like the early OCZ units. The new corsair and Ultra X3 are wonders though. It can make a big difference in small cases, and it just makes the OCD inside me feel better :p
quad sli with a corsair?? a beautiful looking future :D
Looks like it'll be a great unit.
I have been benching with a beta unit since CES. :up:
Nice :DQuote:

Hey Guys, I have the 620HX PS. I don't plan to do SLI or anything hard-core. My graphic card is gona be most likely the 9600GT, would you guys recommend me taking a look at this power supply. I am building a new rig and I rather have more power then be sorry later.
Quick SYS Setup:
Asus Maximus SE
Intel Quad Q9450 (Waiting)
nVidia 9600GT Graphic Card
Asus DX2 Sound Card
TV Turner
1 Raptor X HD
3 - 4 Storage HD
And Soon.... Your Thoughts?
P.S. Fusion
im not quite sure but i think the silverstone olympus series PSU's were the first to get 3-way NVIDIA SLI Technology Certification Program from NVIDIA:confused: considering that silverstone was the first official NVIDIA ESA PartnerQuote:

Or should this be taken with a grain of salt?Quote:
We built the custom Turbo Cool 860 anyway to show you how conservative our ratings are. The reason the 860 doesn't come with six PCI-E standard is because we can't market the product for 3-way SLI without NVIDIA certification and they won't certify a PSU under 1100W for 3-way SLI, no matter how well it works.
Actually, Tagan was. That's why all of the ESA test machines you see doing the rounds at other sites have Tagan 1100W power supplies in them.Quote:

People have different takes on noise, show someone from SPCR a 140mm fan at 900rpm and they will go crazy. :P
Nothing to do with pedantic, I just need to have my customers satisfied, that's all. And what they want is a rig that can run Crysis with Vista in fullHD w/o hearing a thing - so I'm not the one that's hard to please here :D
I just got worked up about the TX750 so much because it cost me a lot of nerve... I bought a few of these units believing Corsair's noise-per-watt diagram that was on their page for the TX... that said something about below 20dBA unti 400W load or so.
I buy these units, and what I get is close to 30 rather than 20. I bet that's why Corsair won't ever send a TX SPCR's way cause they'd tear it to shreds, no matter how well it can handle high loads :D
Wait... So they're playing Crysis w/o sound?Quote:

your customers would have real problems in my computer room then. even more so sitting next to my antec 900:D and god knows what they would do when i cranked up crysis on my secondary rig with an overclocked 2900pro:DQuote:

back on topic thats one good looking psu! i love my 2 Corsair Vx550 and if this can do 1000watts with the same quality i will be more than happy.
