as to improving oc, guess it depends on your setup i certainly have more gear pegged onto end of my 1KW than most folks as well as dual core not 148 single core cpu for that

I got mine a couple of weeks ago, mine has 5 adjustable pots accessable from the side of the case. I've not tried to adjust any of them but I assume they are for the 12V1, 12V2, 12V3, +5v, and +3.3v rails.Quote:

Edit: Here is internal shot of 850SSI, it has adjustments for its rails in the same location as mine, minus 1. I have a feeling yours has adjustments too just not the holes in the case like mine to allow for access.
If only PCP&C would make the pots accessible with the psu mounted in a case it would be so much more versatile... Why not put them on the other side so that the majority of people could make adjustments on the fly? Bah oh well, i'm ranting for no reason, I love my PSU.
woah Major you're lucky definitely no externally accessible pots for me heh
in the manual it says internal pots are for adjusting OCP not rails (but it mentions 4x 12v rails so 850 psu unit ?)... so maybe that's what your external ones are ?

edit: checked again and in fact there's a sticker covering 4 holes on the side of my psu unit!
I've not adjusted any of mine, but if the manual says they are for OVP they probably are.Quote:

Yes it has active PFC
PFC just makes the powersupply more effecient in power consumption (saves you on your utility bill) as far as I know it doesn't contribute to regulation or stablity.
and makes it produce less heat :)
Newegg needs to update their product info.
Anyone pegged O-scope on this thing yet to see characteristic of voltage output? Regardless of output rating once it goes over 500w, one thing I noticed that matters most was actually how small ripple it had that helped last bit of stable overclocking. Few PSU is REALLY good. While some were reputed to be AWESOME but shows responses that wasn't to my liking, while some were out right dangerous to plug in.
not that i know of. but i did buy a new dmm with RS-232 output and software to log the rails to graphs etc on my pc... will play with it more later :)

Nice tests, thanks
Here's a full load stress test of this heavy weight. http://www.computergeil.dk//?artikelid=5674
nice read, thanks
if i had $500 us to spend on a psu this would be in my system
thanks guys
it's a Digitech QM1538 DMM from www.jaycar.com.auQuote:

Just how loud is that thing under load?Quote:

air coming out of exhaust fan on 1KW PCP&C psu is only around 33-36C in 28-30C room temp :)
Well that's very interesting. I thought the thing would be loud as hell. Nice to know.Quote:
