got one of these coming today, on my crossfire setup, do i plug them into 12v+1 and 12v+2 or 12v+3
that is one hell of a psu.
Turbotoaster Put the second on 12V3, since that's the heaviest rail. Both CAN be supplied from there, but supply the two cards from sepperate rails, thats best IMO.
The PC Power and Cooling units are the best in the world...I use the 850 SSI and hammer it pretty hard with my system. It hasn't wavered slightly at all, even when running my old 7800 GTX SLI configuration.
The 850 SSI and the 1kW prove that you get what you pay for...they cost significantly more, but are ultra quality. Extremely tight regulation and the best part...they rate these power supplies at 50۫˚C. At typical ambient, they are more powerful than they are rated.
When you are spending thousands of dollars on a good computer, does it really make sense to skimp to save a hundred dollars on a lesser power supply?? I'm sure we've all seen the results of a PSU failure...I remember seeing one that I'll never forget. It was a few years ago. The machine was an older P3 with a GeForce 2 GTS, still an OK computer at the time, and had a Deer PSU. The owner said it glowed red out the back just prior to failure. I shook the remains of three capacitors out of the unit. Everything in the computer was dead, even the fans and CD drives.
So really it makes no sense at all to get a cheap power supply for a good build...and it's truly amazing how many people have to learn the hard way. It seems like they are almost eager to take the risk to save those few dollars they save by using a cheap power supply.
all my pcs are connected via APC UPS with AVR :)Quote:
