Antec 1200OC @ 1600+ watt (4x GPU)

alright so i dont normally do psu testing or review and i dont have the equipment to do jonnyguru style testing but i can certainly test the unit works to pro specifications...

1. build two systems
2. power one system with antec 1200oc and the other independently
3. plug in four dual pcb gpus (2 GTX295, 1 MARS 295, 1 9800GX2)
4. load that ish up and check the power usage

the unit, antec 1200 oc

the setup, p55 and x58 rigs

ALL GPUS powered by the antec 1200OC

LOADED UP, with ALL gpus loaded, and prime95 on the CPU

Powermetre shows the peak wattage to hit 1621, not bad for a 1200w psu

Air temperature is only 38 degrees with very low noise level

I think this PSU is strong enough to power any system I might want to run, next testing will come with CPU and 4x 5870 on LN2 and high voltage.

apply efficiency and you're wattage in dc is...12xx watts?

what was the voltage on the eps connector? 12v? 12.01v? 11.85v? 11.5v? 12.1v?

They weren't kidding when they said it was a 1600w PSU hiding behind a 1200w sticker:)

But will it last?

I've got a dead 1000w (they were tested at "110%" output..) and i've seen a bunch of other dead ones too (850's and 1000's). Dont forget these things didnt play well with nV's powerplay for 8800GT/GTS so maybe it was an issue then and not now..)

diferent ..

OC edition have

8 pcie connectors (standard 4 x 6+2pin, 4x 6pin ) & 12 pcie connectios (oc 6x 6+2pin , 6 x 4pin) And the Fan + 12v knob , otherwise the design and content of PSU is all the same..

Ok, thanks.

From some googling it also looks like the TPQ1200 vanilla is also missing the fan / voltage control knobs.

amazing PSU :eek:

great test! jonnyguru probably wouldn't take it to 1600w at the wall:)

when's this one going to be available for us consumers? I'm insulating a classified 4 way for phase and have 4 gtx 295's (will be on water) ready for it. right now I've got 2 PSUs (enermax 1250w main, secondary is PC P and C silencer 750) but wouldn't mind a step up for the main PSU.

best,
john

Who need voltage control? :D

James, that's 1600w at the wall. What's the actual output though? e.g. at 80% efficiency you'd be drawing 1600w but outputting 1280w
