Corsair HX1000 announced

What is wrong with a modular unit? It does not make a unit perform any worse, unless you belive that PCP&C fud...

Yep.

[WRC]

wouldn't it be better if it was single reail on 12V?

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.

I've learned my lessons on a couple things in the PC world, modular PSU's being one of them.

I'll just avoid the headache completely.

No.

Now ask yourself that with 2 QX9775's and 2 3870 X2's with that PSU.
All that power on ONE rail.

Like what? I can't see why having two ends to plug in instead of one would really make a difference.

[Terru]

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

[metachronos]

Looks like it'll be a great unit.

[Charles Wirth]

I have been benching with a beta unit since CES.

Nice

[Craftyman.]

If this performs near the same as my 520's have performed, this one may go in my case, just so i have some overkill room for upgrading . if not I'll sit back and wait to see if BFG releases a modular PSU.

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 considering that silverstone was the first official NVIDIA ESA Partner

[MpG]

So does this mean that Nvidia is slightly relaxing the standards for their three-way SLI certification? In Anandtech's interview with PCP&C, they stated that their 860W Turbo-cool was fully capable of running a tri-SLI rig, but that Nvidia refused to allow certification for anything under 1100W.

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.

Or should this be taken with a grain of salt?

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.

Maybe? Hopefully? I can confirm that 1100W was a minimum requirement when the platform first launched. But 1000W is certainly adequate if you're running 3 way, even on a quad FX rig.

No I wouldn't recommend it to you, the HX-620 is more than enough already.

thats a very nice psu, 1000watts at 50c....under load it would pull 900watts?

If the PSU is outputting 1KW DC to the system then it would be pulling over 1000W AC from the wall.

[jonnyGURU]

In the TX750, they run that thing at around 4V starting, so it's never under 900rpm which is quite annoying.

Confirmed 4.83V, but still.... 900 RPM too loud? Wow. You're hard to please.

[dinos22]

wow jcool you're a tough customer
i knew Germans were pedantic but that's just over the top hey hehehhehe

[g1raffe]

People have different takes on noise, show someone from SPCR a 140mm fan at 900rpm and they will go crazy. :P

[jcool]

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
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

Wait... So they're playing Crysis w/o sound?

[jcool]

Hell no
But they want Triple-SLI systems that they can use for watching movies and stuff too, so it has to be dead quiet (at least in idle) - crazy people

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

i have had customers the same way and most seem very happy with 2x120s, CPU fan, GPU fan and PSU fan. but it varies form person to person.

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.
