$280 over at Microcenter right now for the Galaxy DXX 1000 - EGX1000EWL-01 Seems like a great deal. 24a on each of its 4 12v lines and 34a and 41a combined.

Is the new Galaxy really more quiet then the "old" Galaxy Series?

What's the difference between the new Galaxy and the old one?

If it's just the new power supply cables shouldn't you be able to use modular pcie-2 cables on the old galaxy? (If you can get them somewhere, that is)

[revenant]

FYI, there's a new DXX version out with a dedicated 8pin 12v line for the cpu power (not just 4+4pin lead)... after, well, 10 days or so of headaches trying to figure out what's making a shhhhhhh sound coming from my PWM it was rules most likely to be ripple in the 12v cpu power lead so enermax is replacing my psu for the new rev of the DXX.. they say there is some change in internal circuitry also, specifically for that 8pin 12v lead.. I'm hoping it fixes the noise.. been through two mobos already and spent more time on this than I probably should have.. gah.. I'm tried. lol.

Anyways, the enermax rma people were VERY nice and very understanding.. quite pleased about that part of this experience. I should have the new unit by the end of this week.. I hope.

It will be interesting to see if they update the design again in 3 months when the new mobo revisions for amd start coming in.

I'll probably hold off until then anyway.

any news on these PSU's in europe ? can't find them anywhere near Belgium...

[Justifire]

Is it normal that in the 24 pins mainboard connector theres missing 1 pin ?
If you read MAIN it's the fifth pin under.
Anyone can confirm ? Would be great.

[webwilli]

Confirm

Well that's why I run two Hipper PSUs combined one TypeR 580w and one TypeR 750w. So I have all the power I need for my 3.7Ghz E600, 8800GTX SLI etc etc see sig. If new things come out I will simply replace the cheaper 580W one (for new CPU plugs or new 8pin VGA adaptors). So far I am enjoying great voltages not to mention that the Hippers look great and for a total of 1330W I payed less than a 1000W PSU that during these times of fast change may become obsolete so fast.

And BTW both of my Hippers are SLI certified too. Lol its a steal.

Very nice PSU... I want one of those..<3

I didn't have the old Galaxy, but I have the new one. The PSU is in my TTake Armor tower, which has holes all along the top next to the PSU. That is about 1ft from my head and I cant hear it. One of the quietest units I've ever had.

Also if you have a TTake Armor and intend on buying this PSU, have patience installing. It's a bit of a to fit in. You need to remove the USB/Firewire port for the top (one screw - easy), and take off three quick release front panels (includng the power/reset panel). Then slide the PSU in from the front. Avoid the urge to jigsaw, drill out rivets etc. It does fit

A serious option for me if i go for R600 Cfire.. ( like it's needed this 8 pin) will try see if they are available here...

[xs64]

hmm, no DXX version in Germany yet.
I cannot wait much long. I will buy the Silvertone OP1000W

Where to buy in indonesia

[Leeghoofd]

noise is like an ATI card on bootup, fans spin up loud on bootup but drop after 2 secs, runs 24/7 here most of the time barely audible...

What's the difference between the new Galaxy and the old one?

AFAIK: Just the connectors.

I have one of each and I can't tell any difference.

And the similarities are enough to where when Tom @ Enermax sent me one Infiniti and one Galaxy to review and I told him that I'd do the Infiniti right away but the Galaxy would have to wait for later, he said (paraphrased) "ok since you've already done a Galaxy review and this one isn't that different."

I would like to see if the ripple on crossload issue is resolved, but it'll have to wait for a Koolance and Tagan unit to get done first.

[mukmaster]

Dude that thing is a freaking beast

[Leeghoofd]

AFAIK: Just the connectors.

What about the amps output ? old one had 17 amps on each rail, while the new one is more powerfull with 24 amps there...

[CometMan]

this is the one for me, quad 4.3ghz and sli of 8800gtx this is the one to buy

[bmg]

Does this power supply have any noticable Whine or Squeal?

I've been using a PCP&C Silencer 750 quad with my badaxe 2 motherboard and 8800GTX video. I figured the occasional minor squeal was coming from my video card, but it wasn't bad enough to bother tracking down.

I recently switched to the P5K Deluxe motherboard and a 8800 Ultra, and the squeal is now pretty annoying at times, and it's loud enough to be easily tracked to the power supply. I replaced the power supply with another 750 quad with no improvement, so it's apparently just the way the 750 quad is.

So....I'm going to order the 1000 watt galaxy tonight unless someone says their galaxy squeals.
