Corsair HX1000 announced

[karl_eller]

have a look at this sucker

So many power supplies... so much hardware... *drools*

Edit: And I just noticed something, is that a ToughPower and an Antec Quatro on top of the (what I'm guessing is a) load tester?

Eller

[dinos22]

it is dude

they test competitors products in there

lot of the competitor offerings fail the tests (not talking about any in particular here)

JG and others probably know more about this than others >> lot of manufacturers will "relax" the testing to fit their products in a higher category = easier to sell. Good example is PCP&C 750W PSU and Seasonic X900 900W PSUs. Same PSUs >> one rated with looser than other yet they are exact same PSUs eek

temp testing, fan speeds and other considerations are very important in testing PSUs among other things and you can "play" with figures to get the rating you want sorta thing

from my understanding Corsair don't do that....they stick to very tough parameter testing for example using that blue oven to test the PSUs at 50C or whatever the figure was i can't exactly remember now.
I think one of their competitors using the same OEM in 1kW PSU is rating theirs as 1.2kW hehehe >> you get my point right

Yes people will play with rating temperatures to move up and down the derating curve but if you are casting that stone at Thermaltake it is rated at the same 50c.

I am not dumping on Crosair, Indeed I actually admire their quality thats why I am so happy when I found out TX750 is actually Xigmatek's 750W model.
I also found out what the Corsair 1000Watt is about, and is good stuff.


Industry Vetern,
I don't know the rest, but sure movieman is old, he told me his age.

I think that should be the straw that broke the camel's back.....I mean really, how many more times do you have to mention Xigmatek?

[tiborrr]

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

Measure voltage on the begining (PCB of the PSU) and on the end of connector. There's a noticable voltage drop due to lenght of the cable, and i am not even talking about modular psu's which brings more noise and voltage drop due to another weakpoint (connector).

Even if the drop were as large as you imply the only place that the voltage actually matters is at the end of the connector (and that is where the specification is written to measure it). So as long as it is in specification there it doesn't matter. So the argument is a non-starter.

[jonnyGURU]

Right. It's an argument that can go round and round. The resistance introduced by the additional connector is only responsible for less than 1% difference in load regulation even at full load. It's simply a non-issue.

And even the corrosion argument is a moot point. If the potential for corrosion is at the modular connector, then guess what? It's also there at the other end of the cable. Yeah, you have two corrosion points instead of one but then you enter a whole other argument.. why are you using your PC outside on the end of a pier?

Poohball....your last 25+ posts have had to do with Xigmatek....are you an employee or are you trolling?

EDIT: 50+ of your 60something have to do with Xigmatek....

[jonnyGURU]

Yeah.. same is true in other forums. Just Google "poohball" and "Xigmatek" and it's amazing.

Bought their product on Jan, studying it really hard, found lots of ignorant people, love to argue with them....that's all......

I usually start studying stuff that I likes.....

Johnny, is there anything else you can attack me besides that?

Yes I am in computer industry but not in the lower food chain like you refer to.

So you research after you buy? That isn't very smart for someone who is calling people who are in the field ignorant and for someone "not in the lower food chain".

sigh...I saw I search, then the buying, then i like it ALOT, then studying.
I hope you are not trying to say I called everyone in the field ignorant, this kind of tactic doesn't really work.

So what you've been doing on XS is merely trolling?

Hear ya loud and clear.
