That has nothing to do with what I asked...

It would be nice to see if that Corsair HX1000 could do the same load that the Antec is doing, it may be labeled as a 1000 watt PSU but internally its identical to the Thermaltake Toughpower 1,500 W.

The test looks more impressive than the numbers show, all that GPU and still within the limits of a single PSU.

That has nothing to do with what I asked...

internally identical? oh yeah...sasha did review the hx1000 vs the antec on the 12v rail..the antec held 12v @ 11.96v while the hx1000's 12v was @ 11.76..

this clearly shows the weakness of the hx1000..above 1000w..the 2 500w independent power supplies are kinda...trying hard already regulating the v1 and v2 rails...

Testing with the Corsair HX 1000w and Intel Skulltrail proved quite difficult because I had used three GFX cards and as this Motherboard has two EPS 12v connectors this only left me one on the PSU as I had used all other spare ports, so had to do a make shift bodge job of joining the two EPS lines on the board first. So to start off with this would be asking a hell of a lot from the single EPS line of the Corsair unit. It dealt quite well considering though, as it provided me with a stable overclock of 4048MHz with three overclocked cards drawing a total system current of 1043Watts from the mains outlet of which 36.4Amps was coming from the EPS 12V lines. The Idle EPS 12V voltage was measured 12.06V sagging to around 11.76V under full load conditions (so a full load drop on the 12v line of 0.3v).

also jonnyguru tested the hx1000...
