This thing is a beast:

1kw, 80a on the 12v.

Interestingly, it lists "Dual PCI-E 8pin connectors." Didn't you recently have a unit with those, Jonny?

The Topower 1kW has 8-pin PCI-e connectors too.

Unfortunately for Topower and Silverstone, they made those 8-pin connectors based on an early proof of the PCI-e specification. A proof that they changed because they found that a PCI-e with an additional 2-pins is to similar to an 8-pin EPS12V connector.

The 8-pin that these PSU's are using have the standard 3 +12V and 3 ground, but also a pair of sense wires. The PCI-e spec has since changed so there are four +12V and four ground and the sense wires are on the same pin as the +12V (similar to an ATX connector w/ sense wires, like an old Antec.)

For the record: This is the same as the SevenTeam unit I have. They just bridge the four +12V rails together and removed the OCP.

Are these Etasis or no

I think OW is trying to say that they are Seventeam OEM:)

I'm confused about the max combined 12v spec on these. The website says 80A but the spec sheet says this:

2). The maximum continuous combined load on +5V and +3.3V outputs shall not exceed 200 Watts.
3). The maximum continuous combined load on +5V, +3.3V and +12V outputs shall not exceed
980 Watts.

Isn't that the same as saying 12v max is 780w? (980-200) which works out to 65A...or am I forgetting something??

Only if you plan on using the full 200W combined limit on the 3.3v/5v rails. And on a modern 12v oriented rig, that isn't too likely. In other words, it can do more than 65A at 12v with the other two rails not stressed.

yeah ok...so neither the 65A or 80A figures are particularly likely (80A load would only leave 20w to be divided between the 3.3 and 5)...just a range of potential capabilities...thanks for clearing that up :)

Right. But as unlikely as that is, it can do it... which means it doesn't crossload either. ;)
