Click the Computex news item and you'll see them.

The 1250w looks to be CWT PUO. The new XG & LE lines do not look familiar / don't show enough to tell.
Hopefully Zalman prices that 1250w better than Platimax / ToughpowerXT units. Since they compete (price wise) with the Lepa G1600 ]]> PC Power Supply Discussion Tator Tot http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9037 http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9034&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 19:24:44 GMT 800w Bronze (http://www.corsair.com/us/gs-series-gs800-80-plus-bronze-certified-power-supply.html) - $100 700w Bronze... 800w Bronze - $100

I gotta say, those new housings are unique; but I'm not sure if it's in the good way. ]]> PC Power Supply Discussion Tator Tot http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9034 http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9033&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 11:57:52 GMT Hi, well I'm going nuts about this power supply.
It just blows the fuse. I already test and remove for testing outside , the bridge rectifier GBU606, the primary capacitor 400v470µF, diode 1N5406 and capacitor 10k275v that connect to the primay capacitor. The diode 1N5406 have marks showing high temperature but all tests show those components ok.

Better leave it for now and wait for a day with more relaxed time to go back to this b&%$# power supply. Its a good one but...:crazy:

Any sugestions will be apreciated.

Hi,
I briefly considered resurrecting an old Thortech (or older ODIN) thread, but since it that would probably make me unpopular .... :)

The thing is, i'm going to replace my ODIN GT 800 soon, and since the Nvidia Kepler 600 series seems to be a lot less powerhungry as the 500 series; i see no need to go to a "bigger" PSU, since i am not planning to triple- or quad SLI. :)

So, i was looking at the Thortech Plus 800 -because i am a sucker for things like the ipower meter :o

Not because of the bling-factor, but because i find it actually useful, as it is far less inacurate as a $20 gizmo you put between the wall and the PSU. And because it is even a bit better as what the motherboard monitor reports :)

I've found my ODIN GT extremely usefull, -even with the degree of inacuraccy- to measure idle and load AND temps from 5 spots in my case.
Combined with hwmonitor reporting on MD/CPU/GPU info, it gave me a good indication on how far i was pushing my luck -in realtime.
At some point the numbers confirmed something i already knew: Plugging in a MARS II is *really* pushing :)

Anyways...,

I know there are far better and more efficient PSUs... seasonic comes to mind), but how many are there that offer something like the iPower meter, or the info/control of the ODIN GTs?

I have not run into any (recent) PSUs that offer these kind of things, does anybody know of some? (and IF they exist, are they any good?)

Or an alternative? Some magical device one can plug between the MB & PSU that reports everything (including winning lottery numbers)? :) ]]> PC Power Supply Discussion RnRollie http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9032 http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9031&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 16:09:26 GMT >...]]> Anyone know much about these?

So, I recently built a budget PC for myself and it's running fine so far but on built-in graphics (Intel HD 2000) now that I've plans to add a discrete graphics card so need your help; I don't think there's a better place than this for power supply queries anyway.

My question is: I've a Thermaltake Litepower 500W (W0316RE) which has only 29A (combined) 14A and 15A to be more specific on the +12v rail, however it's written on the user manual that "Total combined +12v output load not exceed 23A. - Peak output power 500W".

My other PC specs are:
Asus H61
Intel i3-2100
2x4GB Value
1TB HDD
24x DVD writer
120mm chassis LED fan

Please guide. ]]> PC Power Supply Discussion Jonathan Trott http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9030 http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9029&goto=newpost Sun, 13 May 2012 09:23:57 GMT I will let the pics speak for themselves this time :D The graph is from a WD1200BEVS Scorpio at idle.

Currently I have an Ultra X3 1000W PSU, which to be honest I'm not sure what it may or may not contribute. Or for that matter what to expect any PSU would. Just to be clear, I never ended up needing 1000W at all. In my next build I'm thinking about changing over to an Antec P183 case and going with their proprietary CP-850 power supply. Not that I think I'll even need 850 watts, but that's where their range starts and people recommend this one for noise. So do power supplies have much to do with how my machine makes my room hot anyway? Is it better to go with more or less wattage? Someone actually told me having more overhead decreased effort and therefore heat, but I'm not sure they weren't thinking of cars. ]]> PC Power Supply Discussion Pixel Eater http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9028 http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9027&goto=newpost Fri, 11 May 2012 17:30:13 GMT Here we go: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-Extreme-2-475-W-Power-Supply-Review/1550 In summary: stay away!

Antec has released a fully modular power supply. I for one, am pleased to see it, for this fully modular power supply happens to be the High Current Pro 1kW model. Which, by the way, is certified 80 Plus Platinum. Yes, folks, Antec saw what Seasonic has been doing lately and has decided to go for the throat. It's time to find out if Antec was successful in producing some competition for those units.
