quad core kentfield, radeon x1900xtx graphics, single stage phase... nothing too exciting

is it overkill, yah... just a bit heh

just a kentfield overclocked with lots of vcore can use over ~300 watts

Why is this not up on the front page with all the other reviews?

I think because the unit has been fan modded by its owner and it has a few miles on it.

Yeah. I would LOVE to have an "official" PSL-6850P review, but any PSU I get needs to be an off the shelf virgin. Nothing modified, etc.

The results are still valid, and I cringe at the thought that this PSU could potentially be louder, but I can't list it with the official reviews.

I'm loving this quote from the bjorn3d review of the zippy:

"Some of you might question the noise emitted by 40mm fan inside the case while those measurements will be covered in the "Testing Phase" of this review. I will go ahead and say that this fan coupled with the 80mm dual ball bearing fan make for the quietest power supply for its size that I've ever had the pleasure to test."

It could be because he never takes it above 325w, but when you're already moaning about one modded with quieter fans, it made me chuckle reading that.

Precisely.

Or even in a hotter environment. The gun made it's way to my mouth much sooner during the hot box tests.

Jonny, would mind starting a "used unit" review section on the front page? It would be nice to see how a unit handles age. It would be useful for someone with limited funds who is looking at the used market. I know you are super busy, but maybe you could let BabyGURU handle the used stuff.

This is more or less the unit I have in my system currently, glad to see it has the guru's approval

Mine came with SATA connectors, but it isn't the gaming version. Came from here:
