    Re: Do # of 12V rails matter?

    There is zero difference in performance between single rail and multi rail, as they're 99% identical.

    As for what you said about load balancing, read below.



    You have it the wrong way round,...

    Re: We dont have the power, capt'n!

    Yeah, and Kingwin/Superflower currently have the best 550w PSU's currently available.

    Platinum efficiency, under 10mV for the minor rails, and 30mV for the +12v, inside 1% voltage regulation....

    Re: We dont have the power, capt'n!

    I'd rather use my own knowledge to determine roughly how much watts I'll need rather than use a calculator that will lead me to waste money. :rolleyes:

    Re: We dont have the power, capt'n!

    I use a HX450, but I checked my usage with a Kill-a-watt. Mind you though, they can be a little inaccurate sometimes.

    I would recommend a PSU that can run their rig at maximum load, counting in...

    Re: We dont have the power, capt'n!

    That, in my book, makes it junk. :redface:

    My rig consumes around 250-300WDC under maximum load and that calculator tells me that a 400w PSU is recommended.

    @_@

    Capacitor aging is a non-issue with high quality PSU's. You can expect to see a "good" unit lose about 10-50w over the period of about 5 years. More if you have a unit with poor internals.

    Re: AMD in bad shape... Might be AMDell soon.

    AMD is going no where. Dell has no reason to buy AMD, anyway.

    Re: The Best Company for PSU's?

    People often get confused around those parts. The only "true" Multiple-rail unit that's still around is the Corsair HX1000. That Powersupply has two 500w's in one housing. As for all the rest of the...

    Re: The Best Company for PSU's?

    Single rail vs Multi rail does not matter anymore, really. A rail is just traces on a PCB which are monitored by the OCP.

    With a single rail, all of the traces are monitored together, so for...

    Re: The Best Company for PSU's?

    Just a FYI, the TX series have been changed twice. The TX650 which was originally Seasonic S12, was changed to CWT PSHII, and The TX750 and TX850 were changed from CWT PSH to CWT PSHII. They were...

    Where did you read that about the TX V2's? Google the original TX850 Jonnyguru review (I'm having trouble linking there for some odd reason) and also the TX850 V2 one (he reviewed them both), you can...

    Re: The Best Company for PSU's?

    A bit of an old thread but I thought I would chime in anyway...

    PC Power & Cooling used to be pretty good in the past, back when the Silencer units first came out, which were rebranded Seasonic...
