Corsair TX750 Vs HX1000

[Kursah]

Interesting comparo Mussels, I think TPU should have a feature with a wider array of PSU's in a similar testing and loading pattern. It would be a good idea to show people just what PSU's are performing as advertised, which are consuming more or less in what situations, etc.

Makes me wanna run out and grab a Kill-A-Watt just to see what my 3 year old PC P&C Silencer 750 Quad is doing in those situations.

Again, interesting article...it's also something I'd like to see expanded upon as a TPU Review/Feature Article and something I think could create some buzz. Sure it might not show a lot...get a couple PSU's...say a 500W-600W, and a 700-800W, and maybe a 1Kw+, do similar testing, using TPU performance graphs, etc. Maybe it'd be too big of a project or not worth the time to do the leg work on...but it'd be nice to see more of! Thanks for the results on those 2 PSU's.

I don't agree with that, a Fermi graphics card will work fine on a four 18A rail PSU. You just have to connect the card to more than one rail.

a fermi might work fine, but when i ran two 4870s in crossfire for similar power draw - even spread over two PCI-E slots and four 6 pin connectors, it overloaded many PSU's, most of which were quad rail.


doesnt matter about how many rails you have, the quality matters more - but a cheap 4x18 vs a cheap 2x35, the cheap 2x35 has greater odds of a rail NOT overloading.

when you get quality brands, i'm sure someone could run a fermi off a 450W problem free.

Looks like this site needs to do some updating

lol i actually use a type d plug and socket

for my 12 volt equipment (prevents caveman brain from plugging things directly into the mains

also this thread has got me wondering what size powersupply i'd need for an i7 980x cpu with a 5870 graphics card and what power it would consume from the mains

I own a Corsair TX750 myself and would like to know the results as well....subscribed

Thanks for the testing Mussels. I wanted to see this review because I have the 750 and I wanted to see the change in voltages installing a HX1000. My motherboard is notorious for being picky about power supplies. I plan on upgrading it any way but I still wanted to use it for a back up. I have not seen or heard about many issues with my 750 but I guess it does happen. The HX1000 is going to be my next power supply many good reviews on it.

i never tested voltages at all

sorry I meant watts the board I have could be the issue. I have this http://www.hvwtech.com/products_vie...uct+Search&utm_campaign=Product+Search+(Nov10) have not tested any of my components though.

Edit: crap I thought this thing had all the bells and whistles oh well.
