XFX Black Edition 850w ATX PSU
|
 XFX's entry into the PSU market may look like it's a prop from an alien sci-fi movie, but how will it cope up when placed up against the OC3D anal probe testing procedures?

Antec Signature 850 Power Supply @ LanOC Reviews
|
|
Given their wide spread availability including Box stores like Best Buy, Antec power supplies are well known. In the past their reputation could be called hit or miss when it comes to quality, but given our past experience with the Quattro 850 its obvious bad quality issues are in the past. The next step up from the TruePower Quattro is Antec's Signature line. Today I will be taking a closer look at an 850Watt version of the Signature line to see how it performs.

Gigabyte Odin PLUS 700W PSU review
|
|
We'll have a look at Gigabyte's Odin series of power supplies. An updated version, the new PLUS model. Being Guru3D we did opt the higher wattage model. It's called the Odin Plus 700 Watt power supply. A fairly standard power supply, yet with some extra horsepower, should you need it. Advertised as a SLI ready and certified product that comes with a 80+ Bronze certification for it's efficiency. What's special is that Gigabyte designed their own board layout, four 12 volts rails, uses solid capacitors to market it in their ultra durable product segment and as such hope to bring you a nice and long lasting product.

Cooler Master Silent Pro M 1000W Power Supply report
|
|
It has been three quick summer months since our last PSU
report, which happened to be on the Thermaltake Litepower 450W article
written by yours truly back in June. The Thermaltake Litepower 450W that I've
looked at is a budget oriented power supply. Although Thermaltake classified
it as being 'green' and 'efficient', the price to performance ratio was a bit
lacking; especially considering its $90 price tag. But what we have today at
APH Networks is a power supply that is not only aiming for efficiency -- but
also addresses the enthusiast market at a competitive price, combined with
large power rating. Cooler Master promises that their latest creation is not
'just another kilowatt power supply' in context -- the Silent Pro M 1000W
promises to deliver lots of power with as little noise as possible, as
denoted by its name. As far as world domination goes, it is clear that the
Silent Pro M series certainly did set its sight on Earth. Just by taking a
look at the retail box (Which we'll show you in just a moment) makes one fear
the dominance of the power supply! Just the sheer thoughts of it will cause
fear and panic to all mankind, lol. Anyways, in all seriousness, I found the
Cooler Master Silent Pro M 1000W's name to be pretty interesting, because it
wasn't all too long ago that 1000W power supplies are still quite a distance
from being 'silent', due to several technological limitations. With the
Silent Pro M series recently refreshed by Cooler Master by an addition of
850W and 1000W editions to the product family, we were able to get our hands
on the 1000W version for our report today. We'll be especially keen on seeing
how the Cooler Master Silent Pro M 1000W lives up to its name!

Today we're looking at the Ximgatek NRP-HC1201 1200W power supply, a unit that feels like a tank and almost looks like one given its aesthetics. Let's take a look and see if it's boom or bust."

Kingwin Lazer 1000w PSU
|
|
On the bottom of the unit is a 140mm LED cooling fan. The fan is unique for a couple of reasons. The first it is an LED light. I know what you're thinking, LED blah-blah; however, this fan's LED is changeable from white light to blue to off. Sometimes the bling is nice but sometimes I just want it off. This way, I'm set. The light is controlled via a three position switch on the back plate.

Azza Titan 850W
|
|
“Today we will be reviewing a power supply from a new comer to the particular market segment, Azza. Even though most European and Asian enthusiasts might have not heard of Azza before, the company was founded back in 1999 and is well known to the North American market. Azza’s first products were motherboards, but recently they moved on to designing and manufacturing computer cases and power supply units.”

Thermaltake Toughpower XT 850W - A Second Look
|
|
Not too long ago, I took my very first look at the Thermaltake Toughpower XT 850W unit and found it wanting. Thermaltake was anxious to improve on things, and so they did; as I found in my last review when I saw what the new and improved 750W Toughpower XT could do.
Today, I'm looking at the 850W model once more. Has this one also been improved enough to bring home a recommendation? Come on in and see.

Sapphire Pure 950w PSU
|
|
"I’m guessing most PC enthusiasts will be familiar with the company Sapphire and in particular their graphics cards which are highly respected in the market place. However, I doubt many users are very accustomed to Sapphire’s PSU range or even knew they manufactured power supplies at all.
If this applies to you then this review will broaden your horizons and introduce you to the Sapphire Pure series – in particular the 950W model. With a modularized design and support for not only ATI FirePRO graphics but also nVidia SLI support, the features make for good reading but how will it perform? Let’s take a look..."

Thermaltake Toughpower 800 W (W0296RU) Power Supply Review
|
|
"Toughpower power supply series is around for a while now and Thermaltake has just added two new models to this series: 700 W (W0295RU) and 800 W (W0296RU). These two models are 80Plus Silver certified, promising an efficiency of at least 88% at typical load (i.e. 50% load), using an internal project totally different from other power supplies from the same series. In fact, these two models are manufactured by a different company, FSP, while other Toughpower models are manufactured by CWT. This is the first 800 W power supply from Thermaltake, but you have to pay attention because they now have two 700 W models on the same series, with the "old" model (W0105RU) presenting lower efficiency than the new one (W0295RU)."

Coolmax ZP 1000 Watt Power Supply
|
|
Well, our next product up for review is from our good friends at Coolmax, a company who believes you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get a high quality PSU. This is why they sent us over the ZP-1000. The ZP-1000 is a 1,000 watt partial modular unit that is meant to go up against the likes of Thermaltake, Corsair and the other big name manufacturers who dominate the power supply market. Even if you are not in the market for such a high output power supply at a price of $150, it may be something to consider as it would help in the future-proofing of your rig..
