1000W Psu

phytal · 17 Jul 2009 at 11:01

Hey guys can you spec me the best 1000W
PSU. I don't want more than 1000W overkill (it's already an overkill with 1000W but I want it to be future proof as possible.
Cheers mates

This is what you want. Also, it is modular, so no more trying to hide cables behind case. Also, "SLI" compatable, and one last thing, its Corsair.

No hinting at competitors.

What system is it for? It is unlikely that 1kW is appropriate

arc@css · 17 Jul 2009 at 11:50

Forgive me, but I don't really know what 'modular' means. Is it to do with cables / management?

Sorry to but in thread

Thanks for the link Lemin

So I had the right idea then.

Though I'm not sure that my psu is modular.

My 2 cents Here

Soldier786 · 17 Jul 2009 at 12:25

The Corsair HX1000 has to be the best...

Glaucus · 17 Jul 2009 at 12:28

what's your budget

Koolance 1300watt water cooled I would say is the best but it's £360.

If we are talking sensible prices
I would go for Be quite, Zalman or fps sparkle

Sammanu · 17 Jul 2009 at 12:37

i would go with a 1000W corsair, currently on this week only offer, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-012-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084

Hey guys Corsair HX 1000W vs Bequiet Dark Power Pro 1000W ATX2.2 Modular SLi
Which Is the best? And thanks for the replies. I think I'm leaning towards the Corsair HX1000W.
BTW Jon I'm going for 1000W to be able to power up sli setup with an overclocked CPU to the max. Cheers

i have
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-024-ZA
Very stable rails etc
This runs amazingly cool, although bigger than ATX standard.

Kennysevenfold · 17 Jul 2009 at 13:00

Out of the 2 i would go BeQuiet.

Sammanu · 17 Jul 2009 at 13:04

personally i would go with the corsair same price on both products but the 5 year warranty on the corsair would sway me personally (plus the reviews it has)

pendy · 17 Jul 2009 at 13:27

You`ll be happy with either the Corsair or Be Quiet. both top rated psu`s.

wise answer...i'd also look at the OCZ 1000

phytal · 18 Jul 2009 at 19:47

yeah OCZ 1000w got my attention. I like bequiet fir the fan connectors. GUys I taking a look at the rails of the top PSU and come back later...

VortX · 18 Jul 2009 at 21:09

I've been doing lots of research into a good 1kw+ power supply and the best one in that range I would say would have to be the new:

Enermax Revolution 850W
Enermax Revolution 1050W
Enermax Revolution 1250W

They have better reviews, in both stability, quietness and effeciency. They are a tad more expensive then the Be Quiet!s and the Corsairs, but they are a tad better.

Overclockers UK don't yet sell them however. Lets hope they start selling them as I would most certainly purchase it
