Just wondering if you have having problems locating the said PSU:

Tagan Quad SLi Approved 900-1100W ATX2.0 PSU

You spec it in one of your pre-built systems but I notice that it is currently on pre - order only , is the lack of availability of PSU the cause?

Just wondering if you are planning on getting these for seperate consumption and if you have a date of availability or price?

Dont think there are any similar posts asking this or that it breaks any rule but please delete if necessary and accept my appologies.
 
Playing with the idea of a crossfire system, and I have always liked Tagan's and this is their next model up after the 580w designs that OC have ( which arent enough for Xfire)

I know people have recommended sparkle 700w and evne OCUK are using them in their other prebuilt rigs, I just think 700w is too near the borderline for me and i would prefer a larger margin for error.

Also if it takes two months to get them in, I can start saving now

I have a Tagan 480w powering my rig now and its a real quality piece of kit imho

580W will easily handle dual core and crossfire and some overclocking, provided you've not got dozens of hard disks and optical drives! people are truly mad thinking they need like 1kw!

1kw isnt required but you DO require over 580w ( and more importantly most of the 580w supplies are a little weak in the vga lines to power two amp hungry cards like the X1900's

Hi there

Tagan 900W was a faulty batch so nobody has working ones....

Tagan 1100W we have 1-2 units which are for system builds only!

Thank you Gibbo - any idea when you might be getting another batch of either type?

Hi Frank,

I'll let you know what Tagan tech dept says about a possible revision. With my system, if I power down for say longer than 6 seconds, the motherboard/psu will not switch on for at least half an hour.

This supply has more sata connectors than you could ever use in a home system. You need quite a bit of spare room in your case to tuck all the spare cables away.

Overall I do like the supply, it's very quiet, uses the 2 80mm fans in a push pull configuration, so no hot air is directed into your case.

The good thing is if you're running Crossfire and have been experiencing the background interference pattern (mainly noticable on dark colours), this supply seems to fix it, due to the shielding of the PCIE cables. You can also devote an entire 18a rail to each GPU, so there should be no lock ups under load (as I noticed with the Seasonic on a heavily loaded 1900 Crossfire system).
