NEW CORSAIR PROFESSIONAL SERIES™ GOLD AX HIGH PERFORMANCE POWER SUPPLIES - PRE ORDER

A PSU is the heart of your machine. It pumps (excuse the pun) all the power that your components need. You really want it to work flawlessly.

Having a dicky ticker is prob the worst thing to have wrong with you, same goes for PC.

absoultely. So all you people who bought HX's and the like better sell up because your £100 hx650's are no longer good enough.

Which many far cheaper PSU's from quality manufacturers already do.

These PSU's are tech demos, and the price is completely unjustified for 99% of systems. However that probably won't stop people buying them, or the OCUK hype machine from telling everyone they need one. This thread is most amusing.

100% agreed. There's a clear pattern emerging - advert for a new component goes up in every single forum then all the dons jump in telling us how good whatever they happen to be advertising is, along with reminding us how well they are selling.
 
Nice and extemely highly priced....

but for the price for psu and the efficiency, it is well worth it.. and modular as well seals the deal.

i`d gone for one of these instead of the tx650 corsair. as i find i don`t use as many cables, and would rather get rid of one instead of tucking it into the bottom of the case.
 
As Ace Modder says though, it could probably save you more than the extra £40 in electricity over time. Not sure that'd be a good enough selling point for me though.

If you have good quality PSU already I am not suggesting that you should ditch it and go out and buy this PSU. However if you are looking to upgrade for whatever reason (maybe your going SLi or Crossfire, or are adding more HDDs etc.) then if you require a more heavey laden PSU (wattage-wise) then these are a very good choice.

Of course if you have a HX 620W and are running 1 GPU, 1 or 2 HDD's one optical drive and a CPU, mobo, RAM and maybe a couple of fans then by all means you do not neccessarily need to upgrade.
 
The 750 pic looks just like my seasonic X-650, so the pedigree is there, a seriously good PSU with a fan that just never seems to come on. I hope that the Corsair is similar. I cannot hear my PSU at all.

so guys I was considering getting the BeQuiet 1kw or Corsair HX1000, would it be worth it to just plump up and get the AX1200 or would that be a massive waste and I should just get the AX850?
 
Planning on using one of the AX750's myself in my new system and the machine specs aren't going to be OTT, just a single card and overclocked CPU :)

Ahh yes of course, before these PSU's there was no such thing as peace of mind, we all lived on the bring of meltdown with our other high-priced 600-1000w PSU's. These exorbitantly priced ones are the only way to be sure of avoiding disaster. :)

Somebody obviously didn't get sex last night.:rolleyes:

They are professional series for a reason, reliable and efficient. Not "gamer" and maximum power.

I don't recall depicting which psu's out on the market which could not bring peace of mind in my last post do you? Dont think too much about what I write, theres no other meaning to the reply other than there not being any problem with paying a premium for peace of mind.
