So I'm upgrading to a 1100W. Now before you say "You only have that for bragging rights", you're wrong. As technology is always advancing, we're always going to need more and more power. Better to buy 1 epic one, then several small ones which you upgrade from time to time. So my question is, would this PSU fit inside my case?
Poor logic, and regardless, Coolermaster 1100W units will fail and shut down at about 700W anyway. if you want a be all end all power supply that will last you forever, buy a Zalman ZM-850HP.
This PSU actually got a good review in ATOMIC magazine, but was held back a little by the new kind of cable which puts out more amps than a standard one.
That statement doesn't make sense in the laws of electricity. Very few sites have the means to test a PSU's rated wattage. The ones that do find that over 80% of all Kilowatt PSUs fail well before 1000W, because they don't expect anyone's PC to use that much power, it's false advertising, basically. To an extent though, they're right, unless you use multiple graphics cards and/or processors, the most powerful gaming PC you can buy will consume less than 450W from the PSU.
Which makes zero mention of how much power the unit can actually produce, only that it has a different power cable plug for no reason.
The test was made to show which ones actually put out a decent amount. I don't know if this helps. Avg voltage 12v 11.600 5v 4.899 3.3v 3.308
That's voltage, it doesn't tell you how much the power supply was actually producing (watts) at the time, and in any case those results are poor, that voltage is dangerously low to causing to stability problems.
Well then did you wish to suggest a PSU? I'm looking for at least 800+ with: Molex connectors x5+ PCI-E 8 Pin x2+ PCI-E 6 Pin x3+ SATA x4+ Floppy x1 CPU 4+4 Pin x 2+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139007 Why on earth you want two 8-pin CPU connectors I've no idea, no board has any more than one except for Skulltrail Dual CPU systems. If you do want one of those (the CPUs and motherboard alone cost several thousand dollars) this PSU can deal with it, as it has six 8-pin connectors.
For reference, this Power supply has been tested and verified to run a Skulltrail (Dual Core 2 Quad QX9775 130W Chips) system overclocked to over 4Ghz with three GTX280 graphics cards on a regular basis for hours successfully. Numerous other 1KW units have failed this task.
