Finally, a power supply that can shut me up for a good long time. My hardware’s demand for power has gone up considerable from upgrading my Intel Core2Duo E8400 to an Intel Core2Quad Q6600 and my 9800gtx+ to a GTX295. Good thing I built myself a 2nd rig for downloading and movies or else I’d have to factor in the tons of hard drives I’ve already got installed. I have a total of 7 combined hard drives distributed amongst the two computers.
Wow, Corsair has really done it this time with their new models the HX750 and HX850. I hope these things come out soon in our local market because I’ve been eyeing these things for a while now. And I’m sure I’m getting the best quality hardware from Corsair, be it Memory or Power Supply.
Pictures:
HX750W and HX850W measure 150*86*180mm, featuring MTBF of 100,000 hours. The single +12V rail design provide up to 62A/70A respectively, and support ATX12V 2.3 as well as EPS12V 2.91 standards.
Delivering up to 90% energy-efficiency and backed by 7-year warranty, the Corsair HX750W and HX850W are priced at €119 ($168) and €132($186).

Here’s a nice read for those of you who are in the market for a new Power Supply or a New Computer. I guess this one’s a pretty obvious. This article is about the analysis of how much watts each kind of computer really sucks from the wall and what kind of power supply it needs to power it all, from the homely office computer to the top of the food chain the high end gaming computers. Although it doesn’t really discuss anything about an overclocked gaming computer and how much overclocking affects power consumption, it does give you an overall idea of what you should be getting for yourself. But it does give you a good understanding of what to and what not to.
