ah so my bad where this 1kwatter come from, diam2 ubi only, this rig hv officially become my dream rig

B4 I start this next update, I wud like to say thanks again to my wonderful, wonderful, fantastic n ever supportive sponsors Silverstone n Inter-Asia Sdn Bhd. They provided me with this fantastic power supply called the Silverstone Olympia 1000W today. I had sum problems powering up my rig with the new 8800GTXs in SLi last night. I then relayed my problems to them in the morning n voila! By 6pm on the same day, I had already received this fantastic Power Supply Unit to fully power up King Kong. I can't thank them enough.

Now, on to the hardware update n pix pix pix.

The PSU comes nicely packed in a big huge box. It's as big as a shoe box. Humongous! Check out the specs on the front of the box. Absolutely fantastic specs. 80Amps 12V single rail. Continuous 1000Watts at 50C! Can u spell F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C ? With the 12V single rail at 80Amps, we no longer haf to scratch our heads n calculate if each individual rail is enough for the things we're plugging them into. Just plug everything u haf into it without worrying. Now, that's what I call a great PSU.







The behemoth is out of the box. I've put my standard ATX sized 300W PSU next to it to show u guys just how big this OP1000 is. It comes in a really nice matt black finish for the proper King Kong look too.







Look at the power cords. Take a guess on which 1 belongs to the OP1000? Look at how fat it is. Big giant PSU with big giant wires to make sure u never haf problems.







Not only is the PSU a fantastic PSU, it's even future proofed. Look at all the wires that comes with it. Lotsa molex n SATA plugs. 4x 6pin PCIe for 8800GTX SLi, it also comes with 2x 8pin PCIe plugs in anticipation of the ATi R600 which is supposed to use 6pin n 8pin PCIe plugs on 1 card. It even has 2x 8pin ATX mobo plugs for server mobos. It's all nicely labeled to make sure u dont use the wrong plugs.








Well, dats it for now. I just spent the last 2 days testing my 8800GTX SLi installation n also to check on the power requirements. Now that I have the OP1000, my power requirement nightmare is solved. It's now time to start finishing up the rig in preparation for the Silverstone LANparty this Sunday, 25th of March. Hopefully I'll haf sum time to make full use of this wonderful PSU. If there is spare time b4 the LANparty, I'll start playing with my BIOS settings again n overclock everything nicely. I had to reset all BIOS settings to default this morning, in order for my rig to run with the 600W PSU I had. Hours of BIOS settings gone just like that. Thanks to this King Kong PSU, I'll be able to overclock everything to the sky again.

I am speechless. If only i have time to attend the LAN party this sunday

i wonder how heavy that thing is

Very,very very, heavy!

wtf uncle.. 1k watt.. = ="
GILA power now.. so ur 600 watt how?? wanna sell? xP

tot so..as expected..
but its not the modular type aeh? which u can juz plug in the cable that needed to be used..
so are u gonna sleeve it?

There is a reason y Silverstone made it non modular. It's to reduce resistance. The more plugs u haf the worse it gets. It can also get dangerous, imagine hi amperage components with loose plugs. Modular PSUs r there only because of demand from customers. It's purely a cosmetic thing which compromises the function of a good solid PSU. All the top PSUs dont come with modular plugs 1.

oh...uncle, you keep on keep us drooling... faster take the photo and show us the new juicy hardware...

man~ siao eh!!! o.O this new power reactor sure gonna kao kao tat monyek like baboon on steroid.

and the psu, its so big! i don think it can fit into my puny case. XD shoe box i got plenty, but this... man... as big as my box. ^^

quick quick ya uncle, picta picta!!!

the module type 1200watts on the Silverstone website liao, and those psu original manufactory by Seventeam. but i want to say is "WTF! you got the nice PSU!!"

Ya I know about the Decathlon series but that is to cater to the less extreme enthusiasts. They want easy to manage wires for a better looking rig.

The Olympia range however, still caters to the extreme enthusiasts who demand only the best n don't care about modular wires. I care a lot about looks too since I'm a case modder n want King Kong II to look at it's best. BUT when it comes to supplying power to my rig, I put the priority on performance. After all, any modder worth his salt shd be able to manage the cables nicely. So for me, performance of the PSU shud take priority over looks.


Oh ya, since kalakatu asked how heavy it is, it's 3.6kg! 3.6kg worth of pure goodness.

That's surely one beefy PSU ...... i wonder how much it would cost when it hit the retail shelf.....

anyway uncle will u sleeve the remaining end of the cables.... since it's not sleeved.

yap, you are right performance always important then look, m.. i think your Olympia have both performance and serious look too.

3.6kgs! ok that is heavy then cap ayam casing! so i think your complete system without keyboard, mouse and 30" Apple panel will be 30kgs?!

It's already available for sale. U can get it for rm1299 from any of the dealers in LYP. Yeah I'll be sleeving the ends of the molex n SATA wires just like how I sleeved the Strider 560 which I did the other day. Dunno y Silverstone's style is semi sleeving. I will be sure to provide feedback to Silverstone that they shud sleeve the PSUs completely. That wud b so much better.





Ya I think in the end the whole rig is gonna weight close to 30kgs! I will weight the whole rig once I've completed it. Remind me to update u guys on the total system weight later.
