Hey guys,

i remember @last years CeBIT, Enermax had a display on its Galaxy PSU powering 4 full specs rigs simultaneously~!!!

The Enermax STRIKES again this yr~

OMG!!!
Enermax Galaxy 1000W powering quad procs, 4 stick of RAMs , 24 HDDs n other peripherals such as fans
This is d most power consuming rig I ever seen...

Oh gosh.. think of the trees and the furry lil animals that'll be affected if everybody starts building quad SLI rigs.

Why do we even need quad SLI anyway. It' s not that playing games on 30" display 200fps is gonna make you more 1337 or godlike anyway

does this proofs that a 'normal' rig with one processor, two sticks of ram, one 8800GTX and 1/2 harddisk, a 400W True Power PSU would suffice?

^ my OCed X2 with 7950GX2, quad Raptors, high voltage rams and dual optical drives doesn't even tax my 500 watter enough to even make it sing lah. This high wattage grab is just countering the processor industry's shift to performance per watt.

seriously... 90% of users dont need 1k watt PSU like that

unless u got quad sli/ dual 8800GTX, u need the mostly 700watt though..

i think it's about, what Enermax can do with 1kW PSU...to proving that she can do it..., personally, yes...90% of us, didn't even use that much of power...

Yup
1kW still far beyond most average users.
Even workstation also seldom use up PSU wif 1kW rating.

yup yup

most of us definitely wont need tat Galaxy 1kw psu 4 our rigs...

but as far as IT goes...every manufacturer will push d limits with their tech/products...
& every end-users/enthusiast would most often wanted 2 know bout greatest hardwares...even though they wont own 1... rite?
we cant b goin backwards on IT technology rite???

wat Enermax was doin all this while is to show tat they're d very very very few among all those PSU out there tatz really TRUE in performance&power!!!
agree???

not only their whooping Galaxy 1kw...but other series they have r also GREAT, POWERFUL/ STABLE & RELIABLE...
haha..i wont deny tat i'm an Enermax user as well la...

Added on March 27, 2007, 7:45 pmitz not only about how high d wattage is... other aspects hav 2 b taken into consideration s well: reliability & stability r some of it!!!

s far s workstations/servers/ rigs tat r operating 24/7 (almost 365) all these requires both of d above

this psu suck high electricity, how much monthly bill if use this monster... btw do we really need such high end psu...

If u r stay in kolej then fine coz UTM will pay d electric bill
Fully utilize ur kolej fees b4 grad!

Suck electricity? Why?

Not the most efficient way of powering a 200W rig but why?

haha, 1kw sucks 1kw of power to run your sub 300watts rig.

all your components will blow up and burn down your house and kill your whole family while they're asleep.

even if it's a 1jigawatts flux capacitor PSU, if your rig only draws 300watts max, it'll still use 300watts ONLY!!!.

It has absolutely no affect on your electric bill.

icic.. did what the max watt if someone hv ring like this:
e6600
asus p5n-e sli
8800gts
2gb ram
250gb hdd
dvdrw
fan
lil mod(led)

did it reach 300watt or over it

More a marketing strategy. YOu'd be smacked in the face over the "performance" of the 4rigs combined.

They're trying to make you go "WOW!! OMG1337H4XOMFGROXXOR!!!oneone!!!11!!"

pardonning your typo's, I'd say for this rig, it'll barely sweat even if you installed a 500W PSU anyway. After all, C2D has designed max TDP of 65W. Not to mention DDR2 using lower volatages, the ancillaries using a few watts each, and the 8800GTS? 175W, max.... (Theoretical, would be less in real life)

8800GTX only has 185W max load.

anyway, ENERMAX do this to show that they are capable and reliable company. for more info, can look through Computer Power User (CPU) May 07 issue. got high-end and mid-range psu comparisons.

PC n Power Cooling USD499 1KW PSU, anyone?

*yes, may issue. not a typo. i know month of april don't even start yet...

Reliable is questionable as I've noticed lots of Enermax's giving tons of headaches to owners here and overseas. But I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt if less and less people are going to complain about it.

do we all really need 1k...i reckon its more for the glam factor....just like my c*** is bigger than yours, now its my psu wattage is bigger than yours... lol
