cannot la bro...

i open both of them..still no info regarding voltage appear...

need to enable sumthing huh??ur G15 display the voltage detail ke??

here, it's better continue disscusing over there...

so they change the HDD-SATA power to 6-pin PCIE molex really easy for DIY cables

Well, if u look for my previous review of the OP750. Look at the pix of the internals of the OP750. Everything is much better. The assembly, build quality, soldering is by robots in Taiwan. The ST is cheaper by comparison coz they hafta make it in China to reduce costs. So the quality is not as high as OP series. Specifications is not as good as OP also. Let's just say the OP1000 is a Mercedes S320 and the ST1000 is a Mercedes E320. Same capacity but different class.

As I said in the conclusion, it's meant for the enthusiast on a budget.






I wasn't told about the retail price. I will post it up once I get the retail price from the local distributors Inter-Asia.






There's not much difference between AMD n Intel. They're all about the same now. We're not talking about the Intel Prescott volcanoes anymore like last time.






Not really. For the person who can afford the very best, they can buy the DA1200 if they like modular wires. The main selling point of the ST1000 is a good solid 1000W PSU at a more affordable price range.

The OP1000 is much bigger and heavier. OP1000 is longer by 4cm n heavier by 600g.

ooo... seems more than it meats the eye to me...
and did u manage to get it's temperature...?

finally found it xD thanks for the tip sniper!!

ouu...the difference between both psu is the made quality ler...

anyway,it seems strider seems affordable..but the most intrigueing side is the pcie 8 pin...

is it this strider a new version??u said that,the previous strider didnt fully sleeve rite??need to pay attention if sumbody ought to buy this psu..hope can get this one la..8pin pcie!!!

Mind to post some readings of all 3 rails on idle and load using DMM?

8 pin sux if you are on NVidia...

i had to use molex to convert to 6-pin and ignore the 8-pin that comes with the psu... ( the industry should have a standard next time!!! )

Nope.

AMD Quad FX + 2x 2900XTs.

*glee* Great for baking and all-purpose fabric drying.

1. Any link showing that this ST1000 is made in China?
2. What is the OEM company that made this unit?
3. What actually indicates the build quality is of a lower level? Specifically?
4. What components used that are good and more than enough for enthusiasts? Specifically?



1. Do you think testing a PSU using a high end rig (proc, mem, vga) with loads of fans and ccfl lights is actually sufficient to know the true full load potential of a psu?
2. Is it a psu which can withstand the above mentioned hardwares = rock solid psu?



1. Is it software readings trust-worthy for the true voltage measurement?
2. The Speedfan is sufficient to test a psu fluctuation?



1. Is it a psu that can survive after running Dual Prime95 torture up to Test 2 800000, while running a loop of 3Dmark06 = rock solid psu?
2. Is it a psu actually affects 3dmark06 score?

ouch ,,, new PSU ianho alreadi open the casing *pain*

take a real deep look... it's Made In China...

answered...

the OEM of this PSU? if only uncle can get us closer image of the PSU's label

about the software reading... yes indeed, it can be wrong, no... it's not as accurate as DMM or whatsoever... maybe we can ask Mr. empire23?

can keep my pies warm as well.... while i'm busy fragging...

What i can tell from the PSU's internal pics is that it is indeed well made. A good indication is that the primary choke uses a litz braid with probable progressive windings.

The twin trannies probably indicate a half bridge converter with centralized feedback instead of the Olympia's one output per feedback channel.

Goddamnit Marty Brown's PSU cookbook FTW.

yeah....why there is no DMM reading on each rails??? i think it shd be more accurate than software reading... btw DMM = Digital Multi Meter incase you dunno...

woah thats hot stuff man still prefer the OP model

i didnt know the type of psu affects the 3d mark scores?
aiks

who says so?

the psu only going to affect the system stability and potential to O/C higher

it has nothing to do with 3dmark scores

haiyoooo I never said anything about the PSU giving more marks lar. I used it to stress the rig as much as I can. If can I will plug in the ST1000 n OP1000 together to get more marks ler.

any word bout the retail price??
