It wouldnt be that hot maybe 60C....... Plus them PSUs are very efficient.

Um...its the one at the very left...

he's talking about the square 4pin connector, not the 24pin connector...which he's right it's not in the picture, but I'd assume it's the one next to it which is showing 8connections.

it's 1kw, doesn't mean it would use all that at a time, so I doubt it'd really be a toll on any power bill

Wow though, 70amps on 4 12v rails. Can you say overkill?

 

[Nubius]

you could practically power two computers off that thing lol

The reason for the 8 pin connecter is because that PSU is more for a highend server running Dual CPU's or Dual Cores. Most (Dual Core) ready MOBO's for the desktop are being made with 8 pins on the MOBO.

As for using it in a high-end gaming rig, it's not really over kill. Think about all of the OCin' World record holders. They all seem to have some beefed up 1350watt custom PSU. Put it this way, configure the highest end PC for gaming. Then add major overclocking to that. Now you're using it for what it's supposed to be used for in the desktop. A freakin' power plant... lol

Yeah it's pretty much overkill... lol

You watch, someone will try doing that before long...

 

[gaara]

That only seems pratically if you wanted to run a peltier of it or something, other than that...I don't really see a point to it...most computer components are becoming more power conservative

I assume you will be buying one havoc?

ehh 'drools' perhaps?

**** my next computer, im buying one of them things...
