14-Way 1000W+ Power Supply Comparison

Tue 2009-11-03 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

X-bit Labs have tested and compared an impressive fourteen different power supplies, each sporting a wattage rating in excess of 1000W+.

Let's see what they had to say:

"When I began this test session I did not expect to find any really bad samples of PSUs. There are generally no quality-related problems with 1000W and higher products as yet. Indeed, all of the 14 models I have discussed comply with their specs and show stable and reliable operation. However, there are products that can be specifically singled out as leaders.

First of all, it is the Enermax Revolution 85+ ERV1050EWT. Enermax has promised a power supply with best possible specs and seems to have delivered it. This is a quiet, high-wattage, stable PSU with a generous selection of connectors and excellent efficiency. Enermax is the best product in this review."
