I did neglect to say the Antec PSUs I have are rather large. But my Silverstone TJ07 houses two standard sized PSUs so never had an issue.... lol. I was mainly using the 1000w for specs in comparison more so than thinking about size and case configuration. Good catch oz.
@ Bones, The Rosewill Hercules is a beast. In size and power. 1600w aren't they?

Yes, it's a 1600W unit.

run the G3 1000w from EVGA myself works just fine

Wow, that Hercules is gigantic... Sure would make it so that my OpenBenchTable isn't going anywhere though with that much weight to it *laughs nervously*
But yeah, odds are I'll go with the 1000W G3 simply because of local availability, and they're known good performers.

Don't drop it on your foot......
These have been nothing but good, it's what I've been using for a few years now with just about everything I've been doing. There are times I have to step down to something else largely due to the ATX plug not fitting on the board but overall no complaints about these.
Great for Tri-SLI setups and I've done it a few times with these - Didn't even grunt with 3 8800GTX cards hooked up with all else going full tilt too.

850 Gold OCZ here, purchased on the AU forums ... $30AU iirc hey Chris Such a bargain ... Then my friend traded me a 850 Seasonic Platnium ... While not big units, they sure are quality. I've have some rough time on boards being caput, that may be due to other old psu's here. Now getting the flic

Great for Tri-SLI setups and I've done it a few times with these - Didn't even grunt with 3 8800GTX cards hooked up with all else going full tilt too. One thing I would like to know is how they get those Rosewill 1600 Watt power supplies certified for North America they are 80% plus efficiency 1600 Watt output at 80% at full load 1600 / .8 = 2000 Watt from the wall at full tilt. The US wall outlets are only rated at 110v x 15A = 1650 watt your wiring had better be good or it might just burn the house down. If you are going to run one hard better to run it off 220v split phase. It wouldnt of felt 3 8800GTX cards Rodney the standard 3 phase VRM on those can only supply about 150 watt 8800GTX really suck in the power delivery department. It would run 4 way sli with a mild rise in voltage and overclock fairly easy. 1000 watt power supplies cant or can under 2D but will overload under 3D and shut down. GTX580, 680, 780, 980, 1080 reference cards all pull about 250 watt under heavy 3D load custom cards like Classy Lightning Matrix pull more 4 x 250 = 1000 good luck with the rest of the system. Radeon R9-290 pull around 300 watt a card. What power you need is subjective to what you are doing. One thing about Graphics cards is power draw rises exponentially with voltage and clocks, a lot more so than CPUs TIN I am sure you all know who he is had an article about how much power you really need a LN2 cooled GTX580 pulling 800 watt peaks. forum.kingpincooling.com/showthread.php?t=1203

Most newer US housing is 120v @ 20a now. Still......make sure.

Post by Macsbeach98 on May 28, 2018 8:43:37 GMT -5
Ah so thats how they are certified they would be pretty safe anyway on a 15A line not many would hold them at full tilt for long. Actually 20A brings ya's more into line with most of the rest of the world 2200 watt ours is 240v 10A 2400 watt.

Certain places in the house we run 30amp breakers. A have a couple for the kitchen and out in the garage.... Amerika also has 240v...... It's what my washer and dryer, air compressor and so forth run on.....

Anyone here manage to install DOTNETFIX 2.0 on WinXP? I've read that you need it to get HWMon to read GPU temps. I have the Install but when I execute it I get a popup directing to use the "Add/Remove Windows Component" but I cant find it there nor can I browse to add it to the Windows Component list.
anyone have a suggestion?
I have no issues with HWMon reading the GPU temps in Windows 7, but I can't get it in WinXP.
Thoughts/Suggestion?

I use it, also .net 3.5 pending the bench. I have offline installers for both. I will link you to my one drive.

other than this case for HWMon, why else would you install .net anything on a benching OS? Vin Because some of the tweaking programs we use require .net

(using EVGA's eleet on my classified MB) but that's about it atm. MSI AB I don't think needs .net, and I don't remember installing any .net for nVidia Inspector. seems I don't tweak enough Vin

wow, yep, been under a rock. Vaguely remember those apps, didn't think they were all that applicable anymore. seems I'm wrong.
anyone have BTUK? have .net 3.5, OCX and Memset.

I can plug it into certain boards if there is enough room for the overhang of the extra 4 pins but not every board has this room. Luckily every board I have that uses only a 20 pin isn't one that would draw a good deal of power and my 500W unit can handle those - It has the 20+4 ATX plug. To clarify: Yes, you can literally plug it into a 20 pin ATX header if the surrounding components of the board's plug won't prevent it on the side these extra 4 pins would be sticking out.

the plug adaptor is quick and easy, dont have to stuff around changing over psus, suits my evga 1200, 1300's and the enermax 1350 b4 it blew up

I'll have to look into one of those adapters, would make it a little easier for some things at least.
ATM I'm using the 500W for a board that is a 20 pin, it even seems to work better in some ways with the older boards.
As a side note, the rain bands for the storm are moving in here and I was just out doing a little work on my tower, that's coming along slowly but surely and almost ready to reassemble now. Have it all inside the shack so the weather isn't affecting my work with it.
I'll have it ready for stage 5 guys.

Inspector needs Dotnet2 or 3.5
Be wary of those adaptors Rodney I had 2 here that I threw in the bin one couldnt even power my NF7 properly when overclocking had skinny shitty cable on it maybe taking it apart and soldering the ends could of fixed it I dont know. Changed over to using the cable from my booster its got good thick cables and the problem was gone a better overclock straight away. I have to find another or make up my own its easy enough to buy the pins that go in the plastic plugs.

It's what my washer and dryer, air compressor and so forth run on..... Its 220v split phase isnt it which is just 2 110v lines in opposing phase. Here for the heavy duty stuff we have 415v 45A 3 phase. But generally electric hot water services and stoves generally run on 240v 20A single phase.

In the home for 240 can be wired either way. Depends on how they wire the panel.
The Industrial or Heavy stuff I've seen 660v and higher. It depends on the needs. I've seen canadian wiring at our shop while one of our compressors run off a 3 phase 240v. It was the strangest thing I've ever saw. Big motor though....
