#1021 - Zalman ZM1000-HP 1000W Power Supply Video Review

[4131025]

Can this psu cook an egg?

[sadicvampire]

Can anyone please tell me if this power supply is enough for a GTX 590 sli? or do i have to buy another?

[KEEVVY]

is this more quiet than the antec signiture or not?

[xXcartman69Xx]

dude i love your review and i look at them every time i need to know anything about a part because you have like everything but there one problem every time you do a review but power supply even the really good good ones like this one you still repeat the rails speech its good to have on some other power supplies but if your going to buy this power supply or something like it you should already know what rails are if not there idiots lol

[BlueBajs]

And, it does not have a removable motherboard tray.

[mataslt]

could i connect a 250v power cord to a 230v psu?

what would happen if i did?

[1Ali380]

@mataslt

Nothing....  -_-

[rabaduej]

umm, not a damn thing

[soda480]

if anyone is considering purchasing a zalman PSU do yourself a huge favor and reconsider. i bought the 850w version and am getting an annoying squeal. do your research, research Zalman PSU noise and you'll see what i mean.

[IloveMySnuggie22]

I have the 850w version and its awesome

[PeSiCkU007]

Help! I need a PSU that has to have 6x6pin PCI-e connectors for triple EVGA GTX 285!

Thanks!

[ohleck]

corsair hx1000

[sxy1rick]

which is best this or the hx1000

[ohleck]

I don´t know this, but the corsair is one of the best PSU partners you can get.

if i were you, would go with the hx1000

[pirtea]

buy a psu bigger than 1000W buy a TAGAN 1300 W

[iOWNu1111]

hey 3DGAMEMAN ive got a question which might be a stupid one, could i have 2 PSU's on my pc? for example one for my motherboard and fans and the other for video cards etc etc??

[sattanhellsing]

Yes , you can do it . But one of the PSU will need to be powered manually before/after you start up your pc .

to explain : the Extra PSU will need to have a little custom switch on the 20/24 big rail . that it .

I have done it , is easy and require no big understanding in electric .

[WeeGreg90]

This may sound stupid but i have a Antec 1200 case and as you may know the power supply goes at the bottom of the case. On the power supply the 140 mm fan is on the bottom, can this be solved by turning upside down or will it just not fit altogether?

[rdt1970]

hi all my zalman 1000w arrived today and installed it (please be aware i had a ULTRA X3 1000W never let me down but a noisey bastard period under medium to full) Back to my zalman hp1000 its a great deal quieter (A LOT!!) can just about hear it. turns out that this psu is neater than the ULTRA but woulve been nice 100% modular but i aint complaining one bit. it cost me £170inc del really all PSU's should be the spec no excuse witha fan controller 7fans my system will be silent

good job ZALMAN

[ExtremalZ]

Ohh, i have that power suply :D

[NecroUserPed]

would this PSU fit into a Antec 1200 case?

[oman2310]

yeah that case is like HUGE.

it'll probably fit in a 900 too .

[NecroUserPed]

Cheers, its all built now and everything fits fine! it truly is HUGE! but amazing

[jeanforthewin]

i got this psu but the 600w version

in several reviews theyve said that the 600w can easily pull 740w so they could label it as 700w zalman are just being... modest?

[ekgomes]

Rodney Swayze :-)

[Henzzzzz15]

As i saw u can run two 4870X2 with it?

[smartwarlord]

[denshisan]

[igob8a]

Zalman makes some niiice stuff!

[MattyHild]

[dusthillguy]

Oh, Rodney! KICKASS Power Supply! Wicked!

[BrytaPlanka]

That looks very awsome! Im impressed!

[gomoma]

[gredc0]

HAHAHA i got this PSU loooong before i watched this :)

[dreamcastdc]

Love the HD videos 3dgameman.

[sometube123]

[ekgomes]

Zalman is very good mark, but you is very ugly dude :)

[MugenRac1ng]

And you suck in English

[artillerypr]

And you suck losing your time for say this. racist.hater.n00b

[MugenRac1ng]

How can that comment be racist. I'm Dutch.

If you don't know what to say then don't say anything.

[artillerypr]

is racist, why he talking about his english? you dont understand so be quiet =)

[MugenRac1ng]

Haha, that ain't racist. What word made it racist stupid coño...

[artillerypr]

mamabicho que si es racist, this is no review for talk about his english i understand perfect, this is a review for talk about powersupply so cabron coño...

[MugenRac1ng]

Okay okay wait... Your the Jalapeno on a stick! That's racist!

[artillerypr]

lol account closed ^^ n00b

[Xenoon007]

wow very nice in HD

[Epsilon0703]

Looks good! My Nintendo Wii makes that stand-by noise. It's so annoying. Thinking about selling it.

[maxit0x]

I think Youtube (google ppl) need more space in that HHD hahahahaha for that they delete some vids time to time...

[trogdor097]

this looks so good in HD

[gomoma]

yeah looking good so far

[bannard16]

lol he says watt like waaat and z like zaaad

[sikcnt]

Nice but too many leads are hard wired

[defragen1]

is this a tutorial or a review...

[notskorn]

Rodney what are the best clothes to wear if you are working on computers?

[drunken88]

Jumper, and find some whwere some very wooly pants and socks.

[Ratamhata]

yes really great one, am using the zalman 850-hp model for about a year now and its really silent

[asus3571]

whats the difference between apfc and ppfc thats what my psu says

[MN12BIRD]

Passive Power Factor Correction or Active Power Factor Correction. I don't know what the difference is in terms of how they work but Active is best. I've never actually seen a PPFC PSU before. I've just seen APFC or no PFC at all.

[will2993]

:0 MN12BIRD! u and 3dgm are my two favorite people!

[frogscar]

Q: what happened to Q/A Nº111???

[3DGAMEMAN]

Good question, I'd like to ask YouTube myself. For some reason YT removes videos randomly from time to time. I have no idea why! I then have to upload them again. Booooo

[InternetSandman]

please do a review of the ABS Tagan BZ1300 PSU!! your amazing rodeny but you have no ABS products in your reviews!!

[mcdoyoyo]

tagan are awful. dreadful support.. they've even deleted their technical support forum! There is a fault with the BZ range meaning with certain graphics cards it makes a very loud high pitched squeal under load.

[Neoxym]

Zad? Cool way of saying Z. Usually say "Zed" or "Zee".

[burnoutnt]

my dog ate half of one of the PSU's wires.

[Norskr]

Why is it you explain how power supplies work and what to look for in every overview? These video would be about 20 seconds if you didn't, that way you'd have room for a proper review.

[DerekFord95]

Yep :P

[stupidguyaabbcc]

80amps? holy shit

[doomtomb3]

Seems very weird that Zalman doesn't offer a power switch on their PSUs

[dragunov3r]

Indeed,I hate not having one...Especially considering my PC keeps a half second charge after I power it off and turn off my PSU.

[igob8a]

O snap that's a nice PSU

[Lvaneede]

core 2 duo at 4.3GHz? nice overclocking

[quincy965]

&fmt=22

[fredo69]

I just noticed your from Canada!

[MugenRac1ng]

This PSU is awesome btw, I have the 850W. The only problem is the power switch that is missing...

[Wakkajakka]

I'm just gonna buy me 2 cheap 500 watt power supplies. Then I'll have my Frankenstein cheap good computer complete. :P

[MugenRac1ng]

How are you planning too mount 2 psus?

[Cotton926]

duh antec 1200 case u can use one on top and one on bottom

[Wakkajakka]

Well actually I'm cheap, and lazy, so I have a power supply above it on the lower ledge of my desk. I'd just put another one next to it, and have that one power excess fans, and my video cards. I don't plan on going anywhere with it otherwise I'd just get a bigger supply, or case. Ventalation specs are 2 tabletop fans blowing on my motherboard constantly, and I hit it with air duster every few days to clear nasty paticals off. lol

[niggasoffdablock]

6 rails?

thats disappointing. 40 amps is tribble. if someone wants to run this with couple of gtx 280 tell them, GOOD LUCK! they take about 20 to 25 each

[notToast]

wee we can watch in HD!

now i can have a crystal clear image of your face

[Dawg805]

hey man i have a question what is the best mother board for gaming??? koz i wanna start collecting parts for my custom computer cause i wanted to built 1 with my friend so yeah get at me pls thnx :)

[Someguy676]

Once again a great review.

[vipor29]

is there a way to find out how many watts your using in your pc thru software?

[maxit0x]

Corsair HX1000w is better

[EliteSoldier112]

Much better, but the Silverstone DA1000W PSU is one killer PSU. It's got a single rail which is really what your looking for, the only reason I went with the Corsair TX750W instead of the Corsair HX1000W was because it had a single rail design.

[Dan4157]

But can it handle quad 4870x2's in crossfire?!

[SavinForMacBook]

lol prolly not

[Wolfie123123]

You mean two 4870x2s?

yes.

[Dan4157]

Two 4870x2's aint nothing. Can crossfire support 4 4870x2's though? I know it can support 4 single GPUS.

[cornholioman123]

No,it's the same thing with x2 nvidia GPUs also.

[vesleengen]

4 Nvidia geforce 9800GX2 can be set up i SLI

[r3tardation]

no you can't. each 9800GX2 has 2 gpus in each video card.you can only have 2 9800GX2's in a pc because they haven't made the drivers for 3-way SLI for the 9800GX2

[zgmurph]

You can only SLI 2 9800GX2's since they already have 2 cores in each card.

[Brian86992DH]

incorrect, please try again

[rdt1970]

hi do you have this psu and if so whats the noise like under full load i have an ultra x3 its to loud so selling it

[Wolfie123123]

My friend does and it's not much louder under load, You'll have a hard time getting it to full load anyway.

It won't be the loudest thing in your PC anyway.

[rdt1970]

cheers wolfie put my order into today :) had ultra x3 1000w watt rekon i use 700w as i have 17 940, GIGABYTE x58 ex, 6gb ddr3, 7 1TB HDS, 1,dvd, x2 4870x2, raid card x2 usb 250 external hds. ultra x3 under this load is far to loud hence sold it cant wait for new zalmaw 1000w do you know if it supports tri sli? cheers mate

[Wolfie123123]

So long as there's enough PCI-Express connectors then yes.

It's nVIDIA certified for sure.

@everyone else: Corsair 1000W PSUs are the standard for pretty much ANY high-end build. You'd be fine.

[rdt1970]

take mate thanks for info :)

[Frank2029]

no it cannot handle. you might need 1200w PSU or greater if you can find one. also i heard of some people running a multiple PSU setup.

[tombmxcrowley]

yes.

[PCG520]

Damn, it's even modular.

Pretty large PSU though.

Also, like always, skip half the video explaining rails, etc.

[wilmeriscool]

nice review 3d

[xkyrulzx]

nice!
