Tuniq Ripper 1000 Watt Power Supply Review

[DiDolRuChagi]

Why are your idle voltages higher than your load volts?

[nascarsuxx]

I've had this PSU for over a year, it hasn't failed at all, but..my biggest complaint is actually the rebate, YOU WILL NEVER GET IT ! I WAS to get a $80 rebate no dice ! I hope it doesn't blow up, I'm going to 2X EVGA GTX 480 SLI, if the PSU goes, I'll go with Corsair or Antec .

[ltohio]

According to SpeedFan 4.39 my -12v rail is -16.97 as well + my -5v is -8.78 do you know if this would cause random crashes and restarts and if there is any way to remedy it? my psu is a Corsair 750TX so if its broken i could send it in but im not sure if that means its broken

[uut0]

my -12v is acctually -16.97v is this bad?

[PCWizKid]

@uut0 , that does nto sound right, should be anywhere from 11volts to 13volts, thats too high.

[uut0]

is there anything that i can do about it except changing the psu?

[cardboardsnail]

It's really a shame that they decided to cheap out on the capacitors in the Ripper

(They use "REC" brand capacitors on the primary)

Everything else about it is pretty good

[SeikoPsycho]

my thermaltake psu loooks exactly the same as this one

[hahabendover]

did u do a vid on

ur cable management?

if u haven't could u?

[NuMb3r1PuNjAbI94]

To put it in simple terms: If you don't have enough power to run your computer, it won't work.

[killerinstinct1337]

all you need to know is that with a power supply that's too weak , your computer's going to bust.

I recently bought a new video card and it fried 3 of my power supplies.

[hellstudios]

well I BELIEVE watts... correct me if im wrong, but Watts is a measurement of how far electricity can travel..... i.e. 9v, 900w would travel farther than 9v, 100w...

Although I could be and most likely am, wrong.

[abdullahamir]

Thanks mjan nice review but pls reply to my pm

[Chick6517]

Haha AWESOME Video!!

I absoulutely loved it!

Thanks for posting it!

[maaaaanny]

what would be the first thing you should buy when trying to upgrade your existing pc to a gaming pc?

[PCWizKid]

Depends on what parts you have already to upgrade. Most people will upgrade the CPU and Video Card first.

[maaaaanny]

but wouldn't i need the power supply before the video card?

[PCWizKid]

It depends on how old your power supply is. Maybe not.

[maaaaanny]

its about 2 years old. but i dont think its a high watt power supply.

[AirForce194]

You will probably need to get a new one, you probably will not need something this powerful

[hellstudios]

My 300w PSU is doing just fine with my video card. :D and it's pretty decent.

[AirForce194]

But what video card do you have? The brand of Power supply and the video card make a huge difference.

[AirForce194]

The Video card usally, but it depends on what you already have. I can help you if you tell me your specs.

[shirke01]

Your review's are fantastic!!!

[coijoi]

[musa0217]

[Younowkoed]

[holdensrock8]

[johnx113]

[PCWizKid]

@johnx113 , lol, your kidding me right? ;-D

[johnx113]

I'm not kdding :P

[WestCoastMods]

Hey WizKid nice review, sure would like to see you do a review in real time. the voiceover is good, but not very personal.

Cheers

LazyMan

[PCWizKid]

@WestCoastMods, I'll try, not sure how good the live audio will be. Will see....

[MovieMakingFan99]

awesome man nice reviews and the products you review always seem to perfectly fit on you computer!!!!!!!

[PCWizKid]

@yeti6593 , Hi watch my other reviews on PSU's I have reviewed modular PSU's also which essentially means the cables are not attached to the PSU. You chose the cables you need .

[Roly702]

Looks like a nice PSU. Do you think btw that the new enermax 92% efficient ratings are actually true or bs? I'm about to build a expensive rig for my mate and usually I'd choose the HX1000w like I have (An advantage is that apparently all teh Rev85+ PSUs all also future-proofed for possible new connectors for GPUs etc).

Also when will you have some nvidia/intel stuff to play with? :P

[OjStudios]

Answer as an automationelectrician: over 90% is possible but very unlikely in computer PSU. If there really is over 90% effiency in some point, its not very long term, only in some wattage/usage. It's efficient to buy a bigger supply than needed but not too powerful. Best effiency is 60-80% load in many cases. =)

[dankill16]

i suggest you put more ram. you have a great cpu. and use a solid state drive to run cooler and faster.

[mrdrastic]

what's the song in the intro?

it's great.

[MajinFrahma]

Thats enough psu connectors and molex cables to power a small country!

Great review man.

[Cobija13]

i need some help deciding how much wattage i need. i currently have a 500w and idk what to do. i have a 9800gtx, and dont wanna really say other stats unless you wanna help me.

[DavidPlim]

i would say you would have enough for it. i have an 8800gts and 200 watt.

[claytybob]

To be safe I'd do 750w AT LEAST

[martinolatino123]

For 1 it's 9800GTX is fine (try to get 500-600 watt) but the 500 watt will support it no problem but if you want for a later upgrade of 2 way sli get 750-850 watt.

[martinolatino123]

Not really it's cheap and all but it is really reliable as a Core i7 PSU i have had one for 4 months no problems but maybe i lucked out =/

Plus modular doesn't matter since after your 60$ rebate it cost 100$ in total :)

[marquesbrownlee]

very nice!

[pcandcargeek28]

looks like a good psu, nice vid

[cusinndzl]

Cool video.

[agure007]

cool

[sniper4usmc]

too much cables...modular is way to go...Corsair 1000w FTW!

[Omellykim]

hellz ya nigga

[z1pfL]

if u know how to do cable management its not really a problem - u just have a little thicker string whihc goes directly behind the motherboard tray...

and u can sleeve ALL cables together, untill they're behind the moBo tray & then u just get one thick worm which doesnt really looks bad, actually better if it would be thin...

[438426x1]

lol cool it says u added ur review 12 seconds ago
