No matter what the wattage of the new PSU is, your system will still only draw what it needs. And if the new PSU is MORE efficient than the old one, a new PSU can actually be cheaper to operate (all other things being equal)...it could even be FREE (or "less than free") to upgrade, if you figure out your savings over the life of the new PSU...
I wuz considerin gettin 1 of these but then I realised that the electricity bill would be through the roof! Our kettles only 1000w!!!! Its like constantly boiling water in a kettle!
@PCWizKid: Can i be install thisPSU in especific into the CM Storm Sniper case? Sorry if i insisted you to answer me in other videos, but i need to response me. Thanks and cheers.
This power supply looks great, for any high end gaming system, and at 1200 watts you have room to upgrade.
But there is one thing I would like to point out. The modular connections from the PSU to the cables adds a marginal amount of resistance. From tests I have conducted the resistance of the modular connection is the equivilant of 6 feet of more cable.
This is not a very big deal, unless you strive for maximum efficancy.
Seems to be great product, but 1200W is just insane, even hc players or programmers etc. don't need over 750w(IMO),and if the heat or noise isn't causing a trouble, the electrical bill will. lol
I doubt he sends the stuff back. Manufacturers send out TONNES of review equipment for free, on the proviso that it's reviewed by the recipient. If that isn't the case here, then poor old PCWizKid is officially minted.
Wowzas, 1200 and 1500 Watts... That's a crapload of power - I'd like someone to send me a vid or pic of the computer they have this baby connected too - it must be sweetness.
This is an overkill even for the components he mentioned in the beginning. Two physical processors, 3 of the latest graphicscards etc, THAT could give a reason to buy this PSU
That program he's using to show the fan speeds and all is called "Everest". You can get it free on the web, just google it. I am *AMAZED* at all it tells me about my computer! :O
He uses the most interesting things from the web. I wish he would tell us more about the programs he uses. I found 4 new programs so far from his videos, that I didn't even know existed! :D

PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT THE COOL PROGRAMS YOU USE, WIZKID! :D
that is one hell of a box. my power supply fans no longer spin so i stripped all the dead weight of my machine + power supply and just turned the AC on. dust and condensation-sation-sation-sation are my enemies as oppose to overheating
I saw the review of a 1600W power supply in computertv channel. You have to call your electric company to install a special wall outlet to be able to use it.
It depends on the hardware you're using, and not really the motherboard, 'cause it should sound rather funny with a "64bit motherboard". For example, if you have about 6gb ram, a 64bit CPU and a decent GPU, the 64bit version of that OS you're about to use, will take advantage of all that.
AMD athon 64 AM2+ 3000+ something like that is my processor (cpu) so it should be a 64bit? cuz when i installed my windows XP with 6 gb ram (2 slots taken 2gig each last 2 taken 2gb (1gb each) and it said i was using 3.25GB but it said that when i had 4gb cuz 3gb is max for xp srry for typing too much i checked my system it said its a 32bit instead of 4gig should be 2gb instead of 6gb it should be 3gb straight but i got 3.25gb
The limit for XP or any 32-bit os is 3.5 gb including video card RAM. Some computers will say you have 4gb but they will only use 3.5. Your computer is probably using 512mb from your video card and 3.25gb from your RAM
It means the amount of RAM that your 32-bit OS will recognize is limited. 32-bit OS only recognizes 3.5gb of combined memory between your video card and your RAM. So your computer may display 4gb of RAM in the system properties menu but it will only utilize 3.5gb minus the amount of memory in your video cards
@eduardxwx, good catch, this case doesnt have the holes at the bottom, but most of the new cases today do, so it would be installed the way I showed in the video.
The fans on power supplies are designed to keep the power supplies cool. I believe that they also help in removing some hot air from the case, but that is not their real job.
which software are you using for checking the PSU FAN SPEED. DO REPLY PLZ
