What PSU would you suggest for all this Hardware

[Toolius]

ok guys taken your advice on the power and cooling 1 Kw too... ordered that too.. will keep this enermax galaxy in backup or for another machine for the studio. I know this is over over kill.. but guys.. im in india.. these cances dont come up every day for me like they do for all you guys. i do agree that the corsair has more than enough power.. but its just that i need something that is totally stable.. no blow ups or anything and also not to mention that this machine will also be nerve central for my Nuendo setup. Will have loads of devices sucking on power too. also the indian monsoon aint that good to psu's so i thought get the best and keep the second best for backup or aqnother machhine. And yes.. India's economy is booming too .. heheh the stock market has been kind to me.. what can i say .. not to mention that the studio is going great. just got a brand new Genelec 5.1 DSp monitoring system. and prisim ada-8 sound card.i need the reliability. and i wont get a chance to get a another psu like this.. too big for shippig.. this time i can have it brought down.. so if you guys were in my position.. what would you be doing?
ps.. sorrry for all that ....
big big boom shiva from bombay.

Sounds like what you need is a big UPS not a big PSU (confusing, ain't it?)... Hope you didn't make a big mistake.

.bh.

I would have bought a 620W Corsair AND an APC UPS or two.

[Toolius]

already got a 3 Kw APC ups running and installed for all my gear..cant afford to loose a 10 k $ set of Genelec monitors. .. i know the difference guys.. cmon...

If you wanted the best stability with the longest service life you would not have asked...
You would have just bought a 700~850W Zippy/Emacs.

hey Rommel.. heheh well its my bread earner bro.. and well Bolllywood hehehe.. we do complete audio solutins for movies and ad's and stuff.. got tons of gear.. the 3Kw is just for the console.. everything else is on 2x 8Kw Apc power inverters too.. but yeah .. it is nice to get new gear.. but it all does pay for itself .. so its cool i guss... and also i do need to keep pace with international standards too..i mean we do a fair amout of international jobs too..so its gotta be all tight and ******.. quality control.. well ii guess im babaling on.. but yeah.. it is good to have a budget.. but we need it tooo

I didn't know power errors could damage monitors through the amps. :Q

You made a wise decision young Jedi.....

why thank you master Yoda heheh

 

[acegazda]

yeah you spent ANOTHER $500! Yeah!Wooh! Dude, next time, try listening to suggestions. Half the people that recommended pcp&c did it b/c they saw other people recommend it on other threads or b/c it is the most expensive, thus it must be the best right? Hehe, yeah if Donald trump wipes your a$$... the other half off the people who recommended pcp&c actually bakced it up. I salute you. The only reason I'm mad is b/c you totally disregarded my suggestion. Seriously, why would you want to pay more than you have to? Put it towards a beach house.

EDIT: Never heard of genelec monitors...

 

[dBTelos]

What are the chances, the person that recommends the stupidest thing, gets obeyed. I don't know why you would consider Corsair something that doesn't deliver stable power and will blow up your PC. But, its your money, waste it as you choose.

Actually what I find interesting is you do nopt know me nor do you know that when I bought my first PSU I did more than my fair share of homework. Your assumption and I quote-- Half the people that recommended pcp&c did it b/c they saw other people recommend it on other threads or b/c it is the most expensive, thus it must be the best are not true and have no basis for fact!! As far as the quality of PC Power & Cooling PSU they stand alone on there own merits there track record is well documented as well as there customer service!!. Ask those of us actually own 1 or more....

What I sense in you is a possible complex becuase there are those of us who can afford to but whats some would consider to be one of the best PSU`s ever made. I myself I will put Zippy and Enhance in that catagorie also!!!

 

[acegazda]

I did not specify who was in that group, nor did I directly say anything about you. In fact your recommendation is valid. I don't care if I don't know you, that is irrelevant, but tell me, the corsiar uses nippon chemicon caps, who else uses them? Zippy. Can we not agree that this PSU is of top quality? If I'm not mistaken, PCP&C uses teapo caps. Let's talk price. The corsiar is $190 while the galaxy is $350 and the turbocool is $500. If we can infer that all psus are more than sufficiant, why would you spend almost 3 times the $$$ on a psu when it could be better used elsewhere? Please point out to me where spending the xtra $320 is worth it. I'm not insulting you I just don't get it.

EDIT: Are you refering to my recommendation of the Corsiar b/c it certainly wasn't obeyed. Go to extreme.outervision.com and you'll find that his rig will use 560w of power, and 42 amps on the 12v rails (approx.) How is that not enough when the corsiar has 620w and peak 50amps on the 12v rails?

Don't bother proving him wrong, you might as well be talking to a brick wall.

 

[acegazda]

Alright, I've said my bit.

 

[Howard]

Teapos in PSUs aren't that bad, and there's more to a quality PSU than capacitor lifetime.

 

[Praxis1452]

he bought the pcp&c... ugh! the 1kw at that. And yea Teapo's are perfectly find for psu's.

btw isn't the enermax galaxy better than the pcp&c 1kw? I'm pretty sure they had better caps in there. Either one will pretty much power anything and with the modular cables the Galaxy>pcp&c.

I'd not spend that much and get my money back. Zippy/Emacs>PCP&C anyway....

actually you can infer whatever you want. Your dwelling on what caps a certain brand us yet i do not se the supposed use of TEAPO Caps to be an issue...
I can take you to badcaps.com where I posed several questions concerning PC Power & Cooling and the consensus as is the consesus on these forums are that PC Power & Cooling`s track record speaks for itself. The question I posed on Badcaps.com was if Teapo Caps are so bad then why does PC Power & Cooling whicu supposedly uses TEAPO Caps...note--I say supposedly because nobody in the last couple of years has taken one apart.....there has been a rumor even spouted at badcaps.com that PC Power & Cooling was getting away from using TEAPO Caps.
Also mote as was suggested on Bacaps.com TEAPo caps seems to have more of an issue with going bad on mobo`s than they do in PSU`s.

Ok...we can say that Corsair is on the right path...yet tell me this...
When was the quality of a PSU determined solely by the quality of Caps used?

Again I would put any of my PC Power & Cooling up against the Corsair brand now and in 5 years.....including my 1K PSU!!!

Also I have never ever heard it said that Corsair PSU`s stand on there track record....

But we both can agree that Corsair is taking the highroad and for all intent and purposes is doing things correct!!

Finally there are many good PSU`s on the market...be they Enermax or Seasonis or Zippy or Enhance or PC Power & Cooling...

What Zippy and Enhance and PC Power & Cooling have is a reputation that speaks for itself!!

Seasonic as well as Enermax are also almost right there reputation wise.

Whose next? Possibly Corsair only time will tell!!

As I stated lets wait 5 years down the line and see whos still around....

 

[acegazda]

Alright, everything you said is good. Like howard said a few posts above you, the caps aren't the only thing, thanks. We're in agreement. Cool?

 

[skinnyj]

so.... is this corsair good stuff? seems to be resanably priced and 3 12v rails are better than 2? just looking for thoughts

 

[Toolius]

Simply Brilliantly Said Marster Yoda hehe acegazda bro.. like u said it .. my system will be sucking about 560 Watts of power.. of a 620 watt supply.. considering the loads of the next gen video cards.. and also the next gen of Motu or RME soundcards. they suck on power too.. so i just dont think that i will have enough headroom..agreed that the caps are of very high quality.. but in my opinion its not enough.. not for this machine atleast.. anyother gamming rig.. yes i agree 620 is enough.. but when u have 4 sats drives.. 2 IDE 10 K rpm drives and 2 Dl writers.. with 2 500 Gb Externals and a whole bunch of pen drives and other sound stuff being constantly plugged in... the corsair would have to run at almost peak all the time.. so i chose the 1 Kw.. this way .. no worries for a long time..

Boom Shiva

 

[opmike]

Hey, I don't see what the big deal is. If I was working with such a large budget, I certainly would be going for something more than what I "need." Better to have it, and not need it than to need it and not have it. Hell, everyone here has gone "overkill" on something they have bought.

 

[acegazda]

People do that when they are uninformed, if you were presented with an equally excellent more cost effective solution, what would you choose?

Unfortunately most newbies on this forum will accept the reply of the first poster, or whatever makes them feel more safe.
