BFG Tech has done it again. Not only BFG is one of the top NVIDIA based graphics card manufacturers but its ES series power supplies are just simply outstanding! In the matter of fact, this unit is currently powers one of our gaming PCs ;)

I dealt with FSP's power supplies many times in the past. Either it was an OEM unit that came with off-the-shelf PC or replacement for one of the failed PSUs at work, I never had a single issue with FSP units. FSP Group Everest 1010W is no different from its predecessors from the quality stand point as it has an excellent build quality.

Honestly, Corsair has surprised me with this unit. After examination of its simple internal design and small heatsinks I was not sure if unit will be able to perform well. But TX650 has exceeded my expectations! During my testing, the Corsair TX650 650W power supply was very stable and did not have any failures or other performance issues. The voltage fluctuations were minimal and the voltages stayed well within ATX standards.

The Cooler Master surprised me with number of PCI-Express leads! There is a total of six 6-pin and three 8-pin connectors. Why so many you might ask? While Real Power Pro 1250W definitely has more PCI-Express connectors than you could possibly use, you should be prepared for 3-Way SLI or whatever is new NVIDIA or AMD currently cooking!

The CoolMax CUQ-1200B 1200W ATX/EPS 12V has both stability and silence, features Active PFC, >80% efficiency, support for 8-Pin PCI-Express as well as four +12V rails. So, back to my questions listed in the introduction section, yes, CoolMax is indeed one of the companies that greatly improved quality of their power supply units. And I want to tell you, that the CUQ-1200B 1200W ATX/EPS 12V power supply swill definitely satisfy the needs of demanding enthusiasts!

Added ATI Radeon HD 2900 Pro 512MB.

What if replacing your old power supply is not an option for you? But you surely want to use that new video card or perhaps even more. Well, there may be a few reasons for that. New powerful units cost quite a bit these days and you might not want to spend $300+ USD for such PSU, or new unit may not fit in your small enclosure due to its increased size, or maybe you just being lazy, hopefully this is not the case ;), and do not want to remove your current power supply especially after that nice job you did with cable management in your case. E-Power Technology came up with a solution: two 5.25" bay size power supply models, EP-350-CD UNI (350W) and EP-450-CD UNI (450W).

The Olympia OP1200 1200W power supply delivers solid voltages, with excellent regulation and above average efficiency. It comes with sleeved cables and lots of connectors, which include two 8-pin EPS12V, four 6-pin PCI-e and two 8-pin PCI-e connectors. The enclosure is longer (220mm) than a standard ATX unit so the OP1200 might not fit some of the small PC cases. The Olympia OP1200 was quiet during normal operation and under load.
