SSR-1000TR has a 135mm FDB fan with a premium hybrid fan control. It runs in a fanless mode for loads up to 40% and is virtually silent for loads up to 50%! The fan has an industry-leading life expectancy of up to 50,000 hours at 40°C. Pros: Thought I'd write down what I've found so far, and ask for community help in looking for more options to keep an eye out for. e11: November 15th, added other Silverstone models, ASUS Loki line beginning to see releases at least in Sweden.

For more on this subject, see our A Basic Guide To Motherboard, Case, and Power Supply Form Factors feature. Nvidia recommends installing the cable to the GPU before installing it on the motherboard so you can be sure you get it fully seated. The RM1000x doesn’t offer ATX 3.0 compatibility and the side-mounted cable interface. But it is slightly affordable, which makes it an excellent value for money!NZXT is famous for its premium-built cases and gaming PC components. The NZXT C1000 Gold is one of their few power supplies. It has a robust build quality for steady and reliable power flow to your high-end components! CableMod has a good brief on best practice here, and they are developing both a 90 and 180 degree adapter. Note that this may not fit all card designs and as of writing this (December 16th update), they are currently developing a V2 that is expected to ship at the end of February. On December 18th, GamersNexus posted this video, and it looks like Lian Li is also developing a 90 degree adapter for 12VHPWR with a thermal pad and microcontroller that monitors temperature and can cut power if it detects that things are getting a little too toasty. Unfortunately, no further information regarding pricing nor release date available at this time. I am unaware of any other 90/180 degree adapters being developed from Nvidia or any third party manufacturers. In fact, it's going to be quite the job to stuff anything close to 1300W inside a Mini-ITX case. There's only one PCIe port on a Mini-ITX motherboard, and it's not like there's many headers for much else. That said, I'm sure someone will manage it: a truly overpowered PC, not much bigger than a loaf of bread.

But spray painting a PSU can pose performance and safety risks when poorly done. Yet, even if you do it right, you’ll void the warranty since you’ll need to take it apart. The whole process just sounds complex and risky! We waited years for a competitor to dethrone Corsair's AX1500i, and in the end it was another Corsair power supply to post higher overall performance. The Corsair AX1600i is the best PSU that money can buy today, period. It offers top performance in all areas and uses an innovative platform, which provides a glimpse at the future of power supply design.

MSRP: GOLD EFFICIENCY (noteworthy, per Cybenetics testing the 750/850/1000W models all tested Platinum efficiency) Its unique features include ROG heatsinks, a 120mm ARGB-illuminated fan with an axial-tech design, and dual ball bearings. They provide 0dB cooling for loads up to 40% and a longer lifespan for reliability. Pros: The use of a cutting-edge PFC circuit in combination with a fully digital platform seems to be the key for record-setting performance. Besides its super efficiency, the AX1600i also offers great load regulation, amazing transient response, a long hold-up time, and unparalleled ripple suppression. Moreover, the great benchmark results are accompanied by quiet operation, enabled by a relaxed fan profile and a high-quality FDB fan. Using the Corsair Link software, you're able to choose between three fan modes: performance, balanced, and quiet. A buddy wants to upgrade his PSU from an SF750 to a 1000w SFX/ SFX-L. The reason is he upgraded from a 3070 Ti to a 3090 Ti and wants peace of mind. I got some good advice in another post on whether he even needed to upgrade the PSU and ultimately my friend decided he wanted to upgrade it.
