Sure man, I understand, not everybody can afford the expensive hardware. At least you guys hooked up a beast of an X-Fire setup to put some load on the unit. :) The big primary capacitor is pretty much a standard feature in all APFC units (some use two or more due to physical dimension constraints)....

Shane, why did you prefer a mildly overclocked system? What happens you max out the GPU's and the CPU on air? Why not use a quad-core CPU for your tests?

One thing I'd like to point out is the use of Sanyo WG electrolytic instead of OSCON or conductive polymer caps as is vogue in video cards. Perhaps not a good cost cutting measure for the long term. I've seen old skool 9200's fail when recapped with the normally reliable Panasonic FM. I'm not saying...

Hi guys,

Maybe I missed it, but did you guys compare overclocking potential of the 8800GT vs HD3870?

Its always nice to see a good review. Would it be possible to get O-Scope readings at different points on the board and via the Molex?

Best wishes from OCForums!

Thanks for the info apostisis.

I understand that you have commitments to keep. Too bad the companies are being secretive (unnecessarily so IMO). The capacitor is an integral part of a PSU. If the caps are crap, the PSU ends up being crap.

Hi, This is my first post in here. :) I have a few questions and a request. Questions:- ------------ 1.Why did you pick an AMD system over a Prescott? I believe a fully overclocked Prescott would be a real power hog, thereby putting a lot of stress on the 12V line. 2.How did you measure the voltages...
