Topic: Poll-style Quesition: Best modular PSU brand at ~1000w (Read 1445 times)
Thanks hunter. Corsair doesn't have long enough cables imho.
Mousepotato, I know. I said so in the original post, but didn't share the code.
I feel you get the code if you opt in, as a thank you. As a marketer, I don't like people that aren't on my list getting the benefits of those that opted in.

As an adjunct to this topic, TigerDirect has a sale on this 1000w PSU for $99 with coupon code MKR34846

The X3 is a superior unit compared to the X4, but both are overprice for 1kw units.
The X3 has a 70a 12v rail which equals 850w, the X4 has a 76a 12v rail which equal 912w.
So they're both slightly overrated with the X3 receiving better overall reviews.
I'm not a fan of Corsair.
I've had problems with their HX620 and HX1000, but the HX850 is supposed to be a good performer.
And at $149 AR is a pretty good buy considering what you get...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139011

Would you use the Ultra X3 1000w @ $179, or the Ultra X4 1050w @ $219, or the AzzA 1000w @ $95 (email discount)?
Both the AzzA and the X3 have two 6-pin PCIe power cables (cables) plus two 6/8 pin cables, while the X4 has six 6-pin cables and three 8-pin cables.
Should this be my only deciding factor? I have a low budget for the rig as a whole, so may not run 3 video cards. (and thus not need as many cables.)
Thanks for your time.
