Nah. If you can't load balance with 50+ amps per rail available to you, you probably wouldn't be buying this type of equipment.

Just pointed out that he would have to balance if using it for benching. With a single rail no thinking required.


EDIT: Oh BTW, the EVGA SR-2 is a Antec Quattro just rebadged for EVGA.

Multi rails have certain advantages in certain situations. Single rail isn't the end all beat all. Everything has it's own niche.

The SR2 has two rheostats that I don't think the Quattro has, but I could be wrong.

Don't mind thinking if there's an advantage to the multi rail, and for the price you can't beat it, other than the fact that its fuckin ugly that is

So far, the Corsair is in the lead, and I am curious why.

Is it basically a function of price, or, do you believe (and/or) know that the Corsair gives cleaner power than the turbo cool does?

Or do you like it for the quiet fan?

Please elaborate on your vote - tks

I voted for it as it simply gets the job done with no problems ...... knock on wood

Although if I were to buy one today, I would go with the MaxRevo 1350


239 AR is a great price

It's the price for the quality you're getting. There are better PSU's but you'll pay more for 'em.
The Turbo Cool is a better PSU but twice the price.

That was the way I interpreted that as well Mr. Scott and was just coming on to validate that with the WD.

I hope to hear from Patch and Splave as well since I know both of them use or were looking for Corsairs
