Default Re: Corsair PSU Query!!

Dood, I know and I have it 'cause I don't intend to use this config for more than 6 months so have taken a big headroom in the power department as my next rig would be Crossfire or Sli machine or maybe even a Quad so will retain the PSU for that and moreover, the Corsair advertises that under idle conditions PSU power usage is 130W, 325W under typical load and 650-750W under full load so I dont' think that with my current config, load would even exceed 450W. I just need a Pure Sine wave UPS for this PSU as my current one just dies as soon as the power goes off. AFA electricity bill is concerned, all I can say is that we've got "JUGAAD" at both our and Electricity Dept. end I'm just biding my time till I get my laptop in a month or two and then it would be my download rig as I also acknowledge the fact that machine of such heavy proportions is not suitable to be used as a download rig, its an insult to the rig itself
