Once the heavyweight PC Power & Cooling (http://www.pcpowercooling.com/) Turbo-Cool 1KW was pulled out of its packaging, we were expecting good things from it and it did not disappoint. This power supply proved to be extremely solid and accurate in terms of the voltage it delivered across its various rails. It's a big and heavy unit, but it delivers excellently.
In terms of power use, like the Turbo-Cool 510 Express/SLI (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1816) before it, the PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW takes a bit more for itself than most of the PSUs we've tested, especially when not under load. In light of its Active-PFC and excellent voltage stability though, voltage regulating potentiometers for fine adjustments in overclocked settings, and twin 6-pin SLI power cables, that one small disparity is easily forgiven.
PC Power and Cooling offers a five year warranty on the Turbo-Cool 1KW. Considering that power supplies are the most common cause of computer failure (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1720), this indicates a comforting degree of confidence in the product by the manufacturer. With a retail price of $538CDN ($489 USD, £260 GBP) (http://www.dealtime.com/dt-app/SE/KW-PC%20Power%20and%20Cooling/FD-/linkin_id-2082121/NS-1/GS.html)for the 1000 Watt model, the PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW power supply is ideal for true hardcore enthusiasts and high-end SLI computer systems, or anyone investing seriously into an overclocking rig. You won't need a power supply like this for a small PC, but if you're running dual videocards and a pile of RAID'd hard drives with the latest CPU, this is as good as it gets!
What a beast of a power supply. :dizzy:
