Thank you for the read. Did you know that the power feeding this PSU can instead be fed into 3 normal sized machines? The power of choice is yours to make, but electricity will not be infinite.

Now THAT is a detailed review!

Teapo capacitors are a hit and miss. I'd say if your running it 24/7 as a coin mining machine with high load it would not last 10 years. For normal use with a few hours gaming per day it might be ok, but 10 years is a long shot for even the best capacitors not to have some degradation.

Can we have some reviews of really high quality 300-600W PSUs? You know the ones that 90% of us here would actually use/need.

Did you know that anyone who cares about this PSU, isnt going to be thinking about the 3 400w HTPCs that it could run. Keep your politics out of a PSU review lol.

I will review mid-level and mainstream PSUs as well, no worries about this.

rolli59 · Mar 31, 2015

Always nice to see reviews of the high end stuff but really the 300-850watt range will cover the needs of 99% of readers of the side.
Now lets see if Andyson can follow up and start putting out decent lower power units.

Andyson, the notorious RAIDMAX OEM. Not sure any sane person would pick you for a high end PSU, but thanks for trying.

i disagree, can we get a roundup of complete rubbish generic psu's like low end radimax and the like and watch them burn! i think it needs to be done to show people what not to buy.

dirtyferret :

Yes, absolutely. Same with other OEMs like Channel Well that know how to make good PSUs but instead churn out cost-cutting junk because that's the best contracts that they can win. I am not forgiving when it comes to PSUs.

Nuwan Fernando · Mar 31, 2015

In the power specification section it says 200 Amps on 12V line and mention as 1200W. And also in the passage it says it can deliver 100 Amps on 12V line. So I guess it should be 100 Amps on the specification also.

Aris_Mp · Apr 1, 2015

Yeap this is a typo. It is 100 A max at +12V.

jonas93 · Apr 1, 2015

Wow 100 amps on 12v you can even build a small homemade welder.

Iain Sheldon · Apr 1, 2015

i need this i have a heavily pumped fx 6350 and even a 850 watt dips heavily on twelve volts

is it andyson's fault that raidmax wants them to supply cheap PSU?

Yes, absolutely. Same with other OEMs like Channel Well that know how to make good PSUs but instead churn out cost-cutting junk because that's the best contracts that they can win. I am not forgiving when it comes to PSUs.

you are allowed your opinion but frankly the OEM means little to me compared to actual build quality, independent performance review, and the brands CS on the warranty. If CWT makes cheap PSU because the brand gives them a low price point, I could care less. If there is a very good PSU at a great price with a solid brand CS behind it that happens to be made by CWT, I could care less and I'll get it if I need a new PSU.

^^ ...and this is why JP needs to make the PSU expert badges very hard to get. I'm tired of seeing num-nums with red badges especially. PSU master currently only requires 50 points, yet frivilous badges like gaming master take like 150 points...

Seriously would you buy this RAIDMAX to power 1200W of components? Might as well put some potatos in series.

......or lemons!

turkey3_scratch · Apr 1, 2015

I am by all means no power supply expert (probably not even a novice though my badge says otherwise lol) but the people on Toms do tend to be very stubborn and closed-minded when it comes to accepting or considering anything other than Seasonic or Superflower. I feel like dirtyferret has a solid point. I bet if Seasonic had designed this exact same PSU people would be like "Oh my gosh this a great power supply".

1 attaboy does not make up for 9999999999999999 OH $%&*'s.
