I wonder anybody here has any experience with Enermax Galaxy DXX EGX1000EWL 1000W?

If so, have you experienced any problems? Any comments?

way over priced and not worth it..


I suggest PC power and cooling.. by far the best Powersupplys ever made!

Well its like 180 cheaper than PC P&C. Enermax is a good brand.

My personall opinion is that he doesnt even need 1k watts and the 620W Corsair would be badass for him, Extreme overclocking has raved about it a whil now.

Also think johnnyguru likes it.

You get what you pay for... dollar per watt etc..

I'd rather pay dollars per lbs :p

You said the enermax is over priced, its not, thats a fair price. PC P&C is overpriced cuz they know they're the ****, but they can get away with it because of their units.

the PSU is the Heart of the PC.. I'd rather have a good reliable one that won't go bad and take everything else with it.

PC P&C offers 5 year replacement warranty and their PSU's are badass.

Agreed, but I cant see how enermax is overpriced if its almsot 200 bucks cheaper.

its over priced for what its worth...which is nothing to me compared to PC power and cooling psu's :thumb:

So then what brands do you consider reliable?

[Rivas]

I didnt say Enermax is overpriced.

But in case the PSU goes bad after 3 years, yes it's definately overpriced.

My point is, you get what you are paying for.

[Sava700]

I'll only buy one brand now and its the only one i've been talking about

[Shagster]

They are both great power supplies. Think of it like this...

PPC = Bentley
Enermax = Mercedes

Enermax is good

I recently got the Galaxy DXX for my primary system, doing my big Conroe upgrade.

We evaluated the Galaxy DXX here and found it to be a great PSU - http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTMyMCwsLGhlbnRodXNpYXN0

I would definitely recommend it

[A_old]

You guys are silly..most of the brands are made by 3-4 manufacturers and rebadged anyway (PC&C makes their own, I'm sure). The enermax is fine. If you have money to piss away, buy the PC&C, but don't listen to people who tell you it's the only way to go or your system will turn into a a ****ing black hole and suck in your office. It won't. Just don't buy a POS (the Enermax isn't), and you'll be fine. Examples of POS: PowMax, Deer, etc.

[Brent]

BTW, I am using my Enermax Galaxy DXX with an E6600 at 3.2 GHz, 2x 8800 GTX in SLI driving a 30" LCD and 1x 8800 GTS driving 2 LCD's, 2x Raptors in RAID 0 and 2x 250 GB HDD's in RAID 0, just fine.

I wonder how loud the PC power and cooling 1KW psu. I read somewhere that it makes loud noise.

Does this unit have two separate transformers inside ?

Read the specs they are posted here.

Side note, it's long PSU, I dont think you can fit it in mid size case, you cant even fit it in TT Kandalf Super Tower case without modification.

well I guess my first question is what are you going to power?

[YARDofSTUF]

So have you started smoking crack or are you just an elitist now?

[YARDofSTUF]

Ya knowing what the PSU has to run will help a lot.

Actually looks like PC P&C isnt doing so well with the competition, heh.

Enermax is a great power supply. I also like Antec..I've mostly used those over the years, problem free. My latest favorite brand is Seasonic....for my home rigs it's probably my new standard.

[satyre]

This is for a new system. I want to run two Geforce 8800GTX for four 21" LCDs. I have been waiting for a card with GDDR4 memory but I can't wait anymore.

The case I am going to use is Z-MACHINE GT1000, a new one from http://www.zalmanusa.com

[YARDofSTUF]

800+ watts should be enough. Depends on how many drives and junk you have, but if your going for the 1k units then I think I'd pick the Silverstone Olympia 1k.

[KINGoFOOLS]

I ran a 500W enermax, I liked it and had no problems...

your LCD's don't have no pull on your Power supply.. you need to be looking at a big APC unit instead...

199$ 750Continues watts 825peak! Its designed for Dual 8800GTX's and below!

Toughpower 750? Heard good stuff on those.

[A_old]

I run a 850w TT -- overkill for my system
