16 1000-1250 watt power supplies tested

If you are going to run three or even four graphics cards then you will have to invest into a power supply of 1000 watts or more. Hardware.info tested 16 models between 1000 and 1250 watts.

With hardware getting more and more efficient and the reduced popularity of 3 and 4-way SLI/ Crossfire it seemed like power supply of more than 1000 watt were going to be redundant. Recently however the demand for these kind of power supplies has sky rocketed again and this is not just due to the few spoiled gamers with new 4K displays and the necessary multi GPU rigs to run at that resolution. The main reason is the ever increasing mining hype. Especially in America and Scandinavia customers are lining up to buy high end video cards and power supplies for this purpose, at least if we are to believe the manufacturers. This review comes at the perfect time then, perhaps the timing is even a little too good, several manufacturers told us they couldn't be part of this test simply because all their 1000+ watt power supplies are sold out all over the world. Luckily most of the major brands still managed to send us a sample and we managed to test 16 different models.

Nanoxia Releases Deep Silence 3 Mid-Tower

One of Nanoxia’s raisons d’être is for the ultra-silent cases, even if fans are involved. Part of the complexity of silent designs with fans is managing the air intakes and vents as this is where the noise will come from. The latest in Nanoxia’s quest for silence is the Deep Silence 3, a steel mid-tower sized chassis to fit ATX, mATX and mini-ITX sized systems. Compared to the previous Deep Silence models, this number three is aimed at the more budget and size conscious users.

Nanoxia is keen to promote its use of decoupled mounting of the hard disks and power supply along with anti-vibration feet and a dense foam padding designed to absorb vibrations. This foam is used primarily in the front of the case behind the vanity panel, at the top with the fan mounting holes and inside the case panels. The case can support eight storage drives (five 3.5”/2.5”, three dedicated 2.5”) and graphics cards up to 345 mm. By removing the hard drive cage, this length extends up to 430mm.

Transcend SSD340 (256GB) Review

A couple of months ago we reviewed JMicron's JMF667H reference design SSDs, which did relatively well in our tests especially when taking JMicron's older SSD controllers into account. As always, reference designs are only meant for evaluation and do not make their way into retail, so today we are taking a look at Transcend's SSD340. Let's find out how the SSD340 compare with other SSDs, and if it can offer a value proposition that will entice buyers.
