Bjorn3D checked out the PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 510-SLI PSU
With the ever increasing power requirements of today's performance PC's, we need a power supply that will not falter while we are killing some enemy in a game, doing CAD work or just browsing the web. Over the years, the power requirements of the standard PC has climbed from a recommendation of 350 watts to 550 watts for today's high performance SLI gaming systems. Actually, NVIDIA shook up the gaming world when they said the GeForce 6800 Ultra would need at least 450 watt power supply at launch. Then we saw some journalist running the Ultra just fine with 350 watt power supplies, but then others having nothing but problems with even 500 watt power supplies. The problem is the power supply has to be able to supply more than just watts.
