What "kit" did you use for 5.25" -> 3.5" under your optical drive? I'd like to add a card reader to my 600T, but don't have any external 3.5" slots. |

I believe the Thor V2 has an external 2.5 or 3.5 in the bottom 5.25 slot. Have not had the need to use it yet, however.

Ordered today, but shipping from CA, so probably in about 5 days. I'm pretty excited, and I am going to tune this rig to come close to maxing out my PSU.
My max draw with a single card is 520w at the wall (CPU@4.6 GHz, GPU @ 1220 Mhz), which is about ~470w internally. A second GPU will add 250-300w max, so I'll tune both GPUs with a mild OC to peg the PSU at 750w.
Since it is a Corsair AX series, I don't have an issue with letting it max out under full load (OCCT PSU test running LINPACK and FURMARK simultaneously)--everyday usage will be much less.
If I was buying a new PSU, I'd probably have gone with an 850w, but I see no issue with running the AX750 since I already own it.

Just to let you know, I ordered my components today. Comparing my list to yours, same CPU, smaller CPU cooler, same MB, same memory and amount, smaller HDD, smaller SSD, smaller video card, same case, smaller PSU, same optical drive, same OS, new logitech mouse and keyboard, and no extra case fans. Total after all discounts, $1546.02. I'm happy with that for such a powerful system. I ordered everything from Amazon and Newegg. All components should arrive in the next 2-4 days.
Thanks for all of your help.

It's actually an H100 I pulled from the old rig. The PWM on the pump doesn't work so I just hook everything up to the PSU and run it at full speed.

| This PSU isn't designed to hold a sustained full load, at least not for long. Recommend you return it and get something with more head room. Would be fine if you are running 2 GTX 680s which I have done on this PSU but 2 7970 is a bit too much... |

I'm very interested to know why you're stating this, as well. |

There is none. I am basing this on what I see on a day to day bases. If these PSUs are that capable then we would have people running these on servers but I haven't seen them in barebones as of yet. Keep in mind that servers are generally ran in controlled environments and I have not see PSUs not able to run sustained capacity. And by "long" I mean running these at sustained load for 24/7.
I know for a fact that I have no problems running 2 680s on this PSU with CPU OC but I just don't know about the GE 7970. The stock 7970 is rated for 250w so the GE version can't be 250. In an ideal, closed and isolated environment I would say yes, you can run whatever that will draw the rated capacity for as long as you want but sadly we don't and in this case, having a bit of head room is better than none at all. 850w would be ideal IMO. |

1. This is not going to be running a 24x7 sustained load.
2. Let's not discuss what someone believes "ought" to believe based on the lack of evidence--I don't care about what servers use, because, as I've said before, I am not going to be using this as a folding machine or doing anything specific for 24x7.
• Like other brands' "Continuous" rated, I have always considered the high-end units, such as the AX series, and perhaps even the HX series, capable of supplying continuous power at the rated spec.
• That said, my build will do nothing of the sort, it idles at 122w with one GPU, maxes in game below 350w, and can only be artificially pegged at 520w in a LINPACK+FURMARK burn test. That's with the brink OCs (CPU @ 4.6 GHz, GPU @ 1220mhz).
• That 520w max was inflated by 100w by the OCs, so I can probably keep things under 750w max without aggressive overclocks.
Keep in mind these are the power draws at the wall, so knock off 10% for delivered power (using the 90% efficiency rating).
I agree that 850w was ideal, but I didn't feel like buying a new PSU on top of everything else right now. I'll probably get one in a couple months, or if the need to bring back the OCs takes over, but I've had the AX750 for a couple years and it has served me well, so I decided to stick with that for now.

LOTS of flaws in this argument.
1. You're right. These aren't server grade. Neither are any other consumer level power supply, but the Corsair AX series as well as other's top of the line PSUs such as Rosewill Capstone, Seasonic X series, and the like are as close as you can get. To use this as an argument is like stating that you only would buy a $500 drill even though the $100 one from Home Depot will last you the same number of years for your uses.
2. This will not be sustained load. This is balls-to-the-wall maximum stress that wouldn't ever happen under normal usage. GPUs and CPUs clock down and throttle power nowadays. It doesnt run 100% all the time.
3. Even with VERY AGGRESSIVE overlocks is he getting even remotely close (within 15%) of the maximum (which I think is actually higher because it's rated for CONTINUOUS 750w load, if it happens to peak, I would think a well made PSU can handle it). I think it would be safe to assume he won't be running his cards at maximum overclocks for day to day use. That's just playing with instability and that isn't a function of the PSU.
No point in spending more than you have to just "for some headroom". These things are rated to be near or fully loaded. That is where their most efficient workloads come in. |
