    Corsair Power Supply Configurator

    Hey guys, we got a power supply configurator up similiar to our memory configurator. If you just want to take a look and give us any feedback that would be appreciated. It does not do a specific wattage rating like some calculators. Tell us what you think.

    Re: Corsair Power Supply Configurator

    It would be nice if you could put a "No Graphics Card / Integrated Graphics" option in.
    But then your smallest PSU is like 450W so it probably doesn't make sense.

    Nice to see a PSU calculator that doesn't give bloated number like the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator (which eXtremely overestimate like the name implies)
    It seems quite accurate as a Pentium D (+extreme OC) + 7900GT system + 10 HDDs drains about 470W (from socket) on startup (measured) which is comfortably handled by a HX450W as recommended.

    Workstation 1: Intel C2Q Q9550 @ 3.6Ghz / 4GB DDR2-800 / HD4870 512MB / Antec P180
    Workstation 2: Intel Xeon X3350 @ 3.2Ghz / 4GB DDR2-800 / HD4770 512MB / Shuttle SP35P2
    HTPC: AMD Athlon X4 620 @ 2.6Ghz / 4GB DDR2-1000
    Mobile Workstation: Intel C2D T8300 @ 2.4Ghz / 3GB DDR2-667 / DELL Inspiron 1525 / 6+6+9 Cell Battery

    Display (Monitor): DELL Ultrasharp 2709W + DELL Ultrasharp 2001FP
    Display (Projector): Epson TW-3500 1080p
    Speakers: Creative Megaworks THX550 5.1
    Headphones: Etymotic hf2 / Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro

    Storage: 13.9TB Across 14 HDDs + 3TB RAID5 @ 3Ware 9500S-8
    Consoles: PS3 Slim 120GB / Xbox 360 Arcade 20GB / PS2

    Re: Corsair Power Supply Configurator

    minor bug?
    enter 6 hard disks. it recommends the HX520w (the only modular one of three) - which apparently only has 4 sata power connectors.

    if I have spare corsair modular sata power leads from another PSU - could I plug these into the molex sockets instead?
