    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.

    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?

    Corsair Power Supply Configurator

    Only reason why I jumped on this, single rail 950 watt corsair power supply for 91? Hell yes, if it was a multi rail psu like the hx I would have been a bit less hesitant on picking it up.
