Hey guys, greetings from Brazil.
I want to buy a 1000w+ PSU, and I want to know if this is a smart buy.
Electronics here in general are expensive, due to freight and customs duty. Things here are on average 100% pricer than over US. So don't be surprised with the following numbers lol.
There is this PSU in the title, and I think it doesn't sell in the USA, because I did not find any review in english. I know it sells in europe, because I found some videos on yt in russian (didn't understand a thing, obviously), and two reviews in spanish and italian (being latin origin languages, I can understand them).
The reviews says its good. It has 80plus gold and the efficiency was confirmed in the tests (and in the 80plus website). But I am concerned with the ripple (in the 12v rail). None of them says about it. The only source I have to jugde is this picture from the spanish review: http://www.islabit.com/wp-content/imagenes/raul/22-fa-atx/02-aerocool-strike-x-1100/28-aerocool-strike-x-1100.png
If you see, there is these peaks, is that normal? I am used to see PSU reviews in which they use load testers, and the ripple is a constant noise. Is the ripple an important parameter on overclock, or the VRM can get rid of it?
The other option I am considering it the ocz 1000w fatal1ty. I know it has low ripple (http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/OCZ/FTY1000W/8.html).
Here is the converted prices in the local market:
Aerocool Strike X: USD 265.00
OCZ FATAL1TY: USD 355.00
CoolerMaster ATX Silent Pro Gold 1200W: 405.00 USD (for comparison)
Corsair 1200W AX1200i: 638.00 USD (for comparison)
Thank you.
