Hi everyone,
I am considering upgrading my PSU's on my 2 Desktop PC's because I don't trust the current ones (Rosewill Capston 750w Gold, and Rosewill Capstone 550w Gold) with my PC's anymore. Reason being, when I use a graphics card on either computer, I sometimes get post errors, and the optical disc drive LED blinks endlessly as if it doesn't have enough power or short circuiting or something.
Now I am trying to decide between two very attractive offers: (1) Corsair HX1000i Platinum with single or multi-rail switching design, and 100% Japanese capacitors for long-term reliability and 7 year warranty, or (2) EVGA P2 1000w Platinum with 100% Japanese capacitors, ECO mode, and 10 year warranty.
In terms of power, both PSU's +12v is 83.3 amps, but the Corsair has 25 amps on both the +3.3v and +5v, but the EVGA has 20 amps on both +3.3v and +5v.
My question is: How many amps are needed on the +3.3v and +5v for a modern gaming rig, and is too many amps a bad thing?
