I bought this PSU after my two Silverstone 1000W PSUs died(which, seriously, were the worst psu's I've ever owned). I want to say that was about 4 years ago.
This past weekend I noticed that the voltages on my 950TX are really starting to go.
Here we see a test with my old i7 970 beasting out at 4.4GHz:
12v rail has a minimum of 12.04v
5v rail has a minimum of 4.97v
3.3 rail has a minimum of 3.26v
All well within tolerances.
Now, here is a shot of my 990x beasting out at 4.6GHz:
12v rail drooping down to 11.877v
5v rail drooping down to 4.872v
3.3v rail drooping down to 3.040v
Ouch.
While the 12v and 5v rails are not out of spec yet, my 3.3v rail is already out of spec at 3.040v.
On that note, does anyone know of a good 1000W PSU that fits within: 5.9" x 5.51" x 3.34" ? Preferably modular? I've got a Seasonic X1250W but it's just too damn big.
Edit: Dug up my invoice and learned that it's only 4 years old (purchased 11/4/2010) and realized i misread my own voltage shot and it's already out of spec. I've opened a ticket with corsair since this thing has a 5 year warranty. I wonder if they have any replacements, or what they'll give me as a replacement.
