Preview [Tagan Turbojet 1100w PSU] 56k warning

[size=+2]Tagan Turbojet 1100w PSU[/size]​

Again i got my hand on something special so thought of sharing with you guys. This time it was a 1100w PSU, or we can say 1.1Kw .
The first thing you will notice about this PSU is the packaging, which is simpley awesome. i am only going to preview this PSU as i don't have enough hardware to load this PSU . It will take at least one dual core and 8 series card to load this PSU . anyways here are some photographs

Packaging

The Stuff

Connecters

Fan

it is having two fan front and back. even after running it for 1 hour on 3d marks 05 i couldn't get the back fan running .... both fan are having different fin design. front fan is having more fins than the rear fan ...

The ground connecter

I tried loading the power supply but with the configuration i got there was no drop in voltage ... lol

Verdict
we can't load this PSU enuf without a load tester and they cost a lot .... anways i am trying get a load tester ..... if i will be able to get it i will post the review again.... anyways in my opinion this PSU is ready for anything u throw at it so, let me get a quad core and 8800GTX sli then i will test this again ..... lol

^^ i just saw a review in which it delivered 886w ...... i have also seen some bad stuff about the review u are talking about funky ...... just google it and u will see ..... anyways i am just putting my point here no offense to anyone ....

 

[Shripad]

Yeah total 886 watts. And 768 odd on the 12v lines. Anyway, the galaxy 1000 passed same load tests and delivered 1000watts and it costs same, hardly $10 difference if any. And those design flaws cannot be denied. Enermax has two complete separate circuits. Initial reviews received good remarks regarding this PSU back in may-june. but once people saw the inside they came to know its flaws.

Hardware secrets have a detailed review, including all individual parts. I will try to search link.

 

[samrulez]

nice review!

But you should have tagged "1Mbit warning instead of 56kbps warning! :rofl:

just kiddin...but...did you buy that PSU??

 

[Rahul]

^^ nope i didn't buy the PSU ..... thinking about u

Tagan TurboJet TG1100-U95 1,100 W Power Supply | Hardware Secrets

But what is really bad about this unit is the design Topower chose to use on its secondary. As you can see, this power supply has only one +12 V filtering stage. So the output of all +12 V rectifiers are connected together and then filtered by only two coils (one big and another small) and three electrolytic capacitors. As we mentioned exhaustively in previous articles, the coils and capacitors are the main components that limit the maximum power the power supply can deliver, as the rectifiers are usually very overspec’ed. And based on the size of the coils and electrolytic capacitors found here we can say for sure that this power supply simply cannot deliver the 960 W labeled by Tagan for its +12 V combined power. This power could only be achieved if this power supply used two independent +12 V filtering sections.

We don’t have a load tester, but our friends at Planet3Dnow.de have one (a Chroma 8000). They tested this Tagan power supply at 25º C and it burned when they tried to pass over 768 W on the +12 V lines. Their conclusion was that this power supply has something wrong with the +12 V outputs, and the explanation is right above. Just for the record, they tested Galaxy 1000 W from Enermax on the same review and it could deliver up to 1,050 W at 50º C, which is really impressive.

I think tagan has hyped the rating of the PSU over rated......

Hi good for the wattage.But isnt 20A on 12V line a bit low for the 8800XX series?I was using a 14A PSU but had to change it to a 22A+ one and so took in a 33A one fom enermax.

 

[Crazy_Eddy]

^ Actually those are quad-12V rails , i.e. the PSU offers 20A of current each on four 12V rails.
