PCPnC 850W SSI - First Impressions - 56K Beware

[eclypse]

Can anyone get the 4 VDIMM jumpper to work with this P/S and a DFI NF4 MB?

I tried it yesterday and it will not power up with the 4 vdimm jumpper enabled Man i thought this prob was only with my zippy.

EMC2,

Sorry if I missed it somewhere (I read through and couldnt see it) but does this PSU have the "split" design on the 24pin connector? Ie: does it detach into a 20pin and a 4pin if needed, or is it one solid block?

Thanks.

[eclypse]

one solid block..

I'm about 90% sure i'm returning mine this tuesday.. Already put in for an RMA.

Seems to not beable to handle the load of the system and the 4 or 3 water pumps.

It will just shut off all the time.

So i've had to run 2 power supplies just to keep this thing runing.

I doubt this thing has 2 12v rails on the 8 pin connector since it is very unstable with 3 or even 2 pumps on that addaptor that PCPC made for me so i could hook the pumps up to a few extra molex connectors..

So.. I'd rather run 2 power supplies just to run the cooling then to pay $500+ for a supposivly 850-950WATT max P/S w/ another P/S.

I was thinking that this thing would solve my power issues but since its like 4 small 200 watt p/s's built together its not gona work.

Kinda dumb to have 1 12v rail @ 17 Amps power all the molex connectors and the motherboard..

I'm stickin to the 700 watt zippy..

Do you have a pic of the adapter they made? Or, can you describe the wiring of it? (the 8-pin has 4 black wires and 4 white wires)

[eclypse]

Yup and it comes with a 4 pin addaptor to down convert it from the 8 pin.

The one the guy made me goes from the 8 pin to the 4 pin as well as use those extra unused 2 12v and 2 ground wires for the extra 4 molex lines. 2 connectors for each 12v line.. They dont share with the wires for the 4 pin connector.

I could take a pic of it soon enough since i'll be taking it out tomorrow sometime.

Thanks eclypse

Anyone tried this one in a Lian-LI 65??

[EMC2]

You really need ~12" of clearance (length) for the PS... it's 9.5" long and that would leave a 2.5" area for air flow into the grill and for the cables to turn downward that come out of the back. (don't remember how much room is in a 65... fits in my 70 tho, no problem).

[sauria]

Yeah... And huge too, you need at least a LL PC75 / CM Stacker or any other roomy full tower to fir this beast into your case.

I guess it would fit in a Lian Li PC-76?

I guess it would fit in a Lian Li PC-76?

Don't guess, ask.

[sauria]

Well, Daytona Dave. Does it fit? Tha case is larger than a PC-75.

[Dave in Daytona]

Well, Daytona Dave. Does it fit? Tha case is larger than a PC-75.

Not me! Ask PC P&C and Lian Li, they will know.

[LarsK]

Not me! Ask PC P&C and Lian Li, they will know.

Well, it fits just fine in my PC75B case. If that's any help....

[sauria]

Thanks LarsK. I wrote the company and they said that it will work in my PC-76.
"As long as the case is 20" or
more in depth (the PC-76 is 22") then it will fit."

Any pics of it installed in your case? I wonder how far back it sticks. Do you have a top blowhole?

Now we know young Dave

[SlicerSV]

what about a ufo? would this bad-boy fit in a ufo from mountainmods?

[ZX7891]

As long as the case is 20" or
more in depth then it will fit."

Go look at the specs slicer

[SlicerSV]

yeah, the ufo is only 18". it is an 18" cube.

[SlicerSV]

krille and i over in the Liquid Cooling section were both thinking the same thing (will PCP&C 850SSI fit in a mountainmods case) So we both emailed them (as in mountainmods). The answer was that the PCP&C 850SSI will fit without any modifications in ALL mountainmods cases, the Twice7, U2UFO, AND U2UFO Optimax. For extreme watercooling applications they would recommend sticking the PCP&C 850SSI and the watercooling eqp in a U2UFO, NOT Optimax, Optimax is more designed for extreme aircooling. A tight fitting watercooling setup can fit in a Twice7 with the 850SSI.

good news for people who like cubes!

EDIT: not only that, but mountainmods got back to us within an hour of emailing them, now ain't that awesome? DOUBLE

EDIT: I just realized i didn't mention that you DO have to remove an HDD tray if you are going to use the 850SSI in a Twice7. The case is designed for those to be removable, and i'm sure we creative peoples here on XS can find a new place to squeeze it in
