For a 1000W supply what is the max wattage you can run at full time?
1000watts plat would be at 100% if it reads 1086 watts at a k-watt meter
huh ? wtf?
simple 1000/.92 = 1086 watts
if it is an atx not a server I say do 80% rule so
1086 x .80 = 869 watts long term at a kwatt meter may be okay .
myself I never do that high
atx rating-----
1600 ---------- 1200 evga t2 p2 g2 100% success rate
1500 ----------- 1125 rosewill tokamak 100% success rate
1300 ------------ 975 evga g2 100% success rate
1200 ------------ 900 seasonic plat has failed with melting but evga 1200 was good
1000 ------------ 750 evga p2 cosair rmxi? rosewill quark good
850 -------------640 rosewill quark all good
750 --------------575 evga p2 all good
so of quality psu seasonic has melted more then once at decent power levels the others were good.
note for rosewill quark and tokamak are good.
