It's their top of the range AX1200 and I'm drawing maybe 1220 on them at the moment. I have four.
Opinions appreciated - thanks.
Says on Corsair that max is 1204w.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

It's all relative... just say one thing if insurance finds out they ain't gonna pay if the house burns down.

Can you let me know your reasoning? |

Can you let me know your reasoning? The rating on its side? Tell me what you think. Item says its max load is 1200 on all rails. You can look on the side of your psu and it will tell you how much it takes. If you are over that limit. Congrats on taking your first steps into fire creation. Also. How often in the manual, website, or anywhere does it say not to overload? |

The corsair AX1200 is by far the best PSU on the market, I seen it pulling 1560 and shows very little ripple on the 12V Rail. Its a beast of a single rail PSU and it will work at 1300-1350 with its gold rating also. YOU WONT HAVE AN ISSUE  Good choice, they were out of stock so i went for the Akasa HCP1200W which is so close to the corsair there isnt much between them. I run 4 5850's OC'd and a basic AMD system (athlon x2's) and it doesnt even get warm  |

It mostly able protecting themselves legally... I was just wondering if it's the same case with "high quality" PSU's, that's all. |

Show middle finger to system and then destroy it!

If the voltage under load does not drop noticeably, the PSU is able to sustain it.

I'm pulling about 5 or 6kW/h, our voltage should normally be at 230 but while I have everything running it's down at about 180 to 190. I got the local electricity service to see if there are other problems with the power coming in, he put in a measurement device for the last week to monitor. He is going to send me a written report.
180 isn't that low really though is it. These PSU's can operate right down to 85v I think....

The electricity mains in my country has a variance of +/-7%. It is impossible to get 180-190V

I haven't seen anyone getting 8GH from one PSU drawing more than over the 1200 watt mark. Not sure why you decided to try and take the thread off topic though with this ill thought out and pointless post. Just to re-iterate though, my reader is showing a variance of between 180 and 190v and it should be 230. The power company thought it was very odd when I told them and they put a measurement device into my house for the last week. We did have voltage problems in the past aswell which were "apparently" sorted out. We only found there was an issue when a new electric shower was destroyed. The transformer is close to us if that should make any difference. |

I measured (with good equipment) anything between 150 and 270 V in a timeframe of about 3 weeks. I was curious why my equipment froze at random, UPS-es made strange noise (and one died) and so on. After that I decided not to measure anymore... |

Maybe you want to get a surge protector or something while waiting for your power company reply, such variance is not common. The electricity mains in my country has a variance of +/-7%. It is impossible to get 180-190V

From what I've read those protectors are useless. The current needs to travel from live to neutral to have flow. I.e. through the psu where its converted to dc - I assume the converter is a complete circuit in and of itself so the psu should absorb the surge. |

Not really useless, but at the very least it gives you a peace of the mind . Dealing with power companies can be tedious and pain in the neck. |

If you want real peace of mind then a UPS with pure sine wave output is what you want, good stable power to the box at all times using one of them. I don't think this is required either. While it will condition the incoming current, its deliberatly made dirty within the psu and and won't affect the dc. Replacement of a psu is gonna be cheaper than a ups given u lose power efficienty aswell. |
