It's only a matter of time before someone comes up with a Fatal1ty brand energy drink (if it hasn't been done already), but in the meantime, Jonathan Wendel continues to have his gaming moniker marketed on more PC components, the latest being a line of power supplies by OCZ.

"These high-performance power supplies were co-developed with the expertise of Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, 12-time World champion, to meet the specific needs of fellow gamers," OCZ wrote in a press release. "OCZ Fatal1ty Professional Series PSUs feature incredible performance to power the latest graphics cards and hard drives."

The new 'co-developed' Fatal1ty power supplies will come in three configurations to start with, including a non-modular 400W, modular 550W, and non-modular 700W unit with a single +12V rail. All three power supplies are 80-plus certified and sport a red-LED 120mm fan. The 550W and 700W units also boast SLI-certification.

The PSUs are backed by 5-year (700W) and 3-year warranties (400W and 550W). No word yet on pricing or availability.

"non-modular 400W, modular 550W, and non-modular 700W unit with a single +12V rail"

 looks like an entry level lineup to me. Most gaming power supplies come with at least 2 +12v rail.

The 700W is the only one with a single +12V rail, which is actually more desirable than splitting the available amps over multiple rails.  You mostly find single +12V rail PSUs in the higher end, PC Power & Cooling (now owned by OCZ) being a good example.

avatar400watts? Why would someone

Submitted by Keith E. Whisman on Wed, 11/26/2008 - 4:51pm

400watts? Why would someone that needs a 400watt power supply buy a super highend one that has a games tag on it? A gamer would need a 1000-1200watt PSU... Look at the GTX280 you need a 1200watt psu. That 700watt psu is approaching entry level for gaming pc's but if your going to run highend SLI then it's just too little too late...

I'm running an 800watt PSU for my SLI rig and it's almost taxed out. It's a highend PSU so I feel safe but I dare not install 2 GTX280's in SLI in my rig. I would need a new PSU or at least a second one.

Submitted by Gailim on Sat, 11/29/2008 - 5:48am

what are you talking about?

GPU's dontuse anywhere close to that kind of power.

look here

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3334&p=9

a quad core system with two GTX 280's in SLI only used 508W!  700W? entry level? what are you smoking?

as you can see here

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3372&p=10

two 4870 X2's only used 752W thats about as high end as you can get. and still 250W shy of 1KW

 

please do research next time

Submitted by Devo85x on Wed, 11/26/2008 - 2:12pm

I must say that it looks amazing and I would be willing to put one in a new rig if it only came in higher wattages
