AMD Selects PC Power & Cooling TURBO-COOL 1KW-SR TO POWER AMD QUAD FX
 

AMD’s (NYSE:AMD) introduction of the AMD Quad FX Platform with Dual Socket
Direct Connect (DSDC) Architecture has given PC enthusiasts and
performance power users unprecedented megatasking capability. Designed to
take advantage of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, the AMD Quad
FX platform consists of two AMD Athlon 64 FX-70 series dual-core
processors and supports four (4) PCI-E graphics cards, twelve (12) SATA
ports, and can power eight (8) monitors using two identical NVIDIA 680a
chipsets supporting dual- or quad- SLI;. With this remarkable new
level in computing performance, a reliable, ultra high-performance power
supply becomes an essential system component.

PC Power and Cooling, Inc. provides the power supply now used by AMD for
AMD Quad FX platforms. The power supply, the Turbo-Cool® 1KW-SR, is built
with a single 12 volt rail so that all the power is available to the
system, avoiding distribution losses (up to 30% of the wattage rating) and
over-current shutdowns inherent in multi-rail 12 volt designs.

The Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR is based on the proven, upscale technology of the
renowned Turbo-Cool 1KW, the industry's first One Kilowatt PC enthusiast
power supply, introduced in September 2005. Rated for 1000 watts of
continuous power at 50°C (1100W peak), the Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR is an
efficient EPS12V power supply with clean, stable output in a form factor
that fits most ATX cases. Its complete array of output connectors includes
quad PCI-E connectors.

The Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR power supply is approved by major safety agencies,
carries a 5-year warranty, and retails for $549. It is currently shipping
world-wide, and is available direct from PC Power and Cooling as well as
through e-tailers such as NewEgg.com and specialty retailers such as Fry's
Electronics and Micro Center.
