Scythe Chouriki 2 1000W

Zitat: Scythe has a solid PSU with the Chouriki 2. It performs within the ATX specifications and shows quite a bit of quality inside and out. Those needing a high wattage power supply will be hard pressed to find a better package elsewhere for the price the Scythe offers it at. I feel that Scythe does need to work a little on the internal packaging of their power supplies. Plastic and foam are cheap and easy to add to and there is no excuse for not properly protecting a product through its journey from the factory to your doorstep. Our sample arrived safely, but had external packaging and looked to have been handled with care, unlike many others that have been sent my way. Packaging aside, I worry about the degradation of the capacitors over time and the output of the 5V rail. The 5V rail was extremely close to failing to pass ATX specifications and degradation over time could easily send this power supply below the acceptable levels. It takes quite a rig to load down a full 1000W of power and this represents quite an investment for those in need of something this powerful. That said, I would still recommend this power supply for someone on a budget.
